Downloads (current version: 1.1.0)

Experimental stuff
Brave users may be interested in this:
heavyFighter.zip: a new set of images for the heavy fighter...
Maybe Alienblaster will take more steps in that direction, for now it is a certain contrast compared to the other graphics.
Installation: simply copy the .bmp-files into your alienblaster/images directory. They overwrite the previous ones. If you wonder what that creepy .xcf-file is, have a look at the GIMP (www.gimp.org). The shield still needs some polishing, if anyone comes up with a better one (or better graphics in general) - mail them!
