Alien 3

About

Alien 3 is a 1992 shooter-adventure-platform hybrid developed by Probe Entertainment. Set on the desolate planet Fury 161, you play as Ripley, armed with Colonial Marine gear, navigating environments teeming with Xenomorphs. The action leans into relentless enemy waves, reminiscent of the Aliens movie, blending combat with exploration and platforming challenges. Each level forces you to balance survival and rescue missions as prisoners are scattered across the hostile terrain. Originally hitting SNES and Genesis, it later expanded to systems like Commodore 64 and GameGear. While not as critically celebrated as its film counterpart, fans praise its tense action and atmospheric design. Community reviews highlight its difficulty spikes and dated visuals but note the game’s dedication to the franchise’s grim tone. With a 72% on retro gaming sites, it’s a niche entry for horror fans nostalgic for ’90s sci-fi thrills.

Storyline

Loosely based off of the movie franchise, the main character Ripley arrives at Fiorina "Fury" 161, and she finds the planet is infested by Xenomorph Runnera. She is equipped with Colonial Marine equipment to defend herself while rescuing prisoners that are captured by the Aliens.
