A team of modders have made a program that lets you easily, seamlessly play the old X-Com on modern systems with widescreen resolutions, lots of optional gameplay tweaks, little improvements, bug fixes like the bug that always reset the game to the easiest difficulty after the first month and best of all the game gets the speed right, so no stuttering or shots and characters darting all over the place like they were superman. You need a copy of the old game, either on cd or a digital version like the steam one to run the mod but you can get the mod itself from here.

 

Anyone who hasn't played the old x-com and is curious about it, you can pick it up for £3 from steam and this mod makes it extremely easy to get the game working as it was intended. It stands up very well for a game that was released in the 90's and is still one of the best turn based strategy games ever made.
