Retro Gaming Australia

Forget that Colonial Marines bullshit and play a real Aliens game.

Alien Resurrection was a shit movie, and surprise – a shit game too.

We’re polite people here at Retro Gaming Australia, so we’ll sum up Alien 3 by saying that it wasn’t exactly what people wanted in a follow up to one of the most influential action movies of the last 50 years. This left the companies that licensed the rights to make video games in a bit of a pickle, since the whole “no weapons” thing in the film kind of screwed up their plans. So they just threw weapons in anyway, and everyone rejoiced. While Probe Software handled most of the Acclaim published versions of the game they vary wildly based on the system, but they’re all generally quite good.

One of the scant handful of the Jaguar’s must-haves.

The Jaguar version of Alien vs. Predator was the first video game based on the popular crossover series. It’s a tense corridor shooter, borrowing a lot from other shooters available at the time, but adding a thick layer of atmosphere from the Alien movies.
