Alien Breed 2

Hello everyone,


is there any way to add to this game the possibility to shoot forward while walking backward like in Alien Breed Tower Assault ? This would greatly improve the gameplay IMHO.

I'll look that as soon as I can but I'm pretty sure that this would worth putting the effort also for AB2.
Thanks a lot !

Try this slave file (experimental) with Alien Breed 2 (AGA) disk image installed version

(no need to enable custom options, these are already enabled by default)

Please give me feedback after trying so we can make it official.

Passing through each other works fine, but without unlimited lives/energy it's a bit hard to say more. The start of the game really sucks...

Seems to work fine, AB2Aga new slave.
I'm still unsure strife is always the best option in all situations, also where you have to shoot monsters in all directions around you, mmh...
Maybe at least double-click fire to activate it and have both options working in game?

Thanks for testing..
You can quick release fire button to de-activate it and repress (faster than double-click to activate) or use the auto-fire button to rapidly aim at any direction..

I forgot to thanks you for this. It works perfectly. Maybe it would nice to make it as an option on boot screen on an "official" whd upgrade now.
