I have opened a site at http://www.angelfire.com/la/wakko98/ in about a week
or 2 it should be completly redone. I am also rewriting the FAQ's for the
x-com games the one for x-com 1 should be up but it is incomplete and I will
probably redo the entire thing since I have finnaly learned HTML I'm
currently working on TFTd FAQ at
http://www.angelfire.com/la/wakko98/xcom2.html you will have to use that link
since I have not added it to the main page of which I will Redo

Some of the links I have to offer Simon;

http://w3.laval.com/~nords/centrexe.htm - XCOM Central

http://homepages.tig.com.au/~rakki/Sect1/cnewsarc.htm - XCOM Chronology [A
history of sites related to XCOM]

http://members.iquest.net/~rclark/ClarkWehyr.html - Robert Clark of
UFOEDIT/TFTDEDIT fame [worth a look!] (under freeware)

http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Rampart/5504/combase1.htm - COMBASE NOVA
[Excellent story to be found here, called Red November, still being written]

http://homepages.tig.com.au/~rakki/Gfx/impeagle.gif - Can't remember!

http://members.xoom.com/XCOManiac/ - About the only site which is nearly up
to date.  Last updated 2nd October.

http://www.azek.com/planetxcom/ - Looks good, but sorely lacking in update.
Still under construction from what I can gather, but looks interesting.

http://homepages.tig.com.au/~rakki/ - Can't remember

http://members.xoom.com/sectoidhaven/start.htm - The Sectoid Haven.  Another
interesting looking site, but no recent updates.

http://members.xoom.com/jedilad/xcom1.html - Can't remember

http://www.franken.de/users/speedy/hakan/hobbies/games/tftd/Welcome-e.html -
Can't remember

http://members.aol.com/drippieth/xcom/mainlogo.gif - XCOM @ Apathy online.
Looks quite nice, but again, another site in need of updating.

http://homepages.tig.com.au/~rakki/Sect1/xwebchro.htm - XCOM Chronology
[don't know why I've got two different entries in my favourites, though...
!?]

http://devisraad.com/xcom.htm - XCOM files to download.  All sorts of files
for the various XCOM titles

http://members.aol.com/stjones/xcomutil/ - Scott Jones site for his editor.

http://sun3.lib.uci.edu/~lrmann/xcom3/ - Can't remember

http://w3.laval.com/~nords/x_link.htm - Can't remember

http://members.xoom.com/sectoidhaven/xring/index.html - The XCOM webring.
Only listing around 10 sites, but no doubt with time and the new interest in
XCOM, this will skyrocket in a very short time.

http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Alley/6275/gnxcom.htm - Kasey Chang
archive on XCOM.  The FAQ download for TFTD is corrupted, so don't bother
trying. The FAQ's are however stored elsewhere... see below.

http://www.gamecenter.com/Underground/Community/Strategy/Xcom/ - Ah, the
FAQ's and so forth.  Worth looking around this place and the various other
sub categories contained within.  Multiple links on things XCOM can be
found.  Definitely a good place to look for stuff.

http://www.ogr.com/features/strategy/bits-xcom.html - Thoughts on UFO.  An
interesting visit and read.

http://www.mythosgames.com/ - Mythos Homepage, where it all began.

http://www.mythosgames.com/mythlink.htm - Julian's team, the link to the
links!

http://support.holobyte.com/webcgi/webcgi.exe?New,KB=Xcom - Can't remember.

Oh, and finally...

http://www.microprose.com - Goes without saying!

And for those of us who need to contact Dave Ellis, current project lead of
XCOM6, here's his email address at present:

inter...@microprose.com - Just don't forget to put XCOM6 in the subject
header!!!

Is that enough to be going on with... ?

Dear friends,
                       I was wondering, if we could start a ratings thread,
on the subject of websites and webpages, dedicated to X-com.
