One novel feature is your on-screen radar. Just as in Doom there are several weapons to defend yourself with (you start off with the standard 9mm pistol) and as you explore the colony you can pick up a host of power-ups - armour, acid protection, medikits, night vision goggles, automapper etc. There are over 30 levels to complete, interspersed with some bonus-like areas. For example the image of your hand holding the gun looks not unlike that in Wolf 3D which, as everybody knows, was released not long after the PC was invented.īut after your first encounter with some of the less-than-friendly extraterrestrials which are the staple diet in this game (you also have to destroy some of The Company's soldiers), you can begin to ignore its limitations and be subtly drawn into its nightmarish world.Īlien Trilogy, as the name suggests, is broken in to three parts. Initially Alien Trilogy sends out the wrong signals, with its below par graphics. Doom-meets-Alien certainly sounds promising. This storyline is the backdrop for what is basically another Doom clone and if it wasn't for its connections with the brilliant film it probably wouldn't generate as much interest as it does.
