Alien Abduction was an excellent and well-priced indy Defender-clone. It was beautiful, fast-paced, tactical and addictive. It featured 30 levels, 3 gameplay modes, tons unlockable stuff and 2-player action. Even the illustrious team of PC Zone seemed to enjoy the little shmup. Sadly though, Alien Abduction the indy commercial game is no more. Not at all. It's now been released as freeware and is available (both for PC and Mac) from Pumpkin Games.Related @ Gnome's Lair: Captain Binarny, the complete 2006 AGS Awards, Free Colonization, the selected free games archive

Much more fun than the TrunkMonkey defending you from alien abduction. If you don't know what that is, Google it and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHehe... even though for a moment there I thought it was a nice old-fashioned BDSM site..
ReplyDeleteOh, and the post you proposed is next in que... Thanks again mate!
God that looks almost as good as Last Hope for Dreamcast!
ReplyDeleteALMOST as good...Almost...
one day im going to calculate how much of my life i'd have to dedicate to playing all the free content on the lair.... then sell my soul to the devil, in exchange for immortality...
ReplyDeleteWhy, I wouldn't know dear Father, would I? Still, I'll get my copy sooner or later...
ReplyDeleteUhm, Mr. Elderly, would it be possible to ask for a few extra years? Could definitely use them, y'know. Not many.. say 200?
When you say 'sooner or later' it's not like there is going to be loads of copies kicking about...
ReplyDeleteWe need to think of a plan to get a freeware 'Wii version' created...
*Scratches head...*
Nope nothing yet! Any ideas?
Oh BTW! I emailed a gushing message of appreciation to the ngdev team (in a vain attempt to get a copy of the Last Hope music CD) and they sent me a lovely reply...
No CD though *BAH!*
..i'll see what i can do... heard he's a bit difficult to deal with..... still trying to decide if immorality would be a better option.....
ReplyDeleteWhich FK does remind me I have to mail them myself. And find something interesting to ask too.... Oh dear...
ReplyDeleteNo ideas on the freeware Wii version either.
Mr. Elderly, I'm pretty sure immortality would be pretty nice really. Much better than ceizing to exist...
though spending the rest of my life immorally has much more appeal....
ReplyDeletedunno it's a toughie.....
(rubs chin....)
But what about an immoral (decadent even) immortality? Should be fun. We might even get around to doing something artful or inspired...
ReplyDelete...brilliant.. I wonder if he does a two for one deal....
ReplyDelete(grabs coat... heads off to meet Satan.... )
thanks for the insight Gnome, silly me thinking I could only have one or the other... immoral immortality is clearly the only way to go....
UHm, when will you have dear Lord Lucifer's answer Mr. Elderly?
ReplyDelete(looks dazed and confused, smell of burning hair hangs in the air....)
ReplyDelete..i've already got it.....
said he discontinued that marketing strategy 6 months ago...
...damn.... Im going to die someday...
bummer
:(
Damn!
ReplyDelete:(
Perhaps we could try someone else though.. Right? We could, couldn't we?
(dejected, with his head in his hands......)
ReplyDelete...could we? we could, couldn't we... yes we could we could try something else......
lets drink some tequila, all my best ideas come to me when im drunk....
Drink away then, as a)I'm not very keen on dying b)I scared to open those ancient necromantic tomes...
ReplyDelete(checks Gnomes list of people that bestow eternal life.....)
ReplyDelete...God looks like a likely candidate, we should offer him something though in return for the favour......
but what?
Perhaps he's interested in vintage French porn? God's go for that kind of things usually..
