Hello all,New/ffirst time poster here, though I[ch8217]ve looked/dropped in many times.
Was just wondering if anyone else here is as excited as I am about the forthcoming Insectoid? Man, I have been DYING for a game like this for the Mac and just can[ch8217]t wait to pick up a copy! There is a wealth of great retro shooters for Windows (Alien Stars, the Star Defender games, and Gurdian--to name a few--come to mind). While there is some fantastic retro shooters for the OS X (Ultratron, Jets n Guns Gold, Space Tripper, Deimos Rising and Firefall (Pangea Arcade), are particular faves), I long for a good old fashioned Galaga type game like Star Defender and I know that this game is going to be just the ticket.
Ok, part two, and apologies for rambling...
Questions regarding the game for Vern, Alan Falcon and Wingy: Re: the screenshots in the previous thread [ch8220]Insectoid[ch8221]: will the backgrounds in [ch8220]insectoid.jpg[ch8221] and [ch8220]insectoid2.jpg[ch8221] be used in the game? They are sweet! Also, love the look of the some of the aliens in the somewhat later screenshot [ch8220]insectoiid001.jpg[ch8221]--will they appear in later stages?
Lastly, have you guys posted any preview video of the game anywhere?
Apolgoies to all if the the barrage of questions has been too tedious and thanks in advacne for any replies.
