About sums it up. A multiplayer team-based (4 players max) version would kick some serious booty.

Hmmm nice polished gauntlet/eagles nest clone.....first one was good but it was a long time ago(1991/92) have to see if this is any good

Fond memories of this - I think it was around '92 or '93 so yes definitely have a few more grey hairs now than back then.

ISTR it was a pretty tough game though, after the fourth level or thereabouts had to enable the odd cheat to make progress.

Looking forward to this on the PC, hopefully the start of some more Amiga remakes!

Alien Breed was pure awesome, remember rocking it 2 player on the Amiga 600, was good times.

Me to, just goes to show how good the game play was and not just depending on fancy graphics etc.

Sensible soccer being another one of my favourites

Best news I've heard all day

Alien breed was brilliant.

... I still remember the cheat codes!

Probably not all of them. But I was young, and the idea of someone making a computer game and having a load of swear words as the cheat codes really amused me at that age!

Speaking of youth and team17 games... One time when I was in junior school, after playing project-X the night before, in the middle of class I loudly exclaimed "Select now for farts", then proceeded to let rip, before saying "Farts, armed". Yeah, I got sent to stand under the 'naughty clock' until lunch.

This thread has brought back some pleasant memories
