    It’s a shame that such smooth controls, great audio and classic visuals were wasted on a game that is just so outdated.

    Some things get better with age, but Alien Breed is not one of them.

Running out of ammo and trying to find some in a maze that has dead ends is NOT FUN. Maybe this was fun back in the day but I did not enjoy it.… Full Review »
