- TRIVIA -

Developed by Mesa Logic for Atari (although also licensed as a Time Warner product in certain territories), Area 51 was the first game for the Cojag hardware. The 'Cojag' represents Coin-Operated Jaguar, as in the Atari console. The Jaguar hardware was adapted for use in an arcade setting, with a slightly modified board to bring it in line with the standard Atari arcade system. Since the hardware could process very large amounts of data, it was considered far cheaper to store this on an IDE hard drive, connected to the main board. The hard drive was the key to the game play's movie capability. There's about 23 minutes of video on the 1 GB hard drive. The Cojag system can support 16Bit video streams. The original Area 51 uses 1 15 Bit stream for the main video, and an additional 1 Bit stream for the Kronn Hunter palette corruption. Apparently Atari wanted the sprites in Kronn Hunter mode to change colour as the chance of them killing you increased, but this idea was abandoned. It did, however, resurface in some of the home versions.

Another interesting fact is that the software designer had the option of using either a 68010 or a MIPS R3000 as the primary CPU - making the Cojag the first 2 in 1 hardware option, although it was more of a hotswappable system than two processors in one. Indeed, later production runs of Area 51 used the R3000, for greater compatibility with "Maximum Force", the followup game.

Note : Often associated with UFO lore, Area 51 is originally the former designation by Department of Energy of a plot of land in Nevada. Sometimes referred to as Groom Lake or Dreamland, the United States government is believed to operate some sort of research and development center there (Some claim that the facility is now closed).

Rick Haynes holds the official record for this game with 2, 188, 400 points on April 10, 1999.

shit i miss this.. RELOAD RELOAD RELOAD. man that guy's voice is annoying o.O

[DevinFighter]

@Lollyferdolly I agree with you right there.

[DoctorPorkenfries]

I like how there were apparently "manyeyewitness reports" of what goes on at the "most secret military base in the world." If it were the most secret base in the world, you'd think it'd have good security.

[ryzo95]

great vid

i always wanted to know what hapened at the end

[DarkArtistKaiser]

They must think the facts on a military base that may or may not exist(Or if it does and Im not aware, isn't a alien experiment place as I figure there would be a more secretive place considering Area 51 is common knowledge), is more interesting than a good ending. You think as many open shirt girl soldiers shown, they'd do something with them.

All these years trying to beat it, and thats it?

[nicholasdoran]

if the alien is "a heavily armored" why does it die with one pistol round?

[xXMapleVodkaXx]

And the Black Guy is with you the whole time....

[MrHoppers002]

8 bullets is not enough for all them blasted aliens lol

[khanhlehuu]

@taylormason25 This is the arcade version smart one.

[taylormason25]

If this was played on the computer version which I believe it was, then you could have just right clicked to reload. It woulda saved your ass many times.
