Abuse

Some of you may remember Abuse as a commercial game from a few years ago. It was remade by a group of people as freeware using the graphics of the original. So in all theory this is not abuse but the people who made it did an amazing job at remaking the original.

For those of you who have never played the original; Abuse is a platform game. You control the movement of your player with the keyboard and you aim your weapon using your mouse. You go around killing mutants who have been infected by some evil gene, which you happen to be immune to, and collecting power ups.

A level editor is also included for the more creative out there but for the rest of us we can just stick to the mindless killing.

If you love classic side scroller shoot em ups and Aliens (the movie) youll love this game it has great controls and graphics been awhile since i downloaded this so i have stopped playing it by now but if you havnt played it then download now

WOW! I haven't played a game quite like this before. It feels like MDK (weird characters/aliens/story), plays like Super Metroid (power-ups, weapons), and honestly looks like an Alien film. If you slapped the whole AVP label on this game and called it Alien Vs. Predator I wouldn't know the difference. The faceless character also reminds me of the Predator with his neverending arsenal of weaponry. This truly is a fun shoot-em-up action/adventure game well worth the download!

Pros:
+ Interesting Storyline
+ Neat Graphics
+ Feels and Looks Cool!
+ Save Feature

Cons:
-Looks Very Dated (Like Genesis or SNES 16-bit)
-No Eerie Music to match the story (not a big issue)
-We've all seen this kind of game before (Contra, Metroid, etc.)

Nice 'shoot-everything that moves' game, but it realy looks much better on Macintosh. Probably due to the fact that it launches in DOS.

There is a build in game editor, but I never understood it (not then, not now) but it is worth the download though, as it is small and has nice gameplay.
