Description
Alien Trilogy is a first-person shooter based on the first three Alien movies. You control Lt. Ripley in three sections, each based on one film: The colony complex on LV426 (from Aliens), the prison planet (from Alien続) and the derelict spaceship (from Alien). Each section consists of about 10 missions. In every mission, certain goals must be accomplished to continue. These include killing a certain number of enemies, finding items or activating switches.
Enemies include everything the alien life cycle provides: facehuggers, chestbursters, warrior aliens, dog aliens (from Alien続) and alien queens, one of which waits in the final mission of every section. In addition to the Aliens, you also have to fight employees of the Company, who have either been infected by the aliens and are beyond saving or who actively want to obstruct your mission. Weapons to be used include pistol, shotgun, pulse rifle, flame thrower and smart gun. Ammunition, health upgrades and other useful items are scattered throughout the levels. Hidden areas may be uncovered by using explosives like grenades and seismic charges. An auto mapping system helps in not getting lost, night goggles and shoulder lamps (running on battery power) allow you to see in the dark and the motion tracker tells you where your enemies are - but only if they are moving.
From Mobygames.com. Original Entry
Product Information. Alien Trilogy is a first-person shooter that combines all three Alien movies into one quest broken into three chapters. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of its respective movie, but does not follow the order in which they were released.You begin on LV426 - the setting of the sequel, Aliens. The game then flows into the prison colony of Alien 3 and finally comes to a close aboard the derelict spacecraft from the original Alien. Regardless of their order, each quest requires the completion of missions loosely based on those of the movies. They range from going from point A to point B to destroying the Queen's nest.
Each one intertwines with the overall storyline, which is told via cinema sequences rendered and inspired by the movies.Also lifted from the movies are the way the three sections are presented in atmosphere, mood, and level design. Most corridors are dark and ominous and attempt to embrace the player with a feeling of suspense and fear. All of the creatures seen in the movies have been included, such as the face-hugger and regular aliens. If it's not killed fast enough, the former will jump up on your face/screen and begin sucking your life away.Alien Trilogy is for one player only.
Prepare to be scared spitless!As a recently retired individual, I needed something to take up my extra time,and got into military style video games. Over the years I have bought several game systems, ( PS1, PS2 and Wii)and played occasionally. But now, I play a variety of first person shooter games. This game is an excellent example of a seat of your pants game, where you need a sharp eye, and a steady hand or you get attacked by all sort of nasty aliens.
Very close to the movies, and situations in them. Prepare for a real roller coaster ride of action. The graphics are spectacular, the aliens and face huggers numerous and quick.
Its a combination of a maze, and an all pout attack on yourself as you play. This game is one of the top, most played in my collection. It never gets old, and can be played many times, and alw ays seems new when you pick up the controller.
I recommend playing it in the dark, for the best gaming experience. Two Thumbs up!. Classic game from my childhood.This game came from a time period where no one really cared about a story or mind blowing graphics. (Examples were Rebel Assault and Die Hard Trilogy to name a few). What this game had was the awesome gameplay. This game put you where Aliens started but added elements from the 3 movies out at the time. First with Aliens at Hadley's Hope, then the prison modeled after Fury 161, and finishes at the Derelict Space Craft.
The game also pitted you against not only xenomorphs, but also hostile survivors, synthetics, and alien hunters that look like a mix between a hazmat worker and a stormtrooper with a pulse rifle. Also there are different strains of xenomorphs, which are mostly seen from the movies except the Adult Dog Xenomorph which design came from mostly the dog/ox strain. Also unique for its time were the mission objectives. Sure it was just one per level and usually repetitive, but it was hard on you if you had a sub par result it would force you to replay the level and do better. I hope some fans devote themselves into remaking the game in the new Aliens vs.

Predator game if an SDK is released. Alien Trilogy (Playstation 1)Well, what can I say?
It's a Playstation 1 title. So with that said, I guess you would have to be a 'retro-gamer' and an Alien fan like myself to fully enjoy the game.The main reason that I purchased this Playstation 1 game was because I am a HUGE Alien movie franchise fan. Plus, there aren't any video games of this nature available for my Wii or Playstation 2 game consoles. As in, no Aliens first person shooter (FPS) games for either system.As for the game, it's your basic first person shooter (FPS) video game. I only rate it as average, as the graphics are so-so and the game controls are below average. As a matter of fact, I believe that the game controls are a bit 'clunky' and the first person shooter (FPS) scrolling feature is also a bit on the 'clunky' side.I really only suggest this game to die-hard Alien fans that want a challenging controlled game and can stomach the large pixels of a Playstattion 1 game.Buy at your own risk. Alien trilogy previewIn ALIEN TRILOGY, those chest-bursting, face-sucking, acid-spewing minions of deep space whose only goal is to destroy every human they come into contact with are back.
Only one person can save humanity from the alien threat: Lt. Ellen Ripley. Guide her as she blasts through 30 levels of aliens with everything from a 9mm handgun to a powerful flame-thrower. All of the weapons cause damage to the interactive environments that are inspired by the three movies, so you can destroy walls to find shortcuts and reveal secrets, which gives you several alternate ways to complete a level.
With plenty of secrets and shortcuts, any fan of first-person shooters or the ALIEN movies will be happy for a long time.
