Good catch - definitely sounds like the same. Also doesn't surprise me - I think Sega had to get "creative" in acquiring samples to use in the game...sucks the gun doesn't sound like the pulse rifle.
@@houstonhelicoptertours1006 They're also of surprisingly low quality compared to the ones in The Gun, but you are correct about the frames being missing. :( Maybe it'd just be easier to create low poly models (such as those seen in AvP2 and PH) and just create renders of those for a sprite-based enemy, or something like that...
This looks legit pretty scary (in addition to being a lot of fun). The speed and intensity, the excellent sprites (the Facehuggers in particular are so damn creepy looking), the fact that you're constantly under attack by some of the most frightening creature designs ever... not to mention that getting a Game Over earns you what's basically a proto-screamer. Also it's kind of funny that the final boss in this Alien game is some Wey-Yu dude in a trenchcoat. Reminds me of how in the Jurassic Park Sega CD game, your final challenge wasn't Velociraptors or the T.rex... it was some BioSyn dudes with guns lmao.
I remember watching someone complete this and were miffed about the ending, I suppose from their perspective 40 minutes of gameplay only to be treated to a sundance kid ending wasn't something they be expecting.
I felt the same way when I first saw someone else complete this- as the producers had already taken liberties with the storyline so why not have the player face off against an alien queen (for example)?
I remember playing this game on the arcade and sucking really bad at it. But i didn't give a damn to spend a lot of quarters in it because this game is so engaging and fun to play. And by the way: You were SO LUCKY to make the last boss use his flamethrower only, because that asshole also has a machine gun and when he uses it, it does a shit ton of damage!
Despite the graphical glitches in the game, like shot off limbs clipping through walls etc. The game looks amazing. The artstyle reminds you of everything you saw in the movies, and more. Basically true to the Lore. Even if everything is literally just a 2D Sprite... The only downside is the sound. But the Soundchip probably couldn't deliver more. Even if they had all the iconic movie sounds implemented. Which they didn't, sadly.
Well said. I try to explain this to my kids. They have PS4 and Wii U's and the graphical capabilities of these systems is all they've known. So when I show them certain Neo Geo games on UA-cam they laugh at how primitive it is to them. I try and put it across to them that art design and style goes a long way, but they won't have it.
That's nostalgia goggles talking... Making this kind of games today, even with the graphical standard of today, people will just say how lore braking the game is, like how the aliens are all charging mindlessly in a straight and narrow alley ways instead of trying to sneak up and hunt you from the shadows. So yeah, nostalgia goggles.
@@_Muzolf Yeah but it's not the same thing. Back then we saw arcade games way more advanced than anything on home console, back when aliens, predator and terminator were franchises at their peaks and not in terminal decline. Being a kid too, makes all the difference. For me it was arcade rooms at Centre Parks, after hours in the water park. Plus, you have the gun peripherals, your friends, no internet.
Actually if I am correct, I believe his weapons power meter does not drain very much either. Whereas it does quite often in the actual arcade. This may be a glitch and unintentional by the uploader but it would certainly give him an advantage not available at the arcade.
The name of this game is hilarious for some reason. Its like the developers were like "What would the movie Alien 3 have been if the protagonist had a gun with unlimited ammo. 🤔"
Even though Alien3 was amongst the worst of the franchise, it also kept it alive enough time to open the door to a lot of merchindising. Almost any good comic, toy or game came after the movie was released.
Holy shit, I never realized it before but you're absolutely right. The earliest Aliens actions figures I believe were the Kenners - they came out in 92, same year as Alien3. The only exception I can think of might be the Aliens arcade game which was released in 1990 but I don't really think that counts because it clearly was the product of Konami rather than Fox (there were C64 Aliens games but they were unlicensed).
I had to try real hard to remember when I saw this arcade game for the first time. It happened to be when my family went to the movies to see Speed 2 Cruise Control. I was standing in line and the demo screen caught my eye. To be honest I was a bit scared of it but now looking at this it looked like a great arcade game.
I remember seeing this arcade machine in the odeon or icu cinema in the city close to me iirc around 1995 I think ( had to be as I remember the poster for the twelve monkeys on the wall) really was a fun game ..

