Alien Action Dome is the result of a very stressful five months of hard work, boring drivel, drinking too much pop, staying up too late, beating each other up, and too many ideas combined into one itty bitty program. It originally started off as a test with animation it quickly grew into a full sized game worthy of Umich, Sumex and it's mirrors. (we hope)
The main purpose in Alien Action Dome is to use Glerp (awesomely huge super alien) to gather up bowls of sugar worms before a monster munches on him. If you can complete all forty levels then they will allow you to escape with your life. However, it's not as easy as it sounds. With many monsters, loads of bonusei (good stuff), and other surprises you'd be lucky to make it past level 2. Heck, we even put in cheat keys for ourselves (and if you're a lucky registerer you can also have them).
To register Alien Action Dome simply print out the registration form and fill it out. Send it to us with your address and/or e-mail address and we will immediately send you the access code to unlock the last twenty levels and cheat keys. Hey, for a measely $5 US you can't go wrong.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will it work on my Mac?
A: We have tested it on many Mac's ranging from LC III's all the way up to Power Mac 6100/66. If you range somewhere in there, have 256 colors, and at least 3 megs of RAM then it should work. It works on CPU's less than 68040 but it is quite a bit slower. To increase the speed turn off the animating bowls under options.
Q: My freind John wants a copy for his BBS can I give him one?
A: Please do if it's an unregistered version. The more the merrier. Make sure the Registration form and Read Me go along with the game.
Q: I can't get past level 1, what's up?
A: Well, you see those little bowl like things with a worm jumping? Grab those and stop grabbing Glip, he doesn't like that.
Q: Glip? Who the heck is that?
A: He's the little red guy walking aimlessly around.
Q: Will there ever be any extra versions of Alien Action Dome?
A: That depends on all of you loyal shareware fans. Being the nice people you are I'm sure that if enough of you send us that measely $5 US than there will be more versions.
Q: I just picked up some weird red shoes and flew into a silver flying dude. Why?
A: Red shoes are one of our many extras. The shoes make you move faster, glasses make you see better, clocks stop bonus time from falling, snowglerps freeze the enemy for a short time, etc. etc. (check the instruction in the game)
Q: Why do those darn Heckifweknows kill me?
A: Well, you see, it has a chance of doing good and bad things. You must decide if you wish to take a chance with it. However, the good things are really good! (Programmer) However, I seem to have really bad luck with them, such as dying. (Artist)
Q: How about them cheat keys! What are they?
A: Shame, shame. I'm sure you wouldn't feel right using them before you've registered.
