For example, Hybrid Mod (which combines X-COM and TFTD) or X-Com Files require OXCE. They are backward compatible, in general. Any mod may have one of 3 distinct engines as a requirement: pure OXC, "Nightly" OXC or OXCE. This involves much less frustration when you understand basics of mod compatibility. You probably want to use OpenXcom with mods. The code is fully documented and open-source so anyone can take a crack at it.

Flexibility: Port the game to any platform you like, customize it to your liking, or use it to make your own far-fetched remakes.

A nicer base layout, better laser weapons, maybe challenge yourself with a custom game mode, or just put in all the crazy stuff you've always wanted! None of it is hardcoded. Sure the original was pretty good, but maybe you just think it could be that bit better.

Moddability: Tweak the game to your heart's content.

No more 80-item-limit, personnel limits, funding overflows, disconnected facilities, broken proximity grenades, floating soldiers, etc.

Fixability: Play the game natively without any need for emulators or fancy hacks, with none of the limitations and bugs that plagued the original.

All the same graphics, sound and gameplay with a brand new codebase written from scratch. The goal of the project is to bring back the tried and true feel of the original with none of the issues. It was originally founded by SupSuper in February 2009, and has since grown into a small development team surrounded by a very supporting community.

OpenXcom is an open-source clone of the original X-COM, licensed under the GPL and written in C++ / SDL. The overall gameplay alternates between globe-level, and single-battlefield level, until either your forces are completely wiped out, or you have defeated the enemy invasion. Most, but not all, of these battles will involve an alien ship, either intact or damaged. It is possible to have to flee but still have positive points (considered a marginal victory - you might not have stopped the aliens, but you did enough damage that your funding nations will be happy enough). More accurately, you are scored based on a variety of functions (aliens killed, innocent bystanders killed, etc), and your goal is to be positive. In part 2, you are in a turn-based, tactical, grid-based combat simulation, with fog-of-war your goal is generally to defeat (capture or kill) the aliens in that battle. In part 1, you are focused on globe-level activities: Tracking UFO actions around the world (possibly shooting them down, or sending troops to the sites of ship landings), keeping governments happy with your actions, getting funding money from various governments, and spending it on soldiers and equipment. X-Com is a simulation of an alien invasion of earth.
