Игра моего веселого детства))) Лет 7-8 было мне и одним обычным днём на бабушкином компудакторе я обнаружил это чудо-юдо))) Бабуля моя специально именно для меня скачала эту крутую игру, видимо чтобы скучно не было мне, пока просиживаю свои булки у нее))) Дни на пролёт в нее задротил, ни разу не наскучивала она мне, даже не смотря на ее довольно простую идею))) Вот это конечно времена были, скучаю по ним(((

Alien Shooter - A Fun and Nostalgic Classic Alien Shooter is an action game I discovered thanks to a CD my dad bought years ago, back when I was still using Windows XP. It's honestly a pretty good game. You go through different levels fighting huge numbers of aliens, and somehow it never gets boring for me. I even try to speedrun it sometimes when I want an extra challenge. I know the game from beginning to end...
I've never played Alient Shooter before and for today's user feel really cool. Everybody should at least try 8/10
