Hmm... You could make a clone :-) There aren't too many good
turn-based squad games out there. X-Com is just a name anyway...
right? And Microprose does not own the idea of the 'Greys' invading
Earth. This way you could set your own timeline etc. as well.

If you haveto ask how much it is you probably can't afford it.

OR....you could make an addon for the original XCOM..conceivable with
Microprose's blessing.  It could allow editing of many, many aspects of the
game, including the reseach tree...and offer a graphics makeover toboot,
along the lines of what the poeple did with the XMEN makeover of Quake..or
was that Doom?..I can't say I saw it (not my type of game).  I know I'd buy
it.

Think about it.. an X-com PC might be a bit of fun, maybe a 1950's War of the
Worlds scenario? With the 1890's War of the Worlds coming out there would be a
lot more interest. Already I have read complaints that some people want the
50's scene more.  I'm supposed to be doing the hex and graphics part of a X-Com
user patch myself, but I got Apoc and a bunch of other cool stuff so I'm sort
of sidetracked.  I did'nt write in to support your project because it would be
best if I finished mine first.  Its so depressing  seeing an indy project die.
If you make an add-on/expansion/PC for UFO  you can make life a lot easier for
yourself and at the same time put your ideas into play.
