It's been a while, but we've all got to work in order to pay bills! I've now updated the main page and contact page with a link to my forum. I've also added the link to download Aftermath's latest patch that fixed everything!

It has been a while, but here are some minor updates to the site. I've regrouped the games and projects to have a shorter menu bar on the left side of the screen. I've also added a site map, for those that would be interested.

Minor update. I got an email stating that the demo of X-COM 1 wasn't working in DOSBox. So I went to try it out, and he was right! So I updated the pages accordinly to this new information. Please note however that the TFTD demo works with DOSBox, but there is no sound effects.

You would not believe it, and I didn't myself, but tons of links were not functional! All that is fixed now, and the feedback form is now online! (sorry about that). I also added a personalized error file for the 404 - file not found.
Visitors are sending me emails asking how to play X-COM on today's computers. That information can be found here . This link is there since the debuts of this site, but unfortunaly it seems that I was not clear on how to get to the page. So I've changed the link so it looks like this:
I also changed the locations of the link so it will be easier to find. Any comments? send feedback here

Added X-COM 1 manual to the download page, as well as the X-COM 1 page. The file is in PDF format.

Added link to Project Xenocide! Also reworked again the menu buttons, this time smaller! You will notice that the forums and the Project Xenocide buttons are glowing green instead of blue... that's because those links are related to XCOMUFO.com (this site's host). Please send me feedback as for the menu buttons here.

Updated the news section, as well as the wallpapers (to match the site's colors, and I removed some also) . Also added a new section to the site called "UFO: Aftershock".
Also added videos for Alliance & Aftershock

Because I don't have a forum, and because I don't need a forum for myself, I've decided to share my links with my host's forum, XCOMUFO.com. There you can find lots and lots of information, and you might see me there as well!

Again! I cannot stop myself! Added media file for UFO: Aftermath. I also changed for the third or fourth time now the menu buttons... and a feedback page! I've updated the contact page, as well as the email banner to reflect the new feedback form.
Also, Micah (of xcomufo.com) as been kind enough to give me a new email to suit this website's needs. The address is:
And for last, and not the least, I've decided to change the website's name from "Arky's X-COM Site" to "Arky's X-COM Page" . Why? Well, everybody called it "Arky's X-COM Page", and so I started to do the same!. So here it is, welcome to Arky's X-COM Page!

Another update! This time I've added the X-COM Apocalypse and Interceptor media files! I've also found the Apocalypse official demo, that you can download from the downloads page or the apocalypse page.

Again! Cosmetic updates! I thought that my site was too much black, so I added my special blend of blue! Althought I had to redo all the page headers, buttons and so on... it's all done now! Enjoy!
I've also updated the main page, now with news. This page now serves as updates related to this site, and not X-COM in general. Other than that, minor updates in the links, disclaimer and aftermath pages. Let me know what you think!

Again, some cosmetic changes... this time to put more colors in the site! I've revamped the sidebar menu, adding a nice blue theme to it.... I also added the X-COM logo to the main page, and added some content to the philosophy section.
Before I go, many thanks to Micah for his support! (host of xcomufo.com)

It's cleanup time! I spent the afternoon making ajustments to the website. There is no new content since yesterday, however a lot of minor modifications have been made. The first noticeable one is the intro page, which has been removed. Also, directory listing has been updated for easier surfing. Add some minor cosmetic changes, and here we are! If there is any issues with links, buttons or pictures please contact me here.

Great news for Arky's X-COM site! As you now know, the site is now hosted by a new server, xcomufo.com! Many thanks to Micah, who helped me to move the site here at it's new address, commanderx.xcomufo.com ! I have also updated some pages for the links, so those of you who had favorites better refresh them! Also added a new website in the links section, worth a look! To visit the old site, clickhere
I downloaded the "technical Demo" of UFO: Alien Invasion, and surprisingly, it's very much like UFO: Enemy Unknown! Go to their website to download your copy today.
I'm still not finished with some parts of the site, and I will ask you to be patient... but in the meantime, contact me if you have anything to say!

Updates! Who wants fresh updates hot form the oven? The UFO: Defense, Terror from the Deep, Apocalypse and Interceptor pages are up and running! I recycled the old pages to fit the new "decor" and added a personal note to each of them... The X-COM Chronology section should be up soon, so enjoy these new pages in the meantime!

My efforts were not in vain! I almost got an instant reply from my email to Altar Interactive about my UFO: Aftermath page. This site is officially a UFO: Aftermath fan site!
Because the site is accessed other than the main page, I added some functionality to several pages in order to be accessed easily. I also added in the download section ways to resolve issues with UFO: Aftermath. Read my comments here
Some important updates that was brought up to my attention... browser bugs that I'm still trying to resolve... they disappear and come back. If you are asked to debug pages while surfing my web site and using Internet Explorer, please click on Tools --> Internet Options --> Advanced Tab --> Disable script debugging (make sure that the box is checked). Thank you for your patience!

Today is an important day for this web site... After six years, this website is now redesigned from scratch. The old website is still available here.
Some of the sections are still unavailable, however, much demands forced me to publish the site before I could finish it. If you have questions, suggestions, rumors or any other comments, you can contact me here. Don't forget to visit the download section!
