Yes, X-Com was a MicroProse title... It was a departure from their usual simulation and I actually bought it thinking it was going to be some sort of outer space sim.

I may not have bought it without the MicroProse stamp...

I've been playing this lately (well, slowly for the past two months actually). I'm playing it on realistic mode. It's seriously one of the best games I've played.

I could say similar things for the X-Com series, though I haven't played that in a long long time.

I'd love there to be new sequels to both, but I'm cautiously skeptical if they can live up. I believe some Russian studio is still working on a JA3. X-Com itself I don't think we'll see anything of anytime soon though.

For those who don't have it, you can buy JA2 via Steam by the way. It's still well worth playing, and runs no problem for me even on Vista.
