1. thanks for reminding me of that i had the demo yrs ago but couldnt think what it was called

2. yes they did but before then they were involved in the Amiga classic alien breed and its sequel tower assault which were just plain and simply awsome, lots of colourful weapons, typical arcade numbers of baddies (heavily influenced in shape by Alien franchise xenomorphs) and dramatic backdrops

So yeah, excellent game for what its trying to be, a game where you kill your way through a horde of alien monstrosities. Basically Shadowgrounds in space.
