Alien 3 is an intense run-and-gun action game developed by Probe Software and released for the Sega Master System in 1992. Rather than strictly following the slower-paced film, this adaptation arms Ellen Ripley with an arsenal of weapons to battle Xenomorphs across the Fiorina 161 prison colony. Players must navigate sprawling, maze-like levels to rescue trapped prisoners and reach the exit before a strict time limit expires.
How to Play
Your primary objective is to locate and rescue all the prisoners scattered throughout each level, then find the exit before the timer runs out. You can access computer terminals to view the prison’s blueprints and your current objectives.
- Movement: Arrow Keys (D-pad) to move, climb ladders, and crawl.
- Shoot: Z key (Button 1)
- Jump: X key (Button 2)
Tips
- Watch the Timer: The time limits in this game are notoriously tight. Don’t waste time fighting respawning aliens unless they are directly blocking your path.
- Use the Terminals: Always check computer terminals for blueprints. Knowing the layout is essential to finding all prisoners quickly.
- Conserve Ammunition: Your pulse rifle, flamethrower, and grenades have limited ammo. Save your heavier weapons for crowded areas or tougher enemies.
