* PasswordSave: The 1993 game provides a password at the end of each level. This may be entered onto the first intex terminal, which awards an amount of credits based on depth, and transports you to the new level once you leave the terminal. Also, the PC game can have a keybind conflict if the player chooses a fire button or quit command if the letter is also found in the password.

Enterprise didn't even exist yet when the game was made, so the reference makes no sense
* LockAndLoadMontage: In ''Tower Assault'' live action intro, our heroes are shown suiting up for battle prior to taking off. Due to various shortcomings stemming from the development team's... lack of experience when it comes to making movies (takes are a bit too long, characters' movement a bit too slow and not really spontaneous, plus the sequence itself is full of ridiculous shots like one of soldiers fixing his hair, another one tucking a pistol behind his belt -- because, apparently, [=IPC=] troops are not provided with holsters -- and another one... simply fastening said belt), the final effect is less impressive than you might expect.

* TooDumbToLive: If ''Tower Assault'' intro is to be believed, the only reason your character (and Nash, if you play in co-op with your friend) ends up as the sole survivor of the assault team is that the rest of said team have spent most of their time upon arrival just flying around titular towers and letting themselves be killed one by one by automated sentry guns like utter idiots.

Fast forward to December of 2009, with the release of the [[UsefulNotes/GameEngine Unreal 3 engine-driven]] ''Alien Breed: Evolution'' on [[Platform/XboxLive Xbox Live Arcade]], later released as ''Alien Breed: Impact'' on Platform/{{Steam}} and the Platform/PlaystationNetwork in June of 2010. This reboot of the series stars [[Literature/HeartOfDarkness Joseph Conrad]], chief engineer aboard a diplomatic ship called the Leopold. After suddenly dropping out of {{Hyperspace}}, the Leopold impacts a far larger derelict spacecraft in a decaying orbit around an uninhabited [[SingleBiomePlanet ice world]]. With most of the crew dead, it's up to Conrad to find out what went wrong and attempt to rectify the situation. Reviewers praised the game's look but complained "ItsTheSameNowItSucks," stating it was no different than its Amiga predecessors. A sequel, ''Alien Breed 2: Assault'', was released in September, followed two months later by the final part of the trilogy, ''Descent''.

* TechDemoGame: Exemplified by ''Alien Breed 3D 2: The Killing Grounds''. While the first ''Alien Breed 3D'' boasted a number of features the original ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' engine wasn't capable of (like translucent water and room-over-room), it also made a number of concessions to make it more feasable for stock Amiga 1200s (like a lower screen resolution). Meanwhile, ''The Killing Grounds'' was Creator/Team17 pulling all of the stops on crafing an engine meant to be on par with ''VideoGame/QuakeI'', with dynamic lightning, bump mapping, lightmapped sprites and weapons and larger enemies being rendered with models rather than sprites. This ended up resultinng in a game so taxing on hardware that even the beefiest Amiga at the time struggled to run it smoothly with all of the graphical settings maxed out, and it took an advent of emulation that allowed people to experience the game at much smoother framerate. The game ended up proving the superiority the IBM PC had at the time over the Amiga, as it was much easier to get ahold of the PC that could run ''Quake'' smoothly (especially after ''[=GLQuake=]'' came out).

''Alien Breed'' is a series of top-down {{Shoot Em Up}}s by Creator/Team17, perhaps better known as the creators of the ''VideoGame/{{Worms}}'' series. The original Alien Breed was released in 1991 for the Commodore Amiga and later in 1993 by MicroLeague for MS-DOS. The game was based heavily - [[{{Expy}} and unofficially]] - on the ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' films, specifically ''Film/{{Aliens}}'', and also on the 8-bit-era games ''VideoGame/LaserSquad'' and ''VideoGame/{{Paradroid}}'' and was compared to ''VideoGame/{{Gauntlet}}'' and ''VideoGame/AlienSyndrome''. The formula was simple enough. The player(s) controlled a SpaceMarine on an alien-infested SpaceStation, attempting to locate elevators leading to lower levels while battling aliens, gathering ammo and money and buying things from store terminals. The style of gameplay, i.e. rampaging from point A to B, was considered a direct precursor to the FirstPersonShooter, namely VideoGame/{{Doom}}. It was followed by ''[[NumberedSequels Alien Breed II: The Horror Continues]]'' in 1993, ''[[OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo Alien Breed: Tower Assault]]'' in 1994 (the last 2D entry), ''Alien Breed 3D'' in 1995 (in conjuction with Creator/{{Ocean}}), ''Alien Breed 3D II: The Killing Grounds'' later that same year. All were highly praised. A PC/Dreamcast FirstPersonShooter sequel called ''Alien Breed: Conflict'' was planned, but was eventually canceled.
