199X : Adventures Across the Einstein-Rosen Bridge!
It is the twilight of the twentieth century, and life in the holy American Empire is good under the august rulership of Emperor Norton the 4th as it prepares for the dawn of the twenty-first century.
But all is not well, there are those who would endanger the way of American Life, Truth, Justice and Freedom for all.
In the savage fecund jungles of Mars, the insidious remnants of the Japanese Empire-Nazi Germany Alliance skulk and prepare for the next Great War, only this time it would be between worlds.
Even on earth, in Africa, there is dissent against all of Humanity and not just America as the hyper-intelligent dictator of gorilla city, Raksha, speaks of gorilla ascension and displacing all of humanity in a perverse mockery of Darwinism.
But despite these and other dire threats to Humanity, America, and Earth, it is still a golden era of wonders and prosperity as flying cars and Zeppelin air-trains fill the skies. While a cultural and musical revolution flourishes in the Speakeasies that dot the cities of America, lighted by plotonium power plants.
More than that, humanity has step forth into the greater universe with space guns that launch void-faring ships that sail upon the solar-winds.
And it is here where you stand. What tales will they tell of you?
Will you lurk in the dark underbelly of civilization, a private dick investigating crimes for his next meal and rent?
Or will you battle the Nazi in the skies over the jungles of Mars where they have enslaved the savage but noble martians?
Dare you match wits and cold steel against the brightest and deadliest of the gorilla kingdom?
Or will you step forth into infinity, sailing upon the aetheric currents of space between worlds and battling alien menaces?

Game theme is Pulp Adventure!
Game system likely would be Adventure! by White Wolf, or Spirit of the Century...

So, I was thinking of maybe one day running this as a game (does this mean it qualifies as a game forum post)? And I linked this to the TFF IRC chat and someone thought it would make for a great fanfic setting... so erm... ^_^;
I should note first that the feel and look of the tech would be Retro-Future, in much the manner that tech in 40K is Grim Dark!-Gothic.
