"Heroes of Roswell" is an open-source scrolling shooter game that is available for free. It is licensed under the GPL, allowing users to modify and distribute the code.
The plot centers around a scenario in which an alien race launches an invasion after a government mistake leads to the destruction of a UFO in the Roswell Deserts during the 1950s. It is up to the player to take on the role of hero and save the day!
The game is packed with plenty of offbeat humor, exciting power ups, cinematic cut scenes, and even a cheat mode that is accessible once the game has been fully completed. However, it should be noted that this title is only compatible with SDL and is exclusively designed for Linux based systems.
Those brave enough to explore the source code should be prepared for amateur programming, as this was the developer's first game created several years ago. Any performance issues experienced while playing can similarly be attributed to the software's initial design. Additionally, it should be noted that Heroes of Roswell is no longer being actively maintained by its creator.
If you're interested in trying out this classic game, be sure to meet the following requirements: SDL software, a hardware device that is at least on par with a Pentium II, 128MB of System RAM, and a Midi player. In summary, Heroes of Roswell is a fun and quirky first attempt by a developer, that has managed to accumulate a dedicated following over the years.
