ALIEN³

Action Shooter Platformer
Singleplayer Multiplayer

ALIEN³ is an action-platformer that brought the sci-fi horror franchise to early 90s consoles, releasing across SNES, NES, and Game Boy in March 1993. The game tasks players with shooting and platforming through alien-infested environments.

Recent coverage has largely moved beyond the original game itself, instead focusing on tangential cultural moments: a musician tied to the Alien franchise name announced a retro side-scroller game adaptation of his solo album for PC and Game Boy, while unrelated stories about space tributes and dinosaur-themed horror games have circulated. The original ALIEN³ remains a notable entry in 16-bit and handheld gaming history, though current discussion around the property tends toward spiritual successors and cross-genre inspiration rather than the game itself.
