Alien³ Overview
Alt. Names:
Alien 3, エイリアン3
Alien 3 is a side scrolling action game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Its narrative continues from the film Aliens, finding Ellen Ripley in cryo sleep on the Sulaco spacecraft.
The ship crashes on the prison planet Fiorina 161 after an alien infestation, forcing Ripley and the unarmed inmates to survive until rescue. The game involves navigating large, maze like levels where the primary objectives are to locate all trapped prisoners and then find the exit.
These tasks must be completed while evading or confronting repeated alien attacks. The specific gameplay experience for this NES version differs from other platform adaptations of the title.
