My point exactly. It's the same reason it's no longer possible to save in 
level 9 of Shades of Doom.

You have acquired the skill of Weaponry Theremin.
Your current level of mastery is 10 Apprentice.

I guess it was put there in that way to prevent cheeting. suppose someone 
would save on the verry last level and when died he would keep returning to 
it.

in an arcade game I'd say thats cheeting.

Make certain you have the latest version of Alien Outback. It has been 
updated a number of times since its original release. I have no problem 
saving games. If you choose a level to start from, you don't get to go onto 
the mother ship level. It states that clearly in the manual.

This bug is really gigantic!
You know what? IF YOU DIE IN A GAME AND YOU TRY TO  load a saved game it
does not work.
I saved a game on level1 wave3 and I died in wave4.
And I was back in the main menu and I tried loading  my  game but I heard 
a

sound telling me I cannot load a saved game.
This is really a very nasty bug.
And I found another bug.
I start  all over from level1 and I had no landers on all 5 waves and I 
was

taken straight to level2 without a bonus game
This is a nasty bug!

Hi all
I found a giant bug in  alien outback.
If you saved a game by pressing q and at a later stage you press 
escape,that

saved  game is erased.
I want to play the bonus levels.
If you select start level from the main menu,  you  CAN't play the bonus
level.
It only allows you to pick a level from level 1 to level6.
This is what happens:
at the start of wave3 level1  I press q and my  game  is saved.
So now I load that GAME from THE MAIN MENU.
IN WAVE 4 IT HAPPENS THAT A SHIP LANDED, SO NOW I CANNOT PLAY THE BONUS 
GAME

BECAUSE A SHIP HAS LANDED.
NOW I pressed escape and I tried loading my game I saved on wave3 but now 
I

hear an invalid selection sound if I press enter on load game.
This is definitely a giant bug.
Does alien outback store a saved game on my hard drive the same as g m a
games does?
If so, I can easily back up that saved game and use it when I need it.
