You are in command of a small special unit which has been founded to face the alien strike force. To be successful on the long run, you will also have to have a research team study the aliens and their technologies in order to learn as much as possible about their technology, their goals and the aliens themselves.<br> 'UFO: Alien Invasion' is heavily inspired by the 'X-COM' series by Mythos and Microprose. The first game of the series, 'UFO DEFENSE', became a classic and, in our honest opinion, is one of the best games ever made.<br> 'UFO: Alien Invasion' is neither a sequel nor a remake of 'UFO DEFENSE' - we simply had the urge to create a similar strategy game, which will hopefully be as entertaining as the original was for the players (and for the developers, of course ;) ).

Without this, OpenVMS was reporting a compile error. <li>More changes to support OpenVMS. <li>Updated the ALSA DSP module to use the ALSA 1.0 API. <li>Paths now allow a literal "$" if it's preceded by "\". <li>The JOY_SDL option should now actually work with non-SDL targets. <li>Fixed a segfault that occurred when "-debug" was used with a rotated game. <li>The debugger window should no longer be blank for 32bpp games. <li>Fixed a bug in fix-comments.c that was causing it to mangle src/drivers/vendetta.c. <li>When XINPUT is defined in the makefile but no XInput devices are configured, the mouse is treated as a trackball. <li>Added SYSCONFDIR to the makefile to specify a path for systemwide configuration files. <li>Hacked support for CHD files into the mame-cd script in the contrib tools directory. Also fixed a few small bugs. <li>The Xv YUV code should now work on big-endian platforms. <li>Removed "neomame" and "cpsmame" as targets from the makefile since the core no longer supports them. <li>The trigger for the ACT LABS TV light gun now works; reloading now requires only one offscreen shot instead of two.</ul> | Xmame 0.79.1 | updated | Xmame |

Enemies will only have a friend or foe indicator (red/green triangle) or show up on the mission map only when they are within range of one of your team's sensors.
