Alien Breed 3D II The Killing Grounds on Commodore Amiga 1200 vintage computer.

http://www.retrogamingcollector.com ----------------

Alien Breed 3D II - The Killing Grounds by Team 17 on a 68060 expanded Commodore Amiga 1200 vintage computer.
This is using the turbo patch available on Aminet, to supposedly boost the framerate, though I can't say that I notice a difference.
Team 17 introduced a bug at the last minute, while adding a new menu system, which prevents the game from launcing via Workbench. You have to open a Shell and use Amiga DOS commands to run the game.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's simply a quick demonstration of the game so that anyone not familiar with these old games can see what it looks like.
It's also here so that I can embed it, along with most of the games in my collection, on my website (see link above).

lol my 68060 card cost me £600 - having just recently bought a GTX 570 for less than £250 the memories watching this are making me wince inside :p

After watching a m8 play Doom on his PC, the Amiga 1200 went straight in the cupboard and only came out again 8 years later, to be dropped in the bin :D

@SpacialKatana 68060 cards fetch £600 on ebay these days, so it would have been worth keeping :)

@Fwjchimx  Do grow up.

Used to love team 17 & the Alien Breed games.Loved to have played this version but having seen the video & played the excellent Doom i kinda lost the urge.

Do not think the origiinal Alien Breed games was as good as The Chaos Engine though.

The best shoot em up game i have ever played (including on the P.C.)is Banshee.

A lot of fond memories.

I have many Amiga computers, one is with ppc, mediator, 128MB, voodoo3, TV card, SB.

Very expensive hardware that couldn't compeet pc hardware back then.

Commodore lost the battle by not spending money to the machines and hitting Atari...

I felt bad selling my beloved A500 with 1gb and 20gb harddrive, but after seeing Wolfenstien 3d, Star Control II and Wing Commander on a 386 that cost the same, it was bye-bye time. A crying shame that Commodore fell apart. I was able to find another 500 years later, but the magic was gone. :(

@SteveBenway Doh! /facepalm

Ahh this brings back memories,btw the amiga wasnt dead when this was released but the damage had already been done,as far as graphics go,it was way ahead of doom,the game ran a hell of a lot better on my amiga 1200 with 6mb ram 060 upgrade,this version looks pixalated like the original doom

I never got to play this game, but I did love the original Alien Breed 3D, it was great when you got a headshot and brains would slide down the wall

@devlinsakey actually ab3d and ab3d ii featured 3d scenery. you could have multiple floors, one on top of another. all floors were flat and even though. certain enemies were textured polygons. what these games had and others didnt at that time was the transparent, rippling water that actually distorted the image and unusual ai - baddies were roaming free the entire level in search for you rather than having fixed routes. i recommend checking out the cd32 soundtrack :)
