In the year 2001, the reports of UFO sighting and alien abductions can no longer be ignored, for a news team in Arkansas walked into the middle of an invasion of a small town! Vivisection of living humans and animals, murderous rampages by horrendous creatures...

While the authorities quickly clamped down on the reports and video footage, they worked harder than ever to comprehend and deal with this threat, and so, X-COM (Extra-terrestrial Combat unit) was born. Funded covertly by most countries of the United Nations, the job of X-COM is to understand and eliminate the threat these horrors pose to all Mankind.

Using the rules for AD&D, you can now play the X-COM computer games as a roleplaying game! Hunt and fight floaters and ethereals through cities, research alien weaponry, and wipe the scum from existance! All the rules and info you need are here, you just need the AD&D Player's Handbook for reference. And if you wish, you can always play as the aliens...!
