Alien Breed

Alien Breed is the first in a series of science fiction computer games played in the form of a top-down shooter for one or two players. The game's genre is Run and gun. The game was based heavily, and unofficially, on the Alien films. Alien Breed consists of the player or players having to find the lift down to the next level, occasionally setting the self destruct sequence to blow up the level above them. The players collect or purchase a variety of weapons from the space station's computer terminals. In some versions of the game, these so called Intex terminals provide additional features such as a clone of the classic computer game Pong. In advanced levels, players are occasionally trapped in enclosed spaces with huge "boss" aliens, reminiscent of the Alien Queen.
