In some ways it's more true to the original than the new X-COM game coming from Fraxis on a game mechanics stand-point, but they don't get the whole economy side of the game I don't think and it fails to recapture that part of the game to make it a whole remaking. NO remake/clone project has EVER done this properly. I'd bet the farm on this.
That I had to agree. But there was a game which come very close and it is UFO Extraterresrials http://ufo.ufo-extraterrestrials.com/
There is also a sequel to UFO Extraterrestrials due te come out soon named UFO 2 Extraterrestrials: Shadows over Earth http://www.ufo2extraterrestrials.com/

It's IDE works on all 3 major platforms and there are so many sensors that support it or can easily be adapted. If only there was an Object Pascal solution though.
If you find any pascal solution for theese please let me know.
