The Oldies are the Best

A while ago I mentioned the classic game XCOM which tonight I found out can now be played multiplayer and online thanks to the work of Sourceforge project UFO2000.

The original developers of XCOM have brought out their latest installment of the series, Laser Squad Nemesis that certainly looks a lot cooler than the first XCOM, and the even more dated Laser Squad (amiga & speccy box art).

Well the graphics may change, but the core gameplay elements have always been there in some shape or form. There have been several unsucessful attempts to mimic the style of the original XCOM game and I have yet to see a clone out there that manages it. It is good to know that people are still trying, although some look more convincing than others...
