Which was your fave of the series?
Each installment has its beauty. "Alien Breed" has a great atmosphere but it was too buggy and sometimes too difficult but beatable. When you managed to do it, you came to the conclusion that it was too short. The player needed something more and there wasn't.
"Special Edition 1992" enhances the game by a set of new levels and new adventure waiting for you. It is decent follow-up or rather an extra disk to the original game.
"Alien Breed 2" for me was too colourful and by that the atmosphere in it was killed. The game was a bit too artificial, though there were many good ideas which were expanded later.
"Alien Breed Tower Assault" was the best in the whole 2D series. It has a great atmosphere and what is not common, the non-linear gameplay. There were 276 routes you could take to complete the game!
"Alien Breed 3D" was also a very good game. Graphics were a bit pixelated but the game again had that something that you just did not mind the way it looked.
"Alien Breed 3D 2" by many people was laughed at. They did not like it but it was also great. A very good successor of "AB3D".
Which ones have you beaten (no cheats or trainers)?
I have beaten all the 2D "Alien Breeds" without any cheats or trainers. I could not beat 3D editions.
Fave weapons?
In 2D rebounders of course. Flame throwers were useless. 3D changed the meaning of weapons. Rockets and grenades were good for guardians and a blaster was good as a regular weapon. I missed rebounders in 3D versions.
