MUTANT ALIENS! https://github.com/essarrdee/mutantaliens http://roguebasin.com/index.php/Mutant%20Aliens! Direct download: http://songseed.org/srd/mutantaliens_update3.zip To run on Windows, run mutantaliens.exe To build and run on UNIX-like systems, type: make ./mutantaliens If it complains about something to do with "ESC", try: make esc_ok ./mutantaliens Mutant Aliens! requires a curses library, so you might need to try something along the lines of sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev And if you're using Ubuntu and have never compiled something before, you will probably need to try sudo apt-get install build-essential If there is a crash or some unpleasant behaviour or non-compilation, please email me about it, preferably with a screenshot and/or a way to reproduce it. In this game, your SHIP gets a bit confused about some radio TRANSMISSIONS, lands you on an unexplored planet, opens the doors, and refuses to shut them. Your only option, of course, is to pick up your RADIO, GUNS, EXPLOSIVES, and miscellaneous DEVICES, and go DESTROY the transmitter. Hopefully your ship will let you CLOSE THE DOORS and get to your INTENDED destination once you've accomplished that. Of course, this being an unexplored planet, it's full of ALIEN MONSTERS that want to claw out your SPLEEN and eat it. Hence all the firearms. 0 is the lowest difficulty, and is a bit too easy. 9 is the hardest difficulty, and it might be winnable! 4 or 5 is supposed to be the standard difficulty.
