Awesome Amiga Games: Alien Breed

[koshman]

Classic games, very nice,  but I suck at playing them, exactly as Moto writes - before I even figure out what to do I'm already dead.

AB3D though is absolutely awesome, despite the grainy graphics I think it's still the best Amiga FPS by far. TKG I haven't played much, because it crawls even on 060.

Did you ever try the TKGTurbo patch on 060? Made a noticeable difference on my 040.

Glad it's not just me :lol:

@ Karlos: I've only played the WHDload version, I don't know if any patches were applied to that one or not. Anyway thanks for the tip, I will look into it.

@ moto: Oh, it's definitely not only you, I'm impossible in these classic hardcore games

Speaking of Alien Breed, you all seen the new PC Alien Breed games (1,2, & 3) on Steam? I tried the demo for Alien Breed 3 and was pleasantly surprised. It is a value priced game, $7.99 when I last checked. I'll probably buy it.

I was able to run my own mod on it and that was quite heavy going.

AB and Tower Assault, Great games, very Atmospheric with fantastic music/sounds effects.

Nice little remix of the title music to AB can be found at http://amigaremix.com/remixes/search/alien%20breed

Lots of other music remixes to be found on that site also of well known classic Amiga titles, some of which are truly awesome if you dig deep.

It's a shame you can't train them to be a bit easier without actually cheating :-/

so which one do you guys want to play together first?

Lets get something going
I dont have the equipment atm to really do any sort of "take pictures as I play" thing but a few of us playing the game at the same time and talking about it would be rad.


For some reason, the copy of tower assault you can get from the dream17 site seems to always crash after a few levels, so I'd rather avoid that one for the moment.
