- Lessons from Open-Source Game Projects
OpenXCOM - XCOM clone. C++, SDL2
- XcomUtil
Love(ed) that game.
Always wonder where they get their "recruits", who seem to have trouble with aiming their weapons towards the enemy.
There's an open-source & cross platform remake of the engine. You still need the original game assets.
Easy to mod - he config files are YAML.

- A littel guide for alien colony assaults in TFTD
(Before I say anything I just want to say that I've only played TFTD on beginner. I don't know if this works on the harder difficulties, but I feel like the strategy is relatively sound. Please don't take my word as gospel lol. Also, PLEASE USE OPENXCOM! It's a lifesaver.)
- Is the original Xcom games worth playing nowadays?
If you want to go for that ride I highly recommend to buy the game and install OpenXCom which comes with full compability on modern systems and QoL improvements and a ton of mods and bugfixes (note you need a copy of the original to play openxcom as it uses the sprites, music etc.): https://openxcom.org/
- What game gives you nostalgia and how old are you?
X-Com was just so hard, and I kept naming all my soldiers various family and friend names ... and boy did they die a lot. I still go back and play it randomly to this day, thanks to the https://openxcom.org project 🤘🤘🤘
- Save 100% on Warhammer 40,000: Gladius
Are you talking about this? That's a homage to the original X-COM games, not the two revived XCOM games (Enemy Unknown and 2).
- An ironman victory almost 30 years in the making. What a journey. What a game. Unlike anything else.
- What is your favorite open source Linux game? Mine is Wideland (Best way to describe is the way Settlers 3 should have been)
With the amount of streams I have with modded openxcom, I'm pretty sure I'm already addicted to it.
- Et indblik i pirateri af computerspil 90’erne
Til dem der ikke er færdig med at spille UFO: Enemy Unknown, så er der ret meget at hente i OpenXcom. Spil var bare bedre dengang.
- What is the Oldest Game you still play?
Good old one :) https://openxcom.org/
