If it is turn-based, I am definitely in! XCOM was one of the best games I ever played. Thanks for posting this, Thermoelectron!

Pretty much agreed. Although I finally got a different kind of alien ship today--supply ship. I was starting to think they only had the scout/abductor and then the overseer.

It's a crap shoot, but probably. It's a good game but not the classic that X-Com originally was, so I'd expect at least a few temporary price cuts.
