I don't know how many of you are familiar with the old X-Com: UFO Defense for PC. It was one of my first and favorite PC games when I got my old P90 back in the day. I've always been a fan of the X-Com series since day one...bought all the PC games brand new when they came out up until Interceptor (bleah!).

When X-Com: Apocalypse was released, it came with a poster for X-Com: Alliance. Alliance was a strategy FPS where you controlled an entire 4 man unit in strategic missions all in FPS via a HUD. Apparently, for some reason, the game was canned, although it seems to have been nearly complete. It was even listed in EB computers at the time....it was slated for release and then just vanished with no notice.

Microprose got sucked up by Infogrames, and when I called Infogrames, they told me they had no clue what I was talking about and to call their affiliates, Hasbro Interactive. I called Hasbro and they said call Infogrames. Very irritating. Suffice it to say...X-Com: Alliance never saw the light of day and I want to know what became of it...I REALLY REALLY wanted that game!!!!

If you want to know what the hell I'm talking about, here are links to some movies and pics of X-Com Alliance, including the complete game intro!
