I wonder if anyone beside me is interested in programming a remake of UFO Enemy unknown. Mythos-Games obviously disappeared, so it''s very unlikely that there will be a professional revival of this game in the near future. It was one of my all-time favourites and it would be great to revive the game. Just a 1:1 adaptation using modern graphics and sound. What do you think? (leaving aside any copyright issues)

Sounds interesting, I''m coding a 3D engine for a MMOG (RTS+RPG) and a RPG, so the engine should be capable of handling such a game.

I really like it and played it again two years ago.
Maybe you could work with me on my engine and use it for your game ASAP.


Concerning the remake, what are the new features you would like to include fx wise but also gameplay wise ?

Instead of a remake, how about your own expansion of the UFO world?

Ohhh.. I remember those days, with UFO: Enemy Unknown and the other UFO games! I just love the serie, and it would be greatly appreaciated by at least one person(me) if they were continued! I would say; go for it

I''m working on a new 3d engine, this one is going to be opensource and all that.. But first I just want to show the executable off. Try out my Engine

He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has
been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This
disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless
brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder

(Mythos Games were driven out of business. Take a look at CoDo Games instead.)

Ooh, UFO: Enemy Unknown......... *tear* the memories =)

We used to play it like 4 persons after school, each "being" a character, letting you decide what actions the character should make... Man it was fun... I loved the research facility and the upgrading aspects of the game...

The X-com3 is also an excellent game, I love the fact that you''re mission is to defend the city... doing it by shooting down ufos, or doing it by researching the aliens, so you eventually can use their technology against them or ... etc etc

Man, I''m gonna dig out the CDs! (I hade all 4 games on original cd)...
