Also, be sure to run Alien
Attack IV only in a Windows 95 DOS box.
Alien
Attack IV is a two-dimensional scroller.
It functions much like most other 2D scrollers. Various types of
enemies approach you from the top of the screen, and it is your task to
destroy them. There are many traits which distinguish Alien
Attack IV from all the rest of those 2D scrollers
out there:
Fully customizable
game. Level files and game data files can be tailored to the user's
interests. For example, if you grew frustrated at the difficulty
of a level, you could easily modify the costs of high-tech weapons and
the hitpoints of enemy ships. Of course, this allows cheating, but
everybody knows that cheating is no fun. So, cheat if you must, but
you probably won't get any enjoyment out of this game then.
Numerous levels...
and level creation. Alien Attack IV allows
you to create custom levels. Just read the docs for more details.
They are in MS Word format.

Alien
Attack IV is composed of two files, which
are both self-extracting archives. Get them below.
Get the first
file, the game file here. [Last
update=5/25/98 (7:39 PM): Potential bug eradicated.]
Get the second
file, the sound file here. [Last
update=5/9/98]
This will probably
be the end of the line for Alien Attack IV.
However, I intentionally made it easy to customize so that you will never
have a lack of new levels for this game. If you need more levels,
then just make them!
Also, if I
have extra time, I may just draw up some new level .MOD and .GPH files
for fun... so that new levels can easily be created.. and with new types
of enemies/terrain.
I will be away
at MOP from
early June to early July, so don't expect too much to happen during that
time.
