I would love to see a clone of Alien X (originally in Shockwave), it is kind of like Halo meets Marathon meets Doom/Duke Nukem.

Check it out if you haven't played it:

*edit* I know I didn't ask for a port.

That im not sure of Zion, that's why I only asked for a clone, if possible. I haven't had a chance to look for a source, kinda still at work. I was playing around and found the game again after forgetting the name a year or 2 ago.

Zion, I never found a source. No Source = No Port. If you want to close it you can. I'd still like to see a clone of it though, maybe a Quake 1 mod or Doom mod??

Reminds me of Halo...

You could probably find the source if you emailed the developer who made it.

True, I never thought of that. Thanks Ssaxdude. I'll toss them an email shortly.

*edit* I've sent them an email. Now the waiting game begins...

If it is in shockwave, it can't really be ported.

But I bet a clone could be made. It was originally supposed to be a flash game but was ported to shockwave. I didn't specifically ask for a port since I could not find a source, but I did ask for a clone. I'll do a little more digging when I get home.

*edit* still waiting for a response from 3dgroove.com...

So what are you going to do with the 'source' that you are asking for?
