bagelx Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Just like what the title says: what does x-com stand for? It may have been answered before, but did search in forums and no hits. Anyway, I also like to advertise for my post in the TFTD forum, I am making a TFTD guide and need inputs, anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
