Hi,
New member here, obviously. I've always been a fan of the original games, I stopped playing after AE. I initially made an account here because I wanted to check out that -ddcheat thing for AO. Anyway, I have a more interesting question that I've been thinking of.
So I stopped playing AO/AE when I was eight or however old I was. It was a great game, fun, creepy for a little kid, etc etc... Just recently, well, several years ago, I played Half Life 2 and made an interesting observation.
Don't the Antlions and Antlion guards look extremely similar to Paramites and Scrabs? I never considered checking out the developers of the game or whatnot but personally I believe that the aliens all look the same!
Pictures for people not wanting to search google. Needless to say, these are from Half Life 2.
Antlion
Antlion Guard
Do I really need to name these?
That's about it!
Edit: Well, after closer inspection I realized that the Scrab's larger "lip" is under while the Antlion guard's is on top. The Antlion also flies, but I guess that would yield some tricky gameplay if the Paramites could do that in AE/AO.
