Default Alien Breed released on iPad/Phone
Hi all,

Alien Breed was released today on iOS and having purchased it this morning I can give it a big thumbs up!

Depends on what you call enhancements. Alien Breed: tower assault has an fmv intro and outro but i wouldn't call this an "enhancement". But i will take your word for it i haven't played it

Sweet. Except I don't have an iOS device. When's the Android version out?

I like the idea of using this with an iCade cabinet and iPad though.

Shame there's no local multiplayer via Bluetooth or WiFi. Also the game could do with some CRT emulation in the classic mode, it's too pixelly otherwise.

Need a part for a PC or Mac? PM me, I'll let you know if I come across it.

OS X trumps Windows on every level.

MorphOS, OS4 and Classic Amiga systems are the only ones who are real 'Amigas', not that joke AROS or Amiga Forever.

I will try it later but I think that virtual controls may be not so good.

And yesterday Pinball Fantasies was also released on IOS

That's why it needs a CRT filter as many emulators include to try and achieve an authentic look.

AFAIK, this one is the best one I have ever seen: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/...kopf/pixelart/

And, 4.99 it's 5x times more than what I normally pay for iOS games. They'll probably reduce it to 1.99 in a month or two. I can wait.
