After Probe’s first take on Alien 3, things started to look up in 1993. Fans would be treated to three good Alien 3 games from three completely unrelated developers and publishers. All three fell into obscurity shortly after their release due to the terrible reputation of games licensed from film properties emboldened by the mixed reception of the Alien 3 film itself. However, over time gamers have come to appreciate the effort put into Alien 3 on the SNES, in the arcades, and on the Game Boy.

The SNES version of Alien 3 is again brought to us by a team up of LJN and Probe, but it’s a completely different beast from the title gamers were subjected to on previous systems. In an unexpected twist, both LJN and Probe redeem themselves! The look and sound of the game is a huge improvement over any previous version and much more in line with the film, and the game’s level design would also end up being a template for later licensed games by Probe and other developers like Judge Dredd, Stargate and Demolition Man. Probe’s SNES Alien 3, however, remains the most ambitious of them all. It’s notable that this game was released a year before Super Metroid, even though it has what we would refer to as light Metroidvania elements today.
