does anyone have a link to the manual or buttons that are used in this game? On level 2 when i go through those force field/electricity doors and have no keys - I keep dying trying to get out.

[Graham Humphrey]

You can find the manual here.

He, he. In this game it is important to think two steps ahead. You can not let yourself be out of ammo and out of keys. Plan your route wisely, know you exit. This game is not so easy. It has only six levels.

Ya know I had a feeling when i did that the first time that i wouldnt be able to get back out. Great. I suck at thinking!

[john4p]

Bah, Alien Breed is utter low budget crap! 'Nuff said.

[Graham Humphrey]

Well it's better than Turrican, if nothing else

(Although in fairness, I'd say jumping out in front of a bus is more enjoyable than Turrican)

[john4p]

I strongly disagree. The Turrican-series ist the pinnacle of Amiga gaming for me. But to each his own...

[TCD]

I like both Turrican and Alien Breed
Maybe I beat john this time

Damn, my stepfather just suffered a massive heart attack today he is still alive and i am going to see him tomorrow, but this won't stop my Alien Breed attempt... It will take my mind off it anyway.

[john4p]

Sorry to read that. I hope he will soon - and fully - recover!

[Biscuit]

That's terrible news. My thoughts are with you.

[Graham Humphrey]

That's awful Blade, hope he makes a full recovery and best wishes to him and you.

[TCD]

I really hope it's not too bad and he gets well soon. Best wishes for him and you blade.

Alien Breed and Turrican are totally different games and I don't think it is wise to compare them. Alien Breed has its own atmosphere and suspense while Turrican is a pure bunch of action. Both I like but in Alien Breed I have to use my brain a lot more and that is why I prefer it. In Alien Breed there is no point in shooting furiously because pretty fast you will run out of ammo or you shoot at emergency lock and close yourself in a no-way-out chamber. Like in a real life or at the set of another Alien movie. In Turrican there is more fun in shooting everything what moves and don't get killed. Both are good but for me only one is better

Personally I like sequels to Alien Breed (AB2) less than original. They lack of this atmosphere and are slowly becoming a furious shoot'em up where you don't mind your ammo supplies or you're not afraid of being closed in seperated area...
