===Julian Gollop's unofficial games===
''[[The Dreamland Chronicles: Freedom Ridge]]'' was a game for the PC and [[PlayStation 2]] by Julian Gollop's Mythos Games (creators of ''UFO: Enemy Unknown'' and ''X-COM: Apocalypse''), claimed to having been "essentially a remake of the first ''X-Com'' with 3D graphics."<ref name=codo_about>{{cite web | title =XCom UFO creators strategy game Laser Squad Nemesis | publisher =Codo Technologies | url =http://www.lasersquadnemesis.com/AboutUs.htm | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20090308022717/http://www.lasersquadnemesis.com/AboutUs.htm | archive-date =2009-03-08 | access-date =2007-11-26  }}</ref> ''The Dreamland Chronicles'' was canceled in 2001 and Mythos Games soon ceased to exist.

''[[Laser Squad Nemesis]]'' is a 2002 low-budget PC turn-based tactics game developed by Gollop's next company [[Codo Technologies]] and very similar to the turn-based Battlescape combat system of the first ''X-COM''. In 2005, Codo Technologies and publisher [[Namco]] also released ''[[Rebelstar: Tactical Command]]'', a [[Game Boy Advance]] turn-based [[tactical role-playing game]] that too was reminiscent of the early Battlescape system.

''[[Phoenix Point]]'' is a strategy and turn-based tactics video game for Windows, and OS X that has the open world, strategic layers of the ''X-COM'' style games of the 1990s like ''Enemy Unknown'' and ''Apocalypse'' together with the presentation and tactical mechanics of the more recent Firaxis reboot games.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/julian-gollop-s-new-game-will-be-a-cross-between-old-and-new-xcom/0166045 |title=Julian Gollop's new game will be a cross between old and new XCOM |publisher=mcvuk.com |date=2016-04-27 |access-date=2017-06-14 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160706171117/http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/julian-gollop-s-new-game-will-be-a-cross-between-old-and-new-xcom/0166045 |archive-date=2016-07-06 }}</ref> The game was developed by Gollop with [[Snapshot Games]], an independent game studio in Bulgaria.
