i know.. but in this dos version it doesn't work. neither ctrl, alt, nor space

It works for me, but we probably have a different version, we have a remake on AB that has not much to do with the original, so we can't be of much help.

this is weird o_O
i could have sworn this game was not protected like a few days ago

i downloaded it from here!
why is it protected now?

[The Fifth Horseman]

Because it's a Team17 game.

Actually it wasn't protected because we were offering a freeware remake, don't ask me why though.

.. i'm pretty sure the thing i've downloaded was the dos version a couple of days ago here

[Dave]

That's not possible , the version on FTP is the freeware remake, you can verify it yourself. Also I'm sure because I prepared the Alien Breed video for youtube at February (the archive was downloaded from here a couple of years ago) and reported that we were offering the freeware game to TotalAnarchy who removed the download and added the link into review.

And into updaters forums:

But I don't know who substituted the original with the remake and when.

i was probably drunk or something and googled it up on a random abandonware site then

I am the guest who posted around a month ago, and stated that I couldn't buy weapons in the PC version. Anyway, I was able to get a copy of Alien Breed SE for the Amiga going, and it's the same game (I'm guessing the people who ported AB to DOS ported the Special Edition rather than the original). The graphics and sound are clearly better, but it's also a lot harder. The aliens move much faster than in the DOS port. So far, I'm very pleased.
