Game description
In the game you fight your way from a bird's eye view through several levels of a space station that is infested by bloodthirsty aliens . At computer terminals scattered throughout the game, you can buy new weapons or health bonuses with earned points. The atmosphere of the game is closely based on the movie Aliens - The Return . The graphics and the sound effects were very good for their time. Alien Breed was one of the first games that used or required the Amiga's memory expansion to 1 MB. In the following years several successors came on the market, including the Special Edition 92 , Alien Breed 2 , Alien Breed: Tower Assault as well as Alien Breed 3D (1995) and Alien Breed 3D 2: The Killing Grounds (1996).
Remakes
In December 2009, the title Alien Breed Evolution was released for the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade .

In June 2010, Alien Breed Evolution was released on Steam under the name Alien Breed: Impact . A publication in the PlayStation Network shop followed on September 1, 2010.
