#OpenXcom

2025-06-08

Heute aus reiner Langeweile das OpenXCOM auf Linux "installiert" und eingestellt.

Hatte das bereits eine Weile aber hatte kein Erfolg es zum laufen zu bekomen, heute mal die Zeit genutzt mich damit zu beschäftigen und das mit Erfolg 🙂 .

Aktualizace překladu modifikace Commendations již ve verzi 3.3!
Našel se čas i odvaha ponořit se do hlubin Ufopaedie; chybějící popisky byly doplněny, překlepy vymýceny a pár textových mutací zlikvidováno s chirurgickou přesností. labros.cz

Heute im laufe des Tages (zwischendurch) die beiden aktuellen Versionen von OpenXCOM (normal & extended) auf meinen Retro Spiele Compi installiert. Die werden am Donnerstag Abend genauer begutachtet und gespielt bzw. angespielt 😃.

I wonder if OpenXCOM or UFO:Alien Invasion would be more moddable into an entirely original game project without altering the engine? 🤔 or whether it'd just make more sense to start from scratch with something like that

This is what the very first osgameclones.com looked like, in 2011-06-01, with a grand total of 7 games, compared to 1224 today.

github.com/opengaming/osgamecl

The style and purpose haven't changed, and it's good that there are way more games now, but it's also harder to find things. Maybe better searching and filtering are needed?

Of these original 7 games, 5 are still going strong (#OpenTTD, #CorsixTH, #fheroes2, #VCMI, #OpenXCOM) which is incredible.

Screenshot of osgameclones.com in its first iteration in 2011, with only 7 clones listed, in a bare web 1.0 style. The games listed are: OpenTTD (Transport Tycoon), CorsixTH (Theme Hospital), fheroes2 (Heroes of Might & Magic 2), VCMI (Heroes of Might & Magic 3), Doomsday (Doom), UFO: The Two Sides and OpenXcom (X-COM: UFO Defence).

New #openxcom video, this time a terror mission in Madrid. I turned my mic on for a little commentary for this one. #XComUFODefense

Some Open X-Com here. Going into an Alien base. I re-loaded a couple times on this one, some pretty crazy stuff happened. Still took a couple casualties, but the team faired well overall. And... you can see possibly the toughest attack dog in history. Some good action in this one. #XCom #OpenXCom

Sigh - you open a game to take a couple of brief screenshots for an idea you had for a toot, and-- hey, when did it become night-time? #retrogaming #xcom #openxcom

Won't someone port OpenXcom to the Switch already?

Yeah there's a Vita port but I'm not going to buy a Vita only for X-Com (I might end up buying a cheap second hand Vita only for X-Com...)

The #FreeSoftware project that's going to be featured on the #FreeSoftwareAdvent on the 17th is

**OpenXCom**

A great, fully open re-implementation of the original 1994 Microprose game, X-Com: UFO defense (or UFO: Enemy Unknown in Europe).

It also nurtures a great modding community with a lot of original ideas, it's worth a try, if you want a game to play for... years.
