Language
Alien Breed is a series of top-down view shoot-em-up games across many of the Z80 calculators by James Vernon, based on the series of the same name for Amiga/PC computers by Team 17. The first 2 games in the series were written in TI-Basic, then the rest are written in assembly, introducing more features as the series progressed.
Significance
The first game in the series, simply titled "Alien Breed", was released in 1998. As of 2014, the series is still ongoing, with "Alien Breed 5" released but still having future versions developed. This makes it perhaps the longest running game series on the TI calculators.
When "Alien Breed: Tower Assault" was released in 2000, it was one of the earliest examples of smooth-scrolling on both the X and Y axis at the same time.
Many of the releases have featured in news items on ticalc.org over the years.
