OpenXcom 1.0 Released

[wraggster]

It's a small class of video games that still draw interest or inspire an active community 20 years after their first release — even if we're now 40 years into the era of commercial video games (http://www.pong-story.com/). Games like Doom, the several iterations of Civilization, and the Mario Brothersfranchise will probably be around and played in some form many decades hence. The X-COM family of games fits, too, having inspired various spiritual successors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-com#Spiritual_successors) since its release in 1994. Now, an anonymous reader writes that the open source (GPL) " OpenXcom 1.0 is finally released (http://openxcom.org/), after 5224 commits, 1843 days, and 606 resolved issues since v0.9. 20 years of X-COM — XCOM oldschool lovers enjoy!"
