Que de souvenirs ! J'ai eu la chance de travailler deux années chez Cryo sur ce jeux. C'est vraiment cool de revoir les images et animations car il ne me reste rien suite à un cambriolage dans mon ancienne maison... Merci Nikkoid pour cette vidéo ;-)
Do you have any gameplay videos of this? I've always wanted to see more of this game, but this is the first time I could get a good look. Love old Alen games.
I still have the CDs for this game, but I've never gotten it to run for very long. I bought it new for Windows 95 back in the day, but it crashed every time I tried to leave the ship at the start - even after doing everything aboard. Nowadays, the CDs won't run at ALL on newer machines with XP or Windows 7. I sure would love to see someone play through this, so I hope you still wind up doing that run-through. :)
I think I'm the only one that buyed that game in Spain (no wonder because it wasn't translated to Spanish). The store seller didn't even know where the game box was and I was able to find it at some corner. It was a little buggy but I liked it.
... , Et surtout Heriksens les aliens n'ont jamais produit un idiot comme toi.
i have the CD1 downloaded on LTF; french version, the problem is after to pose on planet, im not able to talk to captain ship, its bug game on real dos, on dosbox, ... On all my computers. In some moments, im teleported to Mguiness Room for any reason. I have a corupted version ?
Seems the developers of the game had legal issues with FOX regarding this.
They got the rights from Norma Comics, which is the company which released the well known comic books in Spain (Thats why they called it "a comic book")
FOX had the great idea of ordering a recall of all the copies of this, therefore it was being sold for only a couple of months.
Maybe Norma didnt had the right to resell the license, or they used something not covered with that license.
Man this takes me back! Still recall being huddled with my mates around a 15inch screen scared shitless as we played this and tried to remember the correct way to spell MYRMMIDON on the synthetic alien bit so that it wouldn't come out and kill us straight off! A great game and unique given that since then all Aliens frnachise games have been shoot em ups or RPG (shit). Great production guys, I congratulate you!
The one with eyes is s synthetic Alien. It was built by the scientists to observe the Aliens. At one point in the game in order to enter into the hive without being killed, you need to use this synth Alien to 'protect' you... you will go into the hive and find the main Scientist how is hiding in his office protected by a glass window with a view right into the hive. He will menace you with a gun and accidentally fire to the window, with the consequences you can imagine!
@nikkoid four months on, the aliens page referred to in the video is not up, and no release? Come on guy dont hold out on us! Lol, Im just kidding, take your time.
