On the plus side is the fact that Alien Trilogy doesn't need one of today's high-spec machines to run on.Experience the ultimate in science-fiction action with the Alien Breed™ Trilogy: three arcade-shooter titles in one fantastic collection, together for the first time. Despite any good references given here it doesn't change the fact that there is very little to get excited about and it certainly won't win any awards for originality. While you will still be the victim of an ambush now and again, it does nonetheless help.Īlien Trilogy is no Doom but it is entertaining, and excellent background music gives the game a taste of the atmosphere created in the film. This alerts you of upcoming dangers by indicating the whereabouts of nearby aliens. One novel feature is your on-screen radar.

Just as in Doom there are several weapons to defend yourself with (you start off with the standard 9mm pistol) and as you explore the colony you can pick up a host of power-ups - armour, acid protection, medikits, night vision goggles, automapper etc. There are over 30 levels to complete, interspersed with some bonus-like areas. For example the image of your hand holding the gun looks not unlike that in Wolf 3D which, as everybody knows, was released not long after the PC was invented.īut after your first encounter with some of the less-than-friendly extraterrestrials which are the staple diet in this game (you also have to destroy some of The Company's soldiers), you can begin to ignore its limitations and be subtly drawn into its nightmarish world.Īlien Trilogy, as the name suggests, is broken in to three parts.

Initially Alien Trilogy sends out the wrong signals, with its below par graphics.

Doom-meets-Alien certainly sounds promising. This storyline is the backdrop for what is basically another Doom clone and if it wasn't for its connections with the brilliant film it probably wouldn't generate as much interest as it does.
