Alien 3
-
Version
1.0
Alien 3 is a side-scrolling game released in 1993 for
the SNES. It is different from the multi-platform
release of the same name. The game consists of six
levels loosely based on the events in Alien 3.
The game also contains elements from the film Aliens
such as the adult Alien Queen and military weaponry.
The player assumes the role of Ellen Ripley and can
use a variety of weapons and equipment including the
motion scanner, welder, pulse rifle (both bullets and
grenades), and flamethrower. Additional ammunition and
medkits are available in each level. Unlike the other
games based on the film, this one utilizes a mission
structure. After approaching one of numerous central
computer terminals, the player accepts a mission from
a list and then must perform the task described (such
as rescuing prisoners, repairing fuse boxes,
destroying alien eggs, welding doors shut, etc). Once
all missions in a level are completed, a password is
provided and the game advances to the next stage.
