"... ignore the setup of the movie and make an 'Aliens' game that just looked like Alien 3" - this pretty much sums it up. I stumbled upon this game right now, and I'm heavily conflicted. It seems like a really good game, mechanic/art wise, little bit repetitive, but ok, it's an shooter platform game. On the other side it's a complete reverse to the point of being a complete parody. Also, the biggest issue in Alien video games ? Acid blood. It's virtually non-existent, because it would break any action or melee in video games.
I just decided to check it cause i played Nes version as kid and for a long time i had no idea there is Snes version. Also i love Alien and Predator stuff in general😅
Always loved how smooth Ripleys mechanics were in addition to the attention of detail for the pulse rifle (no bullet stream, just muzzle flash), blue flame thrower muzzle flare, and Ripleys finger always visible on the trigger.
@@francischambless5919 Alien: 1 Aliens: 157 (Population of Hadleys Hope, minus Newt) Alien3: 2 Alien Resurrection: less than 10 so in these 4 main movies we have less than 200 xenomorphs.
People always criticized this game for being too slow-paced but I really liked to play it for the ambience as a kid. There was something really peaceful and serene about the dark, isolated vibe that it gave off.
I remember getting this from KB toys for $35-$40 onsale with my dad back in the day ... I ended up trading him maximum carnage for this (parents were divorced) .. I love the intro so much
Visually this game was perhaps the best looking Alien 3 title (or Aliens title at the time until the franchise went FPS) but the gameplay was so repetitive after a while. I am not sure what the solution was. Perhaps just one single very large map/world with a handful of missions? In a way the Gameboy game handled it better. You would go out and search for clues and items while having to carry out a handful of objectives. 1. Destroy all the Aliens and eggs. 2. Destroy the Alien Queen. 3. Fix up the EEV for liftoff. 4. Make sure some of the prisoners survive. I know that would be rather short for a SNES game, but combined with a Metroid style world?
One of the most interesting parts of the game is actually in the back of the manual - what looks like a hard copy printout of a PC file written from the perspective of Ellen Ripley, detailing her history with the Xenomorphs and their life cycle and different physical phases.
My friends and I played this as kids. Crazy hard, but a lot of fun. We liked it a lot more than the movie. Basically, it's much more of an Aliens game, just based in the Alien 3 environment.
@@IrinaSwat What? This is so vastly superior to the Genesis/Megadrive that it seems more like a remake made years later than a contemporary version. I get it, childhood, biases, rose-tinted glasses, etcetera etcetera etcetera, but man, there's some occasions in life where, simply put, there's not enough room for biases, like it or not.
Man, this game is so tedious. Can't imagine having to complete all those objectives in such maze-like environments. On top of that you have to strike the right balance in preserving ammunition. No wonder I gave up on this so early as a kid lol
I also gave up on it early, however it is worth another look. It does seem like a maze at first, but mostly it's just the room with the terminals and some other rooms all attached to that one room.

@@sl9sl9 True, I would give it another shot if I could get my hands on it, and a platform to play it on.

