X-COM: Alliance is a canceled video game in the science fiction series X-COM. The game was developed by three different teams of MicroProse developers (first as a subsidiary of Spectrum Holobyte, then Hasbro Interactive, and finally Infogrames Entertainment) between 1995 and 2002. Unlike other games in the X-COM series, most of which were strategy games, Alliance was a first person shooter. It was described as having "strategy, adventure, and RPG elements too."
Its initial working title was X-COM 4 (later X-COM 5); the project was code-named Fox Force Five to stop media leaks. After being officially announced in 1998 for a planned release in the first half of 1999, this highly anticipated game was repeatedly delayed and put on hold, before eventually becoming vaporware since 2002.

Famous quotes containing the word alliance:
“Racism as a form of skin worship, and as a sickness and a pathological anxiety for America, is so great, until the poor whites—rather than fighting for jobs or education—fight to remain pink and fight to remain white. And therefore they cannot see an alliance with people that they feel to be inherently inferior.”
—Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)
