Alter Ego (Activision, C64/PC/Apple II, 1986) And when the face huggers leap at you it is terrifying.

Although movement is essentially limited to left and right (firing at doors lets you pass through them), the action is tense, and the importance of quick accurate aiming hints at the FPS genre to come. Players have to guide six of the film's characters through the colony base, toward the queen's lair. It's essentially a prototype first-person shooter, complete with moveable targeting reticule. Aliens: The Computer Game (Software Studios/Electric Dreams Software, C64/Spectrum, 1986)Īctivision developed a higher profile tie-in with the movie, but this version is far superior and has lasting significance in game design terms. The first-person view and smooth sensation of movement were astonishing at the time (especially considering it ran on the older 16k Spectrum), and it no doubt prepared the way for future variations on the free-roaming driving game. Written by lone coder Mervyn Estcourt (who also produced a PC remake almost 20 years later), this remarkably progressive 3D chase game gets the player to ride a futuristic motorbike through dense woodland, attempting to track down and shoot enemy riders. 3D Deathchase (Micromega, ZX Spectrum, 1983) Don't hesitate to talk with us, our team will be happy to answer you.What have I forgotten?

The option to use the original game controls will of course remain available for those who wish to play as in the original games. In order to improve the experience, we will also rework Twinsen's controls and adding new features. This means that we will faithfully rebuild both games from scratch.

Twinsen’s Little Big Adventure 1&2 Remastered are underway! A demo of Twinsen’s Little Big Adventure 1 Remastered will be available during the next Steam Neo Fest, from June 19th to 26th 2023. So we thought: why not take advantage of the months ahead to offer a remastered version of Twinsen’s Little Big Adventure 1 and 2 Classic?

We believe in the potential of the Twinsen's universe and want to keep it alive. Our studio is at a turning point: we finished the prototype, and are currently in discussion with several publishers to make the game possible. Thank you for your enthusiasm following the revelation of the concept arts for the Twinsen reboot project.
