Game: Alien Syndrome
Released: 1988
Status: Did not beat it.
Rating: 6/10
It's not too strange that while playing through games alphabetically, two games back to back are about aliens. It is a little strange that the objective of both games is to save all the prisoners before time runs out. Though I have to say this is a vastly superior game to Alien 3, yet it still has it's flaws. The game is played from a top down perspective and seems like a predecessor to games like Smash TV. You can pick up different types of weapons which have varying degrees of usefulness. After saving all of the prisoners in a level, you are pitted against a boss alien. It's fun, but sometimes you can't move fast enough to get away from all of the chaos, giving the feeling of cheap deaths sometimes. With a little more time and energy, this could have been a very cool game, as it stands it is merely mediocre.