The most frustrating part must be having to travel to a room just to pick up ammo for the next objective whilst at the same time conserving ammo along the way, and avoiding death lol
@@antoniot.6594 Been playing it on a wired controller on my phone using retroarch and the emulation is perfect. I still must have it somewhere on my father's home, along with the console, but the emulation works so great that I don't feel the need to bother at all.
Personally I didn't found it hard at all, but I was 19 and I'd spent my childhood struggling with stuff like Cauldron or Ghosts n' Goblins on the C64 so this felt like a casual walk in the park with a lot of benches along the way - i.e. passwords, if you get what I mean... we didn't have any of that when we were kids! Most games didn't even have mid-stage checkpoints. Passwords that allowed to come back to where you left after having turned the computer/console off!? Getouttahere!! What, you're serious!? Man, everything changes so fast...
I remember when they were going to Port the Aliens arcade game to the Sega Genesis back in the early 90s. Sadly, because of a legal dispute between Konami and James Cameron, the completed cartridges never made to shelves.
It always struck me as odd and funny how in some cellblock backgrounds you see the prisoners silhouettes just lounging around, looking at the player. Yea, don't worry guys, freaking hundreds of aliens and things to do. I got this.
True. There were a number of art? directions that didn't make sense for this game. Like the movie also experienced. The background mat with people lounging around, multiple aliens, suddenly Guns, walking around repairing stuff, and finally: rescuing prisoners from xeno's!? Even while understanding how and why movie tie-in games are made, Alien 3 made little sense. It would have made 50% more sense to be called "Aliens" or similar since its game mechanics connect more with James Camerons movie over Alien3. Also, even as an early teen, my response to the cryo facehugger leap on-off was: wft was that supposed to be?! It looked nice, but again it was weirdly incomprehensible.
@@emprsnm9903 I think this has to do with its Developement hell and tge scripts but i would assume that they made their own Interpretation of Alien³ as a game . So it isnt really so much off from the movie/script but then again Alien³ is pretty wild as a sequel and as a movie with its own problems and stories.
This was the first video game I ever played back in the 90's, my older brother gave me a shot as a little kid about five years old it's thanks to that I been gaming for almost 26 years now.
There are just a few good games published by LJN and this one is one of them. It has an faithful atmosphere, good gameplay, decent graphics and sound. The 3 layer parallax scrolling looks great as well. It's a hard game, but it's definitely better than the Genesis Alien 3.
@@mooch4274I would rather play the Sega Genesis version. Due to the fast-paced action in the Genesis version, having to save all of the prisoners in time, having to also reach the exit in time, the awesome music, and it was the sole reason I picked the Sega Genesis version.
It's funny because this version of the story is much better than the movie it's based on. There's plenty of aliens instead of just one, said aliens have crazy exotic varieties and there' a full-on hive, actual guns - including return of flamer/pulse rifle combo, fast-paced tense action, and prisoners are actually imprisoned with chains instead of roaming freely with no supervision.
The first alien movie had almost none of the things you mention. And it was a great movie. Tbf it wasn't the ingredients that made the 3rd movie mediocre. Just the way it was cooked up.
@@SamuraiHonor First movie followed a tiny group of people we care about if they died. A3 followed, by and large, mostly a horde of forgettable prisoners, and then some key characters. You couldn't make an Alien 1 type scenario on this prison planet work, unless you drastically change the setting so there's e.g. 3-4 prisoners left, prisoners that we know by name, so we actually fear for their lives. But horde of characters but a single alien... that just couldn't have worked.
My first impressions...love the Xenophobe throwback jump and maze-like levels, the actual Sigourney Weaver stars in it, and they have all the classic monsters and weapons from Aliens, a total package. For me at least. All I thought in the arcades playing Xenophobe is 'I wish this was more like Aliens!', you know? Hell, even the blueprints are sick, straight to the town hall meeting if ya catch my drift!
@@pferreira1983 agree. actually, the MD version of alien is soooo much better to play. cant avoid snoring during this slow paced action with this (beautiful) but boooooring muffled orchestrated sounds. MD all the way.
Alien 3 is not excellent. It looks pretty, has great music, and some awesome cinematagrophy, some great acting, and the ending is really good, but the film opens very poor and nonsensically, and it takes nearly an hour for the audience and Ripley to be on the same page. Not good writing, at all.
@@OpenMawProductions The game is excellent, tho'. Agree about the movie. As Hitchcock said, all that matters is the script, the script and the script. No matter how good everything else might be; if the script is crap, the movie will be crap. Just like the recent Batman movie. If it was made 20 years ago, when decent scriptwriting was still the norm, it would've been torn to pieces, but in today's world where multi-billion blockbusters written by simpletons have become the new _normal,_ any movie where characters brood and talk a lot, even if it's just hot air - characterization, they call it - and _seem_ to do a bunch of stuff, even if they fail to actually accomplish anything while being tossed around by messed-up plotlines devoid of any kind of logic whilst somehow _appearing_ and being sold as complex, are overrated as hell and regarded as masterpieces. Honestly, one is left to wonder how is it possible that the art of moviemaking has evolved so much in only two decades in some aspects whilst de-evolving so dramatically in others.
I hired this out from the video shop back in the day. Incredible graphics and animation for a SNES game. But as my older brother explained to my younger self, the games narrative didn't make sense because it had nothing to do with the movie. We would laugh about it. Yet this is a good game.
Cómo lo jugué adelantado a su tiempo hasta el día de hoy se ve bien la música lo fluido de los movimientos de Ripley etc super nintendo por siempre desde Santiago Chile Marcelo blum
Might not be completely faithful to the movie as far as the plot goes, but it's got the tone and the look down right. The soundtrack is pretty nice as well.
IKR? But this is one of the few times I'm glad they deviated from the source material. I can't imagine how incredibly boring it would be, just running from xenos with the limitations of the SNES.
@CazMatazz really? wow that would explain why those games are shooters unlike the movie... I wonder what their reaction was when the saw the movie and there was not a single gun it it, lol
While I consider the movie a guilty pleasure, I know the consensus opinion on it is pretty negative but even if I shared that opinion, I would still be glad it exists because it gave us this great game.
What I liked most about the movie was the atmosphere but I consider Alien story wise better. Aliens is a fun action movie and a worthy successor but I am not sure if I would call it better than the first.
I'm almost at the end of the game, I have roughly 10% left very good games I really like to score various weapons and genre labyrinth I prefer this version compare to the Genesis version
I remember as a kid I was a fan of the Alien series but I never bothered to play this game as it wasn't true to the Alien 3 story as Ripley seems to have the pulse rifle from Aliens but seeing it now I wish I would have played it.
I felt this was better than the mega drive version mainly because of looked and sounded better, but it did have some issues like the people in the back of levels ??? But it did stick to the film plot line if the little missions where pointless sealing doors and pipes for what overload of the core? I couldn't quite get what it was all for in a way but they had to come up with something I suppose for the game tie in 26:59 best level music in the game