I don't seem to remember any of this happening in Alien 3. Especially the Allen versus Terminator bit. This is. What happens when artistic license is allowed to run out of control.
If I could romhack this game, I'd just tweak the names of the bosses. Super Facehugger to Queen Facehugger. Generic "Alien" at the end of Stage 2 Part 2 (so what were all the OTHER aliens, then?) to "Armored Alien", explaining how it could take so many shots. "Super Dogburster" to "Praetorian Dogburster", to line up with an evolution the xenomorphs can undergo in the expanded universe and have appeared in games such as the Aliens vs Predator beat 'em up, to explain why it can keep 'healing' from the blown apart animation. And of course, the proper name for the 'Alien' boss of Stage 4, 5, and the first part of 6, the name given to it in the film by the insane prisoner Golic: The Dragon. The Unidentified Man can keep his name.
Why the hell are robots attacking the player? I could understand a pure robot level as they maybe went haywire when a computer system was damage but why are they allied with the aliens? makes no sense.
You know how many guns there were in the movie? None! I guess the reason why this arcade game have "Alien 3" in the title is because the movie were new. If an Alien arcade machine were published back in 1986, it would be know as: "Aliens: The Gun Arcade", because the movie "Aliens" were new back then.
I love how this game had absolutely zero to do with the movie, since the only actual guns that showed up were in the last 5 minutes, and there were only two aliens seen in the whole thing.
I know the final confrontation in the movie involved a man in sunglasses who resembled the Bishop android, but I'm still disappointed with the final boss being that guy. It should have been against the Dragon.
And that was part of what made it suck. After the Queen and the ferocity of an entire nest, the movie goes back to a single alien. If they had taken a dual pronged approach and introduced us to a cast of characters who get split up, some exploring a station with one or a few solitary aliens, and others trapped on the planet below, whilst both groups had to work in tandem to coordinate and call in a rescue, it would have made for a far superior film.
Pretty funny to name a game "Alien 3 The Gun" when the film Alien 3 explicitly doesn't feature a single gun. Anyhow I wish I come across this as a kid. Seems like it would've been mind-blowing
this looks amazingly similar to DOOM style 3D. I wonder if the developers were using similar algorithms to achieve their 3D style? is it something like binary space partitioning ?
No. This is all achieved via scaling BG layers (+ line scroll in some places) and tons of large, scaling sprites. As for the "walls" 1. vertical strips/sprites (unlikely here but still a way to do it) 2. (far more likely) large sprites with the proper rotations since the system can store and draw these easily Games that do similar things for their "walls" are Sega's Last Survivor and Taito's Space Gun and Gun Buster.
This movie was kinda a big F.U. to merch pushers of the time. "The movie contains exactly three aliens and zero guns until the final five minutes. Now slap that license on a light gun game" The idea of the content making any sense was torpedoed before the dev team was even assembled.
That reminds of Jurassic Park, which I played with my mom at a Chuck E. Cheese in Fort Wayne, IN, as part of of a family lunch outing, in 1998. (I was 11 years old at the time.) Of course, that game used mounted guns and you had to sit in a chair that moved along with the progression of the game, contrary to using light guns and having to stand up. Not to mention this game came out the same year as both the JP game and the original film!
It still is astounding how one of the bosses of this game is just "Alien." Nothing special. Just a slightly bigger Xenomorph sprite given the name "Alien." The devs couldn't be bothered to make a Queen Alien sprite? They just made a normal one bigger but kept the name the same?!? To quote GeneralLotz; "Your main enemies are Aliens! You can't just make a slightly bigger sprite, give it the same name, and call it a boss!"

I mean yeah it's gory but you're still fighting aliens with green blood, not that much worse than what you see in the classic Metroid games.

Not to mention, that jumpscare screen if you don't continue the game.

It still is astounding how one of the bosses of this game is just "Alien." Nothing special. Just a slightly bigger Xenomorph sprite given the name "Alien." The devs couldn't be bothered to make a Queen Alien sprite? They just made a normal one bigger but kept the name the same?!?
To quote GeneralLotz;
"Your main enemies are Aliens! You can't just make a slightly bigger sprite, give it the same name, and call it a boss!"
