Just had a small run (yet), but it looks wonderful...

This looks absolutely fantastic! If I’m being nit-picky, there’s a couple of things I’d change and that’s only because I’m a massive Alien/Aliens nerd and totally jealous.

Yes, looks bloody superb!
Will give it a go at lunchtime (if I can download it

)

Your comment is rude and unnecessary.

It's not André's blog. It's one of the main portuguese website news dedicated to the ZX Spectrum and it has a small team behind it, with André at the helm. It's well known by many people here. If you don't like it, you can just ignore it..

Spectrum Computing is also very well known to many people...
So, why we cant get a damn download link here?
Or SC is used just as a advertising board for another site.

Pegaz, perhaps because Planeta does not have the permission to host that particular game?
Nevertheless why you're so hostile with my comment? Or with Planeta Sinclair?

Geezz Andre.. some people are so nervous here. It's not like Planeta Sinclair is some kind of obscure website. It is another community effort from Portugal. It's kinda sad to see some unfair observations here...

They didn´t understand yet that uploading a game without being allowed is a crime...

Nobody is hostiled, just curious...
If the game is not commercial, I really do not understand why I have to register somewhere else to download a free game?
Did Sanchez forbid, posting download links to other Spectrum sites?

Andre Leao · Post by **Andre Leao** » Thu Feb 28, 2019 6:43 pm

"Nobody is hostiled"

Read what you´ve posted.

"If the game is not commercial"

If you´ve followed the other link I posted, you would see that the game could be for commercial release in the future

"I really do not understand why I have to register somewhere else to download a free game?"

Because it is just free for ZX-DEV forum users, until Sanchez decides in contrary,

"Did Sanchez forbid, posting download links to other Spectrum sites?"

You´re not talking about my link, are you? It is his link and his site...

It's not "somewhere else", it's the official forum for zx-dev-remake competition where entries are hosted there..

I had to sign up to SC too when I moved on from WoS..

Andre Leao · Post by **Andre Leao** » Thu Feb 28, 2019 6:47 pm

Anyway, am I forcing you to register? Just forget the game even exists, and move along...

That's the answer I've been looking for.
Thank you.

Really?
Do you need to sign up to SC, every time when you downloaded something?

An official boardroom for a retro competition event is certainly not the same as a Spectrum Computing, or a WoS for that matter.

Secondly, I don't like to waste my time arguing just for sake of it..

I am the organiser of the ZX Dev and the forums of the ZX Dev. The thing is thatto download the files from the forum you have to be registered and this is something I did not do on purpose or I chose, this is something that can´t be changed in the forums, as far as I know.

There are no bad intentions from nobody here, most of it depends on Sanchez, if he decides to put the game for download somewhere else he is totally free to do so

Kweepa · Post by **Kweepa** » Thu Feb 28, 2019 8:50 pm

I understand the frustration with having to jump through hoops to play the game...
I would recommend posting the link to the ZX-Dev boards directly, rather than a link to a foreign language site that links to the download on another site. Even then, I had to log into the ZX-Dev board to get permission to download the game. Which was made more difficult since I first had to reset the password for an old proboards account (used for a temp WOS board).
It does seem like hijacking the link to get clicks.
Here's the original announcement.
http://zx-dev-mia-remakes.proboards.com ... -neoplasma
If you are the organizer and fine with the game being uploaded elsewhere, then great.

What Ralf said!

People posting the latest releases on the forum, wherever it links to, is very helpful. It's also good for each game to have its own thread like this, so we can discuss them. Your posts really help me to keep on top of the brand new software list—please don't stop Andre

And going back to the game...

I've been playing it just now. Top stuff! I'll try to write more later as today I just gave it a short test.

Just be careful to redefine the keys wisely. Apart from directions you use buttons for jump, fire and grenade. It's quite a lot and if you choose some random keys, the game will be uncomfortable to play.

Ralf, sent you a PM about Larry. Somehow it gets stuck on my outbox...

As a fan of the Alien(s) franchise I had to give this a go. Took me just under an hour to complete and enjoyed it immensely. The graphics and sounds are drenched in a thick and brooding atmosphere that suits the source material perfectly. I really liked the exploratory nature of the gameplay and it controlled great for the most part, for some reason it seemed to drop my jump inputs at certain points when platforming was needed. Other than that it's a stellar production, great job guys!

Ersh · Post by **Ersh** » Sat Mar 02, 2019 11:00 am

Had a second playthrough today to get the other ending, shaved of 10 minutes from my previous run. I noticed that the 'dropping of jump inputs' I mentioned in my previous post only happens inside the cargo area where the Alien nest is (lots of goo on the floor). This led me to believe it's intentional, I stood still and simply pressed the key several times until Ashley actually jumped (freeing her from the goo) before making any crucial jumps to continue. Just a tip!

Fantastic game, graphics and music are amazing as expected. I like the sound effects, in particular the gun feels really satisfying to fire. Although with the great weapons it would have been nice to see a bit more varied combat besides the two enemy types that are in the game.

I only completed the bad ending so far, but my one complaint with this game is all the backtracking. It wasn't so bad in Castlevania because you were fighting enemies and collecting coins, but here the enemies don't respawn, so all the extra running around you have to do every time you die seems slightly pointless. One checkpoint in particular was placed just before a long tunnel that you had to slowly crawl through every time to get back to where you were. Anyway, that's just my mild complaint for an otherwise great game and I'll probably be replaying it to get the other ending.
