Correction, I would NOT search for them at work (amiga emulators I mean). NOT.

Moonstone would work well as a remake, let's have it!

I'd love to see some co-op old skool RPGs redone too.

This kinda thing is why anyone more than a couple of years younger than me makes me feel old. I'm 26 and I have the same fond memories of Alien Breed on the Amiga as the 30-somethings. I was definitely at the bottom end of my generation.

Looks really good actually.

With this and zombie apocalypse, I'm finally getting interested in live arcade.

Cheers dude, any you recommend (for when I get home of course!) as I do find UAE a tad fiddly so I'm all for something better/easier.

Try this site, it has two amiga emulators and links to other amiga sites. Hopefully you'll be able to find something there.

Nice one fella, I'll have a look although UAE gets a better rating so maybe I just need to learn how to use it properly! :)

Does anyone know if this will have a story mode?

I know it's gonna be an aliens knock off, and I'm not expecting shakespear, but seeing as avp isn't out till next year, I'm hoping to get something similar before then which might as well be an aliens branded game.

Fap shows his age! Did Gauntlet need a story? ;)

Yeah it's got a story - Storm in shoot anything that moves, find the key, access Intex. Repeat on the next level.

Fucking bliss!

Edit - Christ how could I spell Gauntlet wrong!

I'm afraid I never had an amiga- I knew of alien breed, but never played it sadly.

Hehe. Yeah. Team 17 games are like christmas, easter and birthday all rolled into one :)
And I still have my old A500. Maybe it's time to dust off my floppies and play some classics.

This is off topic.
I looked at this page of discussion thread and noticed that someone gave -2 marks to almost everyone. Is it sabotage of EA, designed to remove everyone enjoying team 17 games (and their remakes)? ;)

"No, no... MOONSTONE remake next! I've been praying for years. "

Oh hell yes - Moonstone, Alien Breed, Cannon Fodder, Sensible Soccer, Worms were some of the best tings that happened in my gamers life :)

alien breed was sweet indeed. I remember looking at the screens in all the magazines (had a 64 at the time) and was drooling all over it. only ended up playing it on the A1200 I got a few years later. good stuff. quite glad live and psn exist, it makes devs create 2D games again.

Going to get the CD32 out of the box and play AB II Tower Assualt.

/also, are there some miffed Atari owners marking down all these comments? Or is it some pre-pubescent failure who doesn't understand how good these games can be? Weirdest comment marking I have ever seen... got to love EG readers. :)

It's like a digg down comment thread.... except without the impressive minus numbers.

Hurray for MOONSTONE.

Now that game had gore galore. Not like those random red bloodspatters of God of War or other games. Lovingly hand-created fountains of red gushing blood for every animation.

Also a definite YESSS, for any Chaos Engine twin stick shooter remake.

btw, where is TURRICAN HD?

Never played AB the original - is this just a shooter ?...hope it has sense of atmosphere with adventure, rpg and puzzles and not an constant stream of aliens to shoot (that will get boring)!

Mainly a balls out shooter with a tense atmosphere.

I hope there is a choice of control methods. I looks like a prime candidate for the usual twin stick controls like Geo Wars but a more traditional directional method like the original would make me even happier.

Controls are a kind of mix of the two. It's not a robotron clone :)

@ spadge

Thankyou for including 3 difficulty levels, as I found Tower Assault lots of fun but i never got past the first few levels playing solo.
Please also assure us that accidentally closing the wrong fire door will not prevent you from escaping when the level self destructs? Or that you can re-open the firedoors maybe?

But otherwise this is a certain purchase for me for XBLA online co-op fun.
