mate, I know the feeling; but a friend of mine at the time (Teodor), he was able to beat it. beginning to end, no saves, no save states... analogue knock-off hardware, he beat it, and I was there to witness it.
@@JulianThursday13 the way i beat the game was by first searching for the tunnels and making a map on paper with directions to exit.Ofc it took me a lot to learn the locations of prisoners and the other stuff
I was the game master of my neighbourhood. Guys used to come to me with new games and I used to play them and tell them how to finish them. But this game got the best of me....and I'm glad.
Had a friend like that in school, he finished most games before the rest of us did, and would always be telling us about it; however, I do remember that I finished River City Ransom before he did.
That soundtrack was ✅ by Jeroen Tel, one-half of Maniacs of Noise with Charles Deenen. Other composers at Probe included Stephen Collett (a.k.a. Steve Rockett), Nicholas Stroud, Matthew Furniss, Allister Brimble, Simon Robertson, Stephen Root and Andrew Brock.
Alien3 was almost an excellent platformer. It has an amazing soundtrack, moody graphics, good controls... ...and a ridiculous time limit that all but ruins the entire experience.
Man, you weren't kidding when you said the timer was unforgiving. (I haven't played it--but I watched this, so I'll take your word for it. Those time limits were just merciless. Some stages you were cutting it close in completing.)
Gameplay on the SNES version is so much better. No time limits. Bigger levels. You can choose your mission. All around a superior choice. Oh and of course six action buttons are much better than 2 action buttons.
I admire my sister because I was 10 years and she was 14 at that time and she beat this game without any trick or looking tips somewhere else... that's my frustation I couldn't lol.
Just the Tip Oh man, Hellcab :) it was one of my first too. I still do from time-to-time look for any good old 90s FMV games that I might not have played yet. Any suggestions?
I think this is mildly funny, so I'll share it: When I first played this game (well, the SNES one, at least), I only really knew the Alien movies by osmosis; what I gleaned from pop culture and references in other movies, video games, and cartoons and stuff. I didn't know many details outside of the facehugger, the eggs, chest bursting, a bald, female main character (didn't realize she was only bald in 3), and that awesome HR Giger design. When you die in the SNES (and I presume the Genesis) version of the game, a voice sample of Bill Paxton's character from Aliens says "game over, man!" at the game over screen. This bewildered me and I thought it was so funny that I started saying it whenever I died in ANY game. I thought it was so funny and so strange, a non-sequitur before I knew what that was and just that I knew I liked them. Later on in life I realized what it was in reference to and had a good laugh over it. Sometimes ignorance can be really funny.
I played that game as a kid as well. Amazing how you picked up the paths where you didn't meet any eggs and these infesting creatures. I didn't saw any through your entire playthrough!
Jereon Tel = AWESOME. Agony and Myth? Hell yes, fantastic composer. Right up there with Huelsbeck and the Follins. Alien3 the game? Eeeeewwww. Honestly can't believe you finished this one. Good god, I gave up on like the 2nd level.
AVGN made a good point about the scrolling in this one. Why do you have to be so far to the side of the screen to make it scroll? Hate when games do that. And they reversed the Attack and Jump buttons.
It's funny how every Alien 3 video game had to seem more like the Aliens movie than the Alien 3 movie out of necessity. Making a truly faithful Alien 3 game sounds pretty impossible. Especially back then..
back then this game is a big headache since it has very little room for error,i remember finished this game once when i stay overnight during summer with friends helping remember hostages position,yep only once since it's really difficult and never finished again by myself,it has huge potential to be developed as metroidvania i guess
I didn't even know there was an NES version. I remember renting the SNES version and having a decent time with it. I was old enough that its inconsistency with the movie didn't really bother me. I remember the gameplay growing stale over time, but the initial concepts were pretty interesting for the time, I thought. But I doubt I'd ever play it again.
Me and my friend played this game when we were teens. Only beat it when we mapped out all the prisoners and how to get to them asap otherwise the time ran out or you didn’t save all the prisoners and the exit was closed
I'm sure that this game was initially designed with no restriction to exit without all prisoners being rescued. Why would they count them after each level as a "bonus"?
She was impregnated by the alien while she was in cryosleep before arriving on Fury 161, so... stairs are the cheap option if she wasn't feeling it, I guess? Probably better than letting the morphine addict have at her internals.
Ugh. Yeah, this is an LJN game, all right. XD I find it rather ugly by NES standards. I guess it looks okay. Music's pretty cool, I gotta say. It might actually be one of LJN's better games. lol

My mother and I spent hours terrifired and frustrated, trying to find all the people. Man nostalgia and that music 😂❤ Thank you for playing the game!
This game was unsolvable labyrinth of my childhood

This game is like a time managing speed run. You got to know the map and take the most efficient path.
Same

