Alien Breed 2
« on: October 25, 2008, 02:53:56 PM »
Is it just me or is this game really annoying? I really want to like it, but it's just too bloody hard to be enjoyable!

You've been toying too long with your Mac,
Today's computer users/gamers are such wussies

Ah yes, the good old days, when ships were made of wood and men of iron :-P

Well, I was also playing some T-Zer0 and Rick Dangerous II and they weren't so bad, but ABII seemed ridiculously hard. I have never played it before so maybe I just need to get the hang of it.

Well, they said the same about Prince of Persia, but I think that game is really perfectly playable.
One game I thought was really hard was Cybernoid 2 (with the cool music ;-)) But then again; hey, it's a game, you should be challenged, it should be hard :-)

Prince of Persia was another one where I got to a certain point and could never get past it no matter how many times I tried. And starting from the beginning every time was so infuriating that I have up. Yes games should be hard enough to challenge you, otherwise they're no fun. But when they're so hard that you get bored, then I think they're too hard.

Eh? The hardest part was in level 8, after that, I've never had any problems with it...

I've got (or had, haven't seen them lately) most of the Alien Breed games.  As far as I remember ABII was by far the worst.  Try Tower Assault it's much better.

Cheers,
Rudi.

Can't remember whether I got that far. Which bit was it?

Worst in that it's not such a good game, or just that it's the hardest? Will give Tower Assault a try anyway - cheers!

Well, at level 7 you fall back in the lower regions of the castle.
At the beginning of level 8 you need to fight a guy who does not take the initiative to go to you, which makes it a lot harder to defeat him. At the end of that level, a mouse steps on a switch to open a door for you.

Me neither... :-(
If I replay games which seemed to me easy in the past, are quite hard now.

Sounds like a plan! However, unfortunately my other half is not interested in games :-( Though we did come home half-cut last night and have fun playing House Of The Dead on the Wii :-D

I know the bad guy you mean, but I don't remember a mouse stepping on a switch so I can't have got that far. Maybe it's time to set the A1200 up again and have another try! Did you ever complete PoP?

Play Zorro. Its always heartfilling to play it through without dying. I think my record is playing it through a dozen times without dying. Now that game had difficulty set in correct level :)

There's no info on that game on HOL :-? Mind you, it's not games in general that I find hard - I just think ABII is perversely difficult!
