PLAY ⚡

Alien Brigade is an action shooter developed by Atari Corporation and released for the Atari 7800 in 1990. Playing similarly to the arcade hit Operation Wolf, you take on the role of a soldier fighting off an extraterrestrial invasion where alien parasites take over human bodies. The game stands out in the 7800 library for its intense, light-gun style gameplay and horizontally scrolling battlefields.

How to play

Your primary objective is to survive each scrolling mission by eliminating hostile forces and alien creatures while carefully avoiding friendly hostages. Shoot supply crates as they appear to restock your limited ammunition and acquire heavier weapons.

Tips

Ammunition drains quickly, so be sure to shoot any supply crates you see to refill your bullets and obtain weapon upgrades.
Prioritize targets that pose an immediate threat, such as enemies throwing grenades or aiming directly at you.
Watch your fire when the screen is crowded; accidentally shooting the friendly hostages running across the battlefield will penalize you.
