Em@il Games: X-COM is a turn-based game played over email (optional one computer hot seat) loosely based on the original X-COM game. The units and weapons are similar. The graphics are basic but clear. The major difference is the game-play of course, which is very simple. Each player controls a squad of randomly assigned troops, you have limited action points and move/fire options. Whoever kills the other squad wins, no research, no campaign type options, just single map games. The players can select the side of the conflict (X-COM troops or Alien forces) and one of five available mission environments.
The typical time comes from the diary. Per category, it is the median time reported by people who finished it and, without enough answers, the diary time.
