But let there be no doubt about it: X-COM: Enforcer is very different from the other games in the series. X-COM: Alliance, a first-person tactical shooter, has been delayed until later in the year, and X-COM: Genesis, which was planned as a completely new 3D game that would return the series to its roots, has been placed on indefinite hiatus. X-COM fans have been anxiously awaiting the first completely new X-COM game since Interceptor, and it looks as though X-COM: Enforcer is going to be the first one out of the gate as the other planned titles in the series have been plagued by delays. This game was basically a remake of the first X-COM, but was limited to play-by-e-mail multiplayer mode. Most recently, Hasbro Interactive (which purchased Microprose in late '98) released X-COM: First Alien Invasion.

Microprose also released X-COM: Interceptor, which threw X-Wing-style space action into the mix.

(The company is now working on Dreamland Chronicles: Freedom Ridge, which is a full 3D game in the style of the original X-COM). In this game, Mythos added real-time combat, and it was the company's final X-COM product. Mythos was not involved in this game's development, though, as it was working on what would be the third game in the series: X-COM: Apocalypse. Shortly after UFO Defense's release came X-COM: Terror from the Deep, which took the same 'invaders from space' storyline and replaced it with 'aquatic enemies,' but the overall gameplay remained virtually the same. Mythos Games developed the original X-COM: UFO Defense (released in Europe as UFO: Enemy Unknown), which was an innovative turn-based sci-fi strategy game that put you in control of a global defense system, fighting off alien invaders. Microprose's X-COM franchise has had a strange and rather shaky history, as even its biggest fans will attest.
