i was just net surfing on the retro action homepage and found that Aliens has been remade.
here is the link
http://derbian.webs.com/lv-426/ (http://derbian.webs.com/lv-426/)
it looks rather good and from what i can see you just need to download and unzip it and play. does'nt look like it needs a emulator.

Yes it does when you are on Linux. ;)
Thx anyway. Will check it out.
I know this game very well.
I once recorded new musics for it. (The existing OGG are mono only in poor quality)
It will be used in next LV-426 release.
Feel free to use this patch already on your version:

Simply replace the existing OGGs with these from this archive and have fun

Ehm.. Edit: I see he already released a new version...
So I think my patch is not very useful here...
Sad: The author still used the old CPC sound. (mono, poor quality)
I made a new patch for the actual version:
http://cpc-live.com/aliens_new.rar (http://cpc-live.com/aliens_new.rar)
It replaces the CPC-music.
(You can change that in "Options" -> "Settings" -> "Enhanced music" - when you turn this off, the original CPC music is used!)
Also a nice round-based Aliens board game:

BTW what has become of your soundchip emulator http://cpc.devilmarkus.de/include.php?path=content/content.php&contentid=129 as well as the impressive remake(s) of Cauldron?
Not taken down due to nastygrams I hope?
Server is down...
I have no backup :(
