Alien Breed?
Storm 94 is a shooter developed in STOS by Marcus Platt / Fugitive Freelancers in 1994 for the Atari STe. It's based on the alien theme with a style reminiscent of Alien Blast and Alien Thing and released by LAPD.
Like other similarly inspired games, we explore a spaceship whilst suffering an onslaught from the ravenous alien baddies. These are (of course!) relentless, so shoot first and never bother asking silly questions! Ammo, health and security keys are littered throughout the levels but if you find yourself needing extra, they can be purchased from the computer terminals. Our job is to find key cards to operate the airlock, allowing us to escape.
My only quibble is the time limit which is way too short!! If you notice the screen turning red, you're near death!! This game doesn't need a timer whatsoever and ...umm... spoils itself somewhat. I hope somebody like PP gets a hold of this game and adapts/removes its timer. Then I should be able to see more of the game.

I liked Storm '94, its action and strategic elements are superb. Sadly, I wasn't able to get far because of its timer. A great shooter that could easily have been 10x better without a timer. We need this hacked!
