Admittedly I haven't played much of , and the geo-specific naming conventions make my head spin.

That said - "Monsters in the Dark" is a book that's high on my list to read this year.

It chronicles the legendary journey of Julian Gollop and the creation of X-COM.

The image is the cover of a book titled "MONSTERS in the DARK: The Making of X-COM: UFO Defense" by David L. Craddock with a foreword by Davide Soliani, Creative Director of "Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle." The cover art is atmospheric and depicts a scene of a human figure in a defensive stance with a firearm, facing off against several alien creatures under a night sky. Above the scene, the title "MONSTERS in the DARK" is displayed in large, bold lettering, emphasizing the theme of extraterrestrial threats lurking in the unknown, which is a central element in the game "X-COM: UFO Defense." This suggests that the book provides a detailed account of the development and creation of the classic strategy video game.
