Working In Windows

stub - anyone, please fill in more!

• The Collectors Edition of XCOM works in Windows already.
• The DOS version can be finicky in WinXP. While it's probably possible to subdue it manually, many people use DOSBox as a WinXP DOS emulator, with a high degree of success. It does have some minor inconveniences, but they're a lot less than figuring everything out manually! A tutorial for DOSBox can also be found here.

What Do You Like About X-COM?

I think that what everyone likes about X-COM should be in their own personal profile. --Danial 17:42, 29 Oct 2005 (PDT)

I agree. I also don't like having something about real UFOs on this site. (The new addition to bottom of main page.) They have lots of other places to go. This wiki is for XCOM gamers, not all kinds of real-live alien buffs.

Mythos preceded X-COM with Laser Squad and have recently produced Laser Squad Nemesis.
