On 12th May world lost a great artist as H.R.Giger (the creator of the
ultimate
space monster in movie "Alien") died at age of 74. 

"What does this has to do with Amiga gaming my good man?" you might ask.


Well, Mr Giger not only created fine art and music album covers but also
contributed
to Amiga gaming. His artwork was used in Amiga adventure game Dark Seed 
(developed by Cyberdreams in 1992). I remember the game was received
with mixed 
reviews but it is often mentioned as one of the scariest games ever
made. 

Has anyone here played the game BTW? I have only seen some reviews and
Youtube
videos of it and was wondering if it would worth tracking down.

Anyway, rest in peace H.R.Giger - I'll never forgot the day I saw
"Alien" first time in 
a dark movie theater   :)
