The original Alien Breed was released in 1991 for the Commodore Amiga and later in 1993 by Micro League for MS-DOS. The game was based heavily - and unofficially - on the Alien films, specifically Aliens, and also on the 8-bit-era games Laser Squad and Paradroid and was compared to Gauntlet (1985 video game) and Alien Syndrome. The formula was simple enough. The player(s) controlled a Space Marine on an alien-infested Space Station, attempting to locate elevators leading to lower levels while battling aliens, gathering ammo and money and buying things from store terminals. The style of gameplay, i.e. rampaging from point A to B, was considered a direct precursor to the First-Person Shooter, namely Doom. It was followed by Alien Breed II: The Horror Continues in 1993, Alien Breed: Tower Assault in 1994 (the last 2D entry), Alien Breed 3D in 1995 (in conjuction with Ocean), Alien Breed 3D II: The Killing Grounds later that same year. All were highly praised. A PC/Dreamcast First-Person Shooter sequel called Alien Breed: Conflict was planned, but was eventually canceled. |
