''Alien Breed 3D II: The Killing Grounds'' (sometimes ''AB:TKG'' or ''TKG'') is the fifth game in Team17's ''Alien Breed'' franchise, a series of science-fiction-themed shooters largely inspired by the ''Alien'' films. It was published in 1996 by Ocean Software. Team17 had originally intended this to be its final Amiga title. Following the success of ''Worms'', Team17's first multi-format release, the company was looking to get out of the Amiga game market, which had become stagnant over the years. As it transpired, ''TKG'' was not Team17's final Amiga title''Worms: The Director's Cut'' was released the following year. ''Alien Breed 3D II'' sold 5,000 copies. Team17 made the game's source code freely available in March 1997, on the cover CD of Amiga Format magazine (issue 95 ). == Gameplay == With the success of ''Alien Breed 3D'', Team17 decided to follow it up with a sequel. This time Team17 was aiming even higher, hoping to recreate something similar to the ''Quake'' engine on an Amiga. Team17 had included two versions of the game spread over 5 disks: one with high-quality sound and textures, the other with reduced quality versions. The reduced version was supposedly able to run on a non-expanded Amiga 1200, although the game ran slowly. Their project, however, was perhaps over-ambitious. Most Amigas of the time struggled to run the game, even with upgraded RAM and accelerator cards. Even with the fastest CPU at that time (MC68060 @ 66 MHz), the game could not be played smoothly with high details in fullscreen.〔Amiga Power Issue 65, September 1996, pages 14-17〕 Most Amiga enthusiasts have only been able to play the game in recent years using emulation. Poor level design, no collision-detection with monsters, and repetitive sounds did nothing to aid the gameplay experience.〔Amiga Power Issue 65, September 1996, pages 14-17〕 An editor was shipped with the game, allowing users to create their own levels.〔Amiga Format Issue 91, December 1996, pages 90-91〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alien Breed 3D II: The Killing Grounds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
