::: NKF, you mean the original European release, right? I have the US release (X-COM: UFO Defense box (c)1994 with floppies) and it looks just like the pic seen [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-COM:_UFO_Defense here]. Everywhere in the manual says "X-COM", including in sentences (not just titles). So by "later games" you include the US release eh? FWIW I used to type it various ways in this wiki in the past, but now just use X-COM. --[[User:MikeTheRed|MikeTheRed]] 07:37, 15 October 2006 (PDT) | ::: NKF, you mean the original European release, right?

Shouldn't this page be named "X-Com" instead of "X-COM"?--Ethereal Cereal 19:55, 13 October 2006 (PDT)
Technically, X-COM in caps is the correct form. At least, that is how it is shown in the manuals, boxes and liturature. ;)--Zombie
- You know, I think I checked that at one point and confirmed it was 'X-COM', but I've seen it typed so many ways I can't even remember anymore. Even in-game it's spelled "XCom"... but I'll go with X-COM as the official spelling.--Ethereal Cereal 15:43, 14 October 2006 (PDT)
- In UFO, it was originally XCOM, no hyphen. Then the later games came along and introduced the hyphen and somehow we ended up using it in sentence case. - NKF