I hired this out from the video shop back in the day. Incredible graphics and animation for a SNES game. But as my older brother explained to my younger self, the games narrative didn't make sense because it had nothing to do with the movie. We would laugh about it. Yet this is a good game.
the music in this version is amazing fits well into the game i also like the mega drive soundtrack.
I remember playing this game before I saw the movie, was bit confused why they didn´t have guns in the film
I've played the sega Genesis version but ive never had a chance to play the snes version
I think it is the best looking version of all implementations.
Cómo lo jugué adelantado a su tiempo hasta el día de hoy se ve bien la música lo fluido de los movimientos de Ripley etc super nintendo por siempre desde Santiago Chile Marcelo blum
Cool. Back to childhood. This game was too hard for me then. Best regards and wishes you further successes :)
Cool version. Even the commercial AD they did was cool.
Might not be completely faithful to the movie as far as the plot goes, but it's got the tone and the look down right. The soundtrack is pretty nice as well.

IKR? But this is one of the few times I'm glad they deviated from the source material. I can't imagine how incredibly boring it would be, just running from xenos with the limitations of the SNES.
And they were dealing with just one(!) alien in the movie.
@CazMatazz really? wow that would explain why those games are shooters unlike the movie... I wonder what their reaction was when the saw the movie and there was not a single gun it it, lol
@CazMatazz Interesting! Do you have a link to the interview?
While I consider the movie a guilty pleasure, I know the consensus opinion on it is pretty negative but even if I shared that opinion, I would still be glad it exists because it gave us this great game.
What I liked most about the movie was the atmosphere but I consider Alien story wise better. Aliens is a fun action movie and a worthy successor but I am not sure if I would call it better than the first.
I did play this game all the waythrew an beat it...still in my collection, but no system to play it on any more
1:14:21 the first time I played this game and saw this thing, I jump off the couch
DVD image hueahuaeuea
I'm almost at the end of the game, I have roughly 10% left
very good games I really like to score various weapons and genre labyrinth
I prefer this version compare to the Genesis version
The death cries of these enemies sound more like seagulls to me.
Wow this game seems really good. I thought they only made an Fps
Alien 3 Super Nes, Alien Trilogy per Playstation e Alien Isolation per Xbox One... Stupendi... 😊💚
Thanks for share, great moments.
This would feel right at home on that indie machine they call a Switch.
This game made me sh*t my pants as kid. 'ol good times man, i miss those times.
Graphics is amazing daam
Can't imagine any one who will watch this video for the next 3 hours.But it's nice to watch 10 minutes or so . Thanks anyway.
I watched about half an hour. 25 minutes from the beginning for nostalgia and 5 minutes at the end for the pay off. Gotta love UA-cam!
Real Paranormal Oahu HA HA

Bishop II : [watching Ripley fall to her death] Nooooooo!
I beat this game as a kid, I had a Mega Drive as well, but chose the SNES version as the gameplay was deeper.
Crying and no one older than me understands lol memories bruh memories good times with the super Nintendo vrs mega drive at school lol
Music brings back memories
I remember as a kid I was a fan of the Alien series but I never bothered to play this game as it wasn't true to the Alien 3 story as Ripley seems to have the pulse rifle from Aliens but seeing it now I wish I would have played it.
LOVE THIS GAME ITS SO CREEPY LOL WOULD PLAY THIS WHEN WAS YOUNGER NES WORKS TO THIS DAY AMAZING VIDEO LIKE IT
This was my fired Alien game!
I like those xenomorth kids also running in the game.
I felt this was better than the mega drive version mainly because of looked and sounded better, but it did have some issues like the people in the back of levels ??? But it did stick to the film plot line if the little missions where pointless sealing doors and pipes for what overload of the core? I couldn't quite get what it was all for in a way but they had to come up with something I suppose for the game tie in
26:59 best level music in the game
