So it’s... X-Com for 5150?
Cool :-)
Well, X-Com is my all time favourite PC game
The game is played in the 5150 universe with Hishen, Razor, Graths, Zhuh-Zhuh and Xeogs, but I think it's easy to change them for the X-Com aliens.
There are alien research but the game is mainly about skirmishing.
Cheers,
