Alien Arena 2006 is a freeware deathmatch game with gameplay similar to Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament, all wrapped in a retro sci-fi theme.

Included are 34 total levels, 9 detailed characters, 8 weapons(each with alternate firing modes), 3 vehicles, 5 gameplay modes(DM, TDM, CTF, All Out Assault, Deathball), and much more!

Alien Arena 2006 includes six mutators(excessive, instagib, regeneration, vampire, rocket arena, and low grav), and Deathball, a mode in which you get points by capturing a ball and firing in into a goal. The game now runs on version 5.02 of the CRX engine, based on the id Software GPL source codes, and adding nextgen features such as reflective water, shaders, light bloom, improved lighting, and much more, while optimizations allow it to still run extremely fast even on modest systems. The game features colored names, an improved console, and an enhanced in-game server browser.

Vast improvements in skill level settings and bot AI make the game as much fun for the novice as the expert. A large, and ever growing community of players is always available to play or assist.
