Reviews for Alien (#160)

Review by The Dean of Games on 28 Jul 2013 (Rating: 2)

1986 Your Sinclair (UK)
by Stewart Green

Published as a type-in in YS, this is actually a quite nice, although primitive, shoot-em-up, with a few fun sound fx's and unusual energy pills.
Later the author with enhance the game up a bit with the name Space Fright.

A little primitive for a 1986´s release ... but still , a very competent Space Invaders clone .

Sound fxs are great but hitting the enemy is quite hard because of the erratic movements . In spite of that and the basic graphics , Alien rise above mediocrity due to its brilliant game-play , mainly .
