Codename Hell Squad

Why are there squares in the credit names? And why are their last names double and in brackets? Was that me? We should change that.

Missing European characters. I'm trying to fix that. The brackets show the standard English spelling of the Name.

Yes, very good game. By the time it was finally released, I'd stopped using my Amiga, so I got it off eBay a few years ago.

I have no idea what it was about, I didn't read the manual, but it's essentially a point'n'click adventure where you control 4 marines on an alien planet, or possibly it's Earth invaded by aliens, who knows, anyhoo you start off in the ubiquitous crashed spacepod and have to navigate your way through to ...I don't know, some alien laboratory or something. I never really knew who I was or where I was or where I was going etc, and amazingly that didn't detract from the gameplay.

Great graphics - rotoscoped like in Flashback, lots of on-screen animation, flexibility of movement, some tricky bits, clever re-use of items, some funny dialogue and possibly swearing - got to love a game that swears. Loads of fun. And a big squiggly pink alien thing living in the ground. And a mysterious Native American sat alone who says "I'm only here to avoid the wife". Top-notch.

I've so far only booted up the game for a quick look a couple of years ago via emulation and it definitely looked interesting. This is another one I have marked to play through properly when I get time... if that ever happens ... so many games still to play.

I should be able to start on converting your guide into a PDF sometime next week, so hopefully it will be up on the site next week.
