[Found: Alien Breed: Tower Assault (CD32)] Please help with game name!

Hi all,

I played a game (or demo) the other night.

Admit I had too many beers & now cannot recall what it is called, and after hours of searching cannot figure out what it was.

Here is a good way to explain what I'm looking for, so if you know the name please let me know so I can find it amongst my collection!

There is an intro bit with a videophone call from some dude @ a research base saying he is in trouble. Then a military-type guy gives a speach about what the mission involves. Then there is video of people strapping on equipment, guns, etc & video intertwined with CG graphics of some sort of spaceship dogfight.

There is a guy with dreadlocks who says something like "lets do it" after he finishes strapping his gear on.

Please help with naming this game, as I really want to dig it out...but being drunk when I played it...I've got no idea what to look for

PZ.

Nope, I was playing it on my A1200 tower.

I also recall that it was on a CD, as there seemed to be drive speed issues messing up the sound, so I installed an older/slower drive at the time.

It could have been already on disc, or I burnt it to disc...very fuzzy memory of that night...I'm shocked to remember this much!

You must still be a bit drunk as you've posted this in the wrong section

It's not Alien Breed: Tower Assault by any chance?

Yep... it was actually on an Amiga Format cover CD which is how I saw it.

EDIT: And obviously it was on the CD32 version of the game as well.
