Reimplementation of the original X-COM games.

OpenXcom recreates UFO: Enemy Unknown and X-COM: Terror From the Deep, using resource files from an original copy of either game. Players can install mods in their user directory and enable them through the in-game options. It separates game data, saved games and configuration, supports custom directory paths, and documents setups for Windows, macOS and Linux.
