Alien Breed is coming to XBLA this year I believe. Don't remember the game though.

Only one I really recall is Superfrog and Project X. I even had one of those Datel things on my Amiga and ripped the music from the game and remixed it myself in Octamed

Re: Classic developers in review : Team 17 software

The third game Alien breed tower assault for me was the pinnacle of the 2d gauntletesque game and oh what an intro!
Now if they had stuck with 2d instead of trying to compete with doom via alien breed 3d and 3dII something which the amiga struggled at?
