There was a time when I would have loved a game like this but I've been playing this on an emulator, and the gameplay, alas, is pretty shallow. Wander through the maze, shoot the aliens -- which are pretty dumb and slow moving and just wander into your line of fire, pick up stuff, press a button. It's the "Doom" formula except the more primitive graphics highlight the dullness of the formula. I'd rather play "Albion" in this style which has RPG elements.
@monkeydust100 Why? It's a fantastic modern update on Team 17's classic...it's still the same team making the games, something that is VERY rare nowadays. Everyone that loves the originals should support Team 17 and purchase them for whatever machine they have, as there is now versions available on both the PS3 and the Xbox 360. I think the new games are superb, ace graphics, great gameplay, and reasonably priced too...what's wrong with that? Answer...nothing!
I have my A1200 and I played AB today. Emulation sucks compared to the real stuff. AB is one of the best survival horror games ever created. You should rather avoid enemies than kill them. Shoot them when you have to pass by. Today's AB games for X-Box are not the same...
To all the morons who say that this game is rubbish - you did not grow up in the era of classic gaming. Old school games such as Duke Nukem, Halloween Harry, Cosmos Cosmic Adventure, Jetpack and Raptor.
You cannot repeat the style that these old games had and they have now pathed the way for games that we play today. Stick to your Xbox's and PS3's no one wants to hear you trash talk a classic game
I played most of those back in the day and that doesn't really change the fact that they're garbage. The titles you list (not Apogee's oldest like Kroz; Duke Nukem is a new idea) often aped Japanese arcade titles but lacked the gameplay (Raptor, Stryker). Jetpack was a good puzzle / action title.
All the guy is doing is running around a maze and occasionally stopping to shoot an alien lost in the maze. Where's the challenge and gameplay? I'd rather be playing Captain Comic...
It's all relative though isn't it? Yes these games may look like poo now but, let's be honest, back then they were beyond Groovy! Do you remember the thrill of watching that bloody ship take off in "Jetpac"? Remember "clocking" pacman/space Invaders/Asteroids?
People today have no idea what "gaming" is - it isn't who has the best "epix" - it isn't who has the biggest gayscore or the most acheivements.
In fact - if I have to explain to you what gaming is - you are already lost.
@CaylaBorden It's funny because me and you are the same age and grew up in this era where as that kid is 14 and dosn't have any respect for classic games that set benchmarks for todays games.
Infact he wasn't even born lol
He missed the days when games were about enjoyment with the megadrive,snes and amiga.
Just one anoyin but on this game is on Deck 8 there is 2 wall bugs that you can not get past you have to use the walk through wall cheat unless the retail version hasnt got it and its only the .ADF rips that have it that are on the net? Anyone know anything about this
I remeber I used to play this game on my Amiga 1200 about 15 years ago.
Especially the sounds bring back memories that I hadn't had since I played this game.
And the "movie" of him going down on the elevator / lift was just great (and on 2-player they would be standing with their backs against each other). THX for the upload!
Yeah it's called Alien Breed Evolution: Episode 1. They (Team17) said they are making a new trilogy out of it, so there should be two more episodes. They completely revamped the graphics and released it on Xbox Live Arcade. It has local and online co-op as well. It's an awesome remake I'm happy to report. If you liked the original series then definitely get it.
just think in another 20 years, how games like left for dead and call of duty modern warefare 2 will have that 'classic' feel to them, whilst we play somthing incredibly more real
Moonstone is scary if youre young enough trust me :) i recall mass horror in swamp area where they those things just jumped up and took me down instantly, while i almost threw my joystick away and fell off the chair, or while i was hung in a noose covered in blood blinking. Yeap it was scary alright, but FUN just like this series of games.
Are we talking about the same game here? Moonstone? The one where you were a big badass knight with a sword slashing up wave after wave of enemies? How in the name of Rosie's Buffet would anyone ever find that scary? The game was almost funny as I remember it.
This game is being re-made with the unreal engine 3 and then released as a download on the 360 :) never played it b4 but looks kwl, reminds me of gauntlet on the nez (which i downloaded on my 360) :)
What is the title of an Amiga 500 game that looked like Alien Breed. When the character would pick up items it would say "Aha". You would also go outside and drive a car. I recall one of the opening images of the game displaying a car equipped with some sort of spikes...
i loved this game,and the amiga 500, top consule,90's classic

If i was to say my first one it was a BBC :D
1992 was a good year or at least the early 90s for good simply games.
Another World 1991, Flashback 1992,Cannon Fodder 1993 etc etc
Games that any 14yr old will never appreciate now.

Now I wonder why they didn't include the original too. Lazy programmers!

Very true. That would have made the game a 10 in my book. Maybe they'll add the original in with ep 2 or 3, or maybe in a dlc.

Top 3 scariest games ever:
1. Moonstone (Amiga)
2. Alien Breed SE (Amiga)
3. Resident Evil (PS)
Hopefully Worms on iPhone sells well so Team 17 considers a releases of Alien Breed SE to the iPhone.
A 100% port of this classic game (including the scary sound effects) would really rock.
If they also manage to throw in a web based level creator/editor (like Labyrinth o iPhone) I'll worship Team 17 for ever :)
