@Adam - You can grab all of the XCom games via Steam either individually or as a pack http://store.steampowered.com/sub/964/. They all run under DOSBOX quite well on Vista/Win7

@tixtac091 – I found a great method to do this. I typically go to Best Buy on the street date a game I want comes out. I take a copy of it to the clerk and bribe them around $60 to let me take it home, permanently. It has worked pretty well so far.

@Adam – I don't know of any personally, but I think there are some good resources out there on the interwebs. There is still a large fan base, I am really surprised that no one has tried to pick up this intellectual property as yet, for the current generation.

X-Com – greatest game ever made. Know where to get one that works now, or at least some clockspeed program? I found an original at a dollar store that rund so fast trying to set your base makes you send the world flying around 100 times with minimal mouse movement, and the GameTap one is a little glitchy too.
