X-WING: Alliance (released in 1999 for the PC)


...And in this screenshot I just copped me a buckethead! Seems I haven't lost my touch! "Yeeeehaaaa! This is Gold One reporting all clear, Gold Leader!"

Here's a rather sketchy story I wrote, while trying to come up with a quick way to explain why our country is suffering from a fate that seems to be pulling itself down (economically) all the time. I actually posted this in a thread, but this time around, I had more time to tweak/embellish some parts (since I wanted it to be more presentable in this blog! *chuckles*), so here it is:
