@Alien Breed / Qwak   Team 17    £25@

Team 17 will not be releasing any CD32 specific titles until they have a
suitable project to work on.  For the time being, they are concentrating
on re-releasing compilations of their existing catalogue onto CD.  This
means that you get two games for the price of one.  Not bad!!
The prices were originally set at £15 a disk, but for some reason, Team
17 have opted to add another £10 to the price.  This doesn't make the
games particularly expensive, but when you consider that the floppy
version are available as budget releases for about £10 each, things get
put into perspective.

Alien Breed Special Edition is exactly the same as the original Alien
Breed, but with more levels.  The aim of the game is to wander around
a deserted space station, and wipe out everything that moves, with the
eventual task of destroying the station, and all of it's alien
inhabitants.  Along the way, you collect money to buy bigger, and better
weapons, which believe me, you will need.  The game features fantastic
sampled speech, and is by far the better game of the compilation.

Qwak, although quite entertaining initially, is unlikely to hold your
attention for a long period of time.  The game is best on the two player
option, so get another joypad.  The object of the game is to run around
the screen and collect items and keys to allow you access to later
levels.

As with all Team 17 games, the graphics are gorgeous, as are the sounds.
Alien Breed is brilliant, and Qwak is OK, so the disk is still worth
getting despite the price.
