Live stream and longplay of ALIENS!

[Xyphoe]

Hey guys! Tomorrow (Friday 16th June) at 10PM (UK time) I'll be live streaming on YouTube my first ever LIVE LONGPLAY of an Amstrad game!

And it's for a famous game, based on a famous movie that so far on YouTube no-one has completed and done a longplay of! I can't find any real guide for beating it either on the internet, apart from some maps. Everywhere I read of people playing this game, everyone seems to say they never beat it. So I'm proud and nervous to be attempting to beat finally once and for all...

ALIENS : THE COMPUTER GAME

And this is NOT the 'US Version', it's the 1st person perspective original release, and god damn is it TOUGH!! I have spent the last few weeks working out how to beat it, but it doesn't always go to plan so I'm quite nervous! But let's see how it goes and I'm sure we can do it!

Big thanks to NICH though for finding me an infinite ammo poke that allowed me to test a few things that would have taken many more weeks to achieve, and it helped me find a solution

So hope to see you tuning in tomorrow at 10pm (UK time)

I'll post the direct link when we're live here if I can, but you can just visit my YouTube page to see it - https://www.youtube.com/user/xyphoe

I did watch a bit of this, would struggle to play any CPC game for 2 hours though....still have no real idea how to play this game, never did even back in the day when it was cutting edge.

Well I did it!!! 

But..... it didn't go as smoothly as I hoped! 

Such bad luck on the first few runs, but it was beaten!!

Thank you to all of you who tuned in and cheered me on! Was surprised how many of you came to watch! THANK YOU! And at last, Aliens is beaten and we now have a longplay and guide up on YouTube for other fans of this game to follow

it was a great longplay, even though I only saw the last bit live, I'm hoping you'll do something like it again, and I'll try to get up earlier next time! (it was Sat morning Japan time)

I didn't see the live stream, and I only saw pieces of the video afterwards.
But I like the idea of this. It could be rather cosy to "get together" like this on an evening. Like instead of watching a movie.
The timing would have to be right though. We're short of time as it is.

It was actually! What you don't see in the video is the 'chat' that was occurring during the stream... lots of people chatting away reminiscing and discussing other games as well as Aliens. It was cool, lots of CPC fans
