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:
“Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life’s duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
