| Alien Breed Tower Assault: Intro and Outro | |
|---|---|
|
For your downloading pleasure, here with permission from Martyn Brown at Team17 are the complete intro and outro movies for the classic Amiga CD³² game Alien Breed Tower Assault. Converted to MPEG-1 from the original CDXL version by XtC. [Techical Information] Though there are utilities available on Aminet to extract both sound and video from a CDXL animation, the sound data in the intro could not be extracted correctly using them. So I wrote a program in AMOS (yes, AMOS) to do the job! Here's a little overview of the story... |
| You can't start a good movie without knowing what you are watching! |
|
|
Our heroes are aboard the Dreadnought Herona on their way to the Military Research Unit on planet Azarin 2E, responding to a distress call. |
|
The crew - all dressed in standard issue green uniforms and brown hair... ...and standard issue bodies! |
|
|
[The Distress Call] Help! These creatures are bloody everywhere - they've eaten everything and nearly everyone! They've already eaten the colour! |
|
Ah, the trusty old Inter-Planetary Corps emblem. Ironically, when you travel inter-planetary with these guys, you become a corpse! |
|
|
I Want You To Join The IPC! "Travel to new and uncharted worlds, meet interesting, stimulating species and lifeforms from a variety of cultures - and kill them!" More fun than you can shake a dead xenomorph at, or my name isn't Marcus Dyson! |
| "Man! This Dyson guy can talk!" |
|
|
"I know what you mean! I think my neck has locked!" |
| "When we get back, I'm gonna kill him too!" |
|
|
Somewhere... |
| Some hair... |
|
|
Some how... |
| Someone is going to pay! |
|
|
So, belt up... |
| ...get that covered up, and... |
|
|
"Let's get it on!" or "Let's rock!" or "Somebody stop me!" |
|
And so our heroes climb into their lovely new drop ships, ready to be dropped right in it... |
|
|
The Tenacious Ten leaving the safety of the Dreadnought Herona behind them. Fools! |
|
Though the mission was critical, with the security of the Federation hanging in the balance, our heroes decided a beauty pass of the towers was in order! All five of the towers! |
|
|
Making use of the ample parking facilities, our heroes finally stop at the towers... |
|
...and are greeted by the efficient valet parking attendants. Tipping advised! (Unused image, not used in final intro.) |