I absolutely LOVE the music in this game!
I do to!! Where do you think we can obtain the soundtrack?
High Priestess www.zophar.net/music/nintendo-nes-nsf/alien-3 Right here :)
That soundtrack was ✅ by Jeroen Tel, one-half of Maniacs of Noise with Charles Deenen. Other composers at Probe included Stephen Collett (a.k.a. Steve Rockett), Nicholas Stroud, Matthew Furniss, Allister Brimble, Simon Robertson, Stephen Root and Andrew Brock.
I remember this game being one of the few games my dad liked. He would actually take turns playing with me and my brother.
Alien3 was almost an excellent platformer. It has an amazing soundtrack, moody graphics, good controls...
...and a ridiculous time limit that all but ruins the entire experience.
Good controls? B and A are swapped!
@@amso7169 It's not that hard to get used to, though. Iirc there were a few NES games that used B for jump instead of A.
NintendoComplete
That’s true. (Looking at you, Data East games.)
What exactly happens if time runs out?
@@windslicer4130 As I recall the kid aliens are born from prisoners and you lose one try.
Man, you weren't kidding when you said the timer was unforgiving.
(I haven't played it--but I watched this, so I'll take your word for it. Those time limits were just merciless. Some stages you were cutting it close in completing.)
I had nightmares after playing this game when I first played it xD The music was chilling and gives me chills even now xD
The ending made me laugh just cause it has a slightly condescending "you win, yay" vibe to it.
ew, its awful
The music in this game has the exact same tone as nightmare on elm street. BOTH LJN. I like em both too.
Why no explain how to get those items on top... 2:35
Best music from NES games 👍
i love the music this game

Broooooo the nostalgia is hitting me hard 😢

You do the lords work playing and finishing games i couldnt as a kid. Love the fmv videos..hellcab was my introduction to playing them
Just the Tip Oh man, Hellcab :) it was one of my first too. I still do from time-to-time look for any good old 90s FMV games that I might not have played yet. Any suggestions?
What amazes me is how they managed to incorporate so many levels, with unique designs, music in just a simple 5 inch cartridge 😍
Same goes for the DS , switch, and PSP games
Aliens are pretty capable
15:07 = Epicness
This and Castelvania Simon's quest - Nightmares of our childhood.
So what exactly does Ripley do with these prisoners? I always wondered.
Good ol slicing dicing, bro.
This game was difficult like the good games used to be back in the days. I don't think I was ever able to go through 1st level as a child.
Yeah this game used to scare the shit out of me 😂
One of the most underrated LJN Games.. I loved it!!! (^3^)

0:49 That's how quickly the actual movie would have been over if Ripley had a pulse rifle
I played that game as a kid as well. Amazing how you picked up the paths where you didn't meet any eggs and these infesting creatures. I didn't saw any through your entire playthrough!
I had it pretty meticulously mapped out because otherwise I got killed constantly by the timer.
In Poland this was pretty rare game. But after couple weeks of playing I done it. Dear god I was happy as puppy.
Jereon Tel = AWESOME. Agony and Myth? Hell yes, fantastic composer. Right up there with Huelsbeck and the Follins.
Alien3 the game? Eeeeewwww. Honestly can't believe you finished this one. Good god, I gave up on like the 2nd level.
Dorelaxen It was painful mapping out those later stages
I used to draw maps to win this game and it sure helped! great game👍
1:08 Yep, totally realistic, I have nasty falls like that, then get up and keep going, completely unfazed by what just happened.
Из России, с любовью! Это игра моего детства, много играл в нее! Спасибо за классное прохождение! Ты лучший!
В свое время несколько раз ее прошел, очень нравилась, до сих пор с теплом вспоминаю.
One of my favourite games of all time!

Gracias hermano gracias a ti pude pasarlo , es muy dificile para mi,, ya queria dejarlo ,, con tu video me ayudo mucho
A+ for 👽 3, if you asked me truly personally.
Sometimes falling down a staircase or two was necessary for saving time.
Main Menu music is stuck with me
I'm sure that this game was initially designed with no restriction to exit without all prisoners being rescued. Why would they count them after each level as a "bonus"?
thank you bro great job fantastic game is alıen and nes years..🥺👏🤜💪👍👊🤛
you have the alien 3 for super nintendo?
Can you do the other versions?
October 27, 2019
Do you mean like the other unique games based on Alien3, or do you mean this version of it on other systems?
@@NintendoComplete
Both.
That music in Boss 2, is sound so familiar.
1:10 "They are just blue balls"
That game was so hard to me when i was 7 .
Que buenos recuerdos de mi infancia
First game to ever feature a falling down stairs mechanic.
She was impregnated by the alien while she was in cryosleep before arriving on Fury 161, so... stairs are the cheap option if she wasn't feeling it, I guess? Probably better than letting the morphine addict have at her internals.
This is how I wish Alien 3 movie ended.....
This is one slappin' ass soundtrack, though, gotta say.
Alll I can think(even not being a real fan of)is Metroid..what with the maze of level layers. Good memory needed for sure.
Саундрек на первом уровне просто бомбический
T obe hoonest, i pick the mastersystem version.
Aaagh Ive been playing Mega Man too much and cant get used to NOT being able to jump of ladders.
Alien Isolation of my times 😅
"Inspired by Dracula"
LJN = Laughing Joking Numbnuts!
Kurtis Rinker: More like Lazy Jam Nation.
Kurtis Rinker at least they made good toys. Games, not so much.
Muy difícil..
Jaman waktu gw masih kaya
Why even call it alien 3 when they changed the story almost completely, haha...
Я дальше 3 уровня в детстве ни разу не проходил
Game was such a cash grab. Show the true ending where she throws herself in the molten metal
Never managed to finish it because of this stupid timer. 😂
Looks like 144fps was invented already back then.
I don't think you understand what framerate is.
The master system version was better.
*Genesis
@@Alej4nowell that was 16bit. In the 8bit league the master system version of this game was superior.
Chafa
Genesis is better
Ugh. Yeah, this is an LJN game, all right. XD I find it rather ugly by NES standards. I guess it looks okay. Music's pretty cool, I gotta say. It might actually be one of LJN's better games. lol
