Anyone else...? This is probably the quietest round so far. I like the way everyone votes for this game but no-one bothers to play it

Again? You're spoiling me

It'd be nice to see some other people entering though - then again, perhaps it is because it's summer

That's because most voters have then fallen for the Team17-hype and finally realize now how overrated those games were...

I think they didn't even bother to look at the games before voting They know the name and Team 17 so they voted for it. Really strange nobody is playing these fine games

Fluffed it on level 4? (the one with the ram) are you supposed to go down that shaft once you use the key? Shouldn't have skipped the objectives screen (again) as i went to decklift 2 and bugger all happened (then level blew up)

Yupp, you must go down the ramp. There is a moving wall that had cost me one life in my last try . Maybe someone knows if you must wait a bit for a certain position of the wall, so you can get down the ramp without losing a life

If you mean the big door at the end of the shaft. It will only open a second before the crusher will hit. Stay on the right side (as it opens right to left), and walk as soon as possible onto the exit.

First time I came to that I was going crazy shooting every bullet at it.

As PD-game this would've been a great effort. But as commercial product it's just a cheek!

Got stuck in here and was unable to move after initiating the destruction sequence (8 lives left, having played for over an hour...):



I shit on Team 17.

Had the same problem (stuck in wall) in one run too. It was in level two so it wasn't that bad. It's a eal pity that it happened to you with 8 lives left after an hour of play

Indeed, a great score. The standards for this round are being set pretty high.

Thanks for the condolences.

Thank god I'm finally done with Alien Breed II. I'll now try to beat its predecessor, too.

Ah dammit john, that can't be true! Even if you hate the games you still manage to make these damn good scores
Congrats mate for this great score
Okay I will have another run in an hour and hope I can at least achieve half of your score

Thanks. Well, I don't really hate them anymore. I just find they are overrated (which holds true for every Team 17-game).

Even though I got annoyed by some bugs I still enjoy(ed) them a bit...
