hen I first head about Alien3 I was excited as a pervert in a whipped cream factory. The battle between Ripley and the alien has raged on for 14 years now. You would have thought that a software house such as Ocean or US Gold would have signed up the licence.
The only piece of software I can remember is a dreadful and very sad attempt which appeared on the good old Spectrum. Thanks to Probe software Alien3 is now on the Amiga, so sit back, absorb the atmosphere and enjoy.
It does not follow the exact plot, the reason for being that the film would not make an entertaining bit of software. As fans will know, Alien3 doesn't feature any weapons because it is set in a prison colony and that in itself would make the game a bit boring.
A second reason is the fact that Alien3 only features one alien and even a super alien wouldn't last long against Ripley. What Probe have done is added loads of weapons - pulse rifle, flame thrower, and so on - and loads of aliens. The game is actually more like the original Aliens than Alien3.
The plot is very simple indeed: the aliens have taken over the colony and turned it into a breeding ground by using the prisoners as hosts for alien eggs.
Ripley has to rescue the prisoners - by putting them out of their pain and misery - and waste all the aliens.
This is basically a simple platform and blast-'em-up but it works much better than the average simply because you can already relate to it. What Alien3 has which most do not is atmosphere - and bags of it to boot.
Ripley can flick between four sets of weapons (see below for details) but unfortunately they are all rather limited. This means you have to be careful otherwise you'll be weaponless and helpless. You can replenish your armoury if you're lucky enough to find the appropriate icons.
Alien3 is a complete and utter gore-fest with blood and, in the aliens' cases, acid flying all over the place. Graphically it is quite impressive. The main Ripley sprite actually does look like the heroine of the film, but unfortunately she could also easily be mistaken for Irish popstrel Sinead O'Connor.
The alien sprites are just as impressive, very mean and menacing. The backdrops are well drawn and add to the dark and intense atmosphere.
There is a choice to be made on the sound front between music and sound effects - you can't have both! The sound effects are fairly naff apart from a nice squishing when you blow an alien to bits. The controls are easy enough, apart from the annoying fact that you have to press the spacebar to change your weapon.
It's not original by any means, but other platformers pale in comparison thanks to the dark moody graphics that generate such a spooky atmosphere.
Alien3 is as good as the Mega Drive version and any Amiga-owning Alien fan is going to want to rush out to buy it.
I would heartily recommend it to anyone, but as it's basically a bog-standard platformer it comes down to personal preference. If you want a cutesy platform game take a peek at Superfrog, but if you want a violent, dark and moody one, then Aien3 is definitely your cup of tea. Hudson, we are leaving.
