X-pired is a AlienBreed type of game mixed 
with the classic game rock'n roll.

There is also an Editor inside the archive
if you want to create your own levels.

Note that there is 2 level paks included
so read this readme to find out how to 
activate them.

Please let me know if there is some 
problems with this release (not been tested
by others than me as everyone seems to be
away :-D).
