About Alien Alley: This is a FreeBASIC/Allegro/Win32 port/conversion of the Alien Alley game by Dave Roberts. The same game that came with the book "PC Game Programming Explorer". I bought this book a long time ago and indeed what a wonderful book it is. The original game was written in C for DOS. The conversion was not very simple though. A lot has changed in the code. You can download the modified game from the "Downloads" section. If you want to compile the code, you will need FreeBASIC and FBEdit. Notice, that the game now runs in 640x480x8 display mode.

About the developer:

• 4This is a simple game that was meant to demonstrate all the techniques that were covered in the book. It's not good as-is but with a little extra work it could be a great game. If you want a good shooter look elsewhere.
