@Lorfarius the snes version is indeed a richer graphical experience but the megadrive version is still great an interesting how they did the graphics. I value the way many megadrive games, like this one, are also on sega master system. It also allows for sms emulation on the GBA, which is nice.
I remember giving this a go on the C64; quite a nice little run-and-gun, if not as good as the Electric Dreams "Aliens" game. The MD version looks a lot more atmospheric though...
the gameboy version had the best music ever !

looks alright could be worth a pick up but the timer would bug the crap out of me.

It does make it incredibly difficult but in a way adds to the charm.

Not a clue, only have the MD one.

What C64 version like? Same sort of thing?
Lorfarius 2 years ago
Yeah, the C64 version of Alien 3 is pretty much the same format, just with more lo-fi presentation. I didn't spend a lot of time with it though...

I've seen it in everywhere from carboots, cash convertors and even a charity shop. Should be fairly cheap to pick up :)

Nice vid :-)
Looks good, if a bit frustrating! Another one to add to my wanted list I think!

Its a strange one for sure though the frustration comes more from the difficulty than bad game design. Fun game in its way.
