Sorry. "X-Wing Virtual Machine", a fan remake of the original game
that was discussed here a few weeks ago (hence my blind assumptions
the initialism would be recongized). They completely rebuilt the game
engine to modern standards whilst retaining the gameplay of the
original (often to the game's detriment, since the original had some
terrible mission design at times).

But if you want to play "X-Wing" like it was 1993 but want modern
hardware support and visuals, XVM is the best way to do it.

A "Diablo 2" fan-remake using that same philosophy would be ideal.

Indeed that does sound good.
