Even worse, on some of the later levels, you’re in a race against time when you have to set explosives on certain parts of the station and then get to the lift to the next floor before the timer runs out. That may sound easy enough but with tight corridors, you’ll need all the help you can get when you are surrounded by a swarm of aliens all after your blood. Help is at hand as you can log onto a computer terminal to buy extra keys if you can’t find any, restore your health, get extra ammo or buy more powerful weapons to help you along the way. Some parts of the levels are locked off so you will need to collect keys to open doors and you need to watch out as you have a limited amount of ammunition…
Unashamadly based on the Aliens movies, it managed to capture the tense atmosphere of the movies superbly and put the player in the role of Commander Johnson, who been sent on a mission with his partner Stone, to investigate an Earth outpost that has gone mysteriously quiet… and discovers an alien infestation…įor those of you not familiar with the original, it’s a top-view shooter, and you’ve basically got to explore each level either avoiding contact with the aliens (or shooting them with whatever weapons you happen to have on hand), finding your way to the lifts on each level to explore the station or follow set missions on each level, picking up cash and health along the way.
Released originally back in 1991 for the Commodore Amiga by Team 17, this top-down shooter was an immediate smash hit and quickly became one of the all-time classic games on the format and it wasn’t hard to see why.
