Here's a blast from the past.Tonight I'm playing Alien Trilogy(ps1)Released in 1996(I was only 6 years old lol)the game was basically a Doom mod(i kinda like it better than Doom because of the license)True to it's name it spanned the first three movies,with locations including Hadley's Hope,the Prison(on LV-426 lol),and the derelict.This was probably the first truely great Alien game in my opinion.It had a sizable roster of Enemies without straying from the films.A well rounded arsenal of weapons,complete with appropriate sound effects to boot.I posting to see how many of you have played this gem.I've been playing it for years and still love it!I guess I'm kinda old after all lol.(Sorry if this makes no sense,I've been drunking lol)

Ah the memories... it was one of the first games I played on the Playstation along with Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. 

I recently managed to get a brand new Black Label (original) copy of the game for around $44 (approximate USD price equivalent to  what I paid here) 

Now I just need to get Alien Resurrection so that I can face the Newfbgdjggg *is strangled*

I spent many hours playing Alien Trilogy on my Sega Saturn. That game NAILED the vibe. It was creepy and had perfect pacing..

Exactly, it's hard to describe but it really got the darkish Alien tone right in a way only Alien Isolation managed to nail yet again almost 20 years later.

Neomorph:I actually split the night between Alien Trilogy and Alien Resurrection.Both are great,while Alien Trilogy is basically a Doom mod(also a little slower than Doom)Alien Resurrection probably has more in common with Half Life,a lot of environmental hazards and such.

Great topic ninXeno426. I'm still playing Metroid Prime and Gauntlet on Gamecube (each over and over) from 2002.

I am going to upgrade to a system that I can watch/play the Alien: Covenant VR on. I forecast that the Alien Virtual Reality experience is going to cause problems for me at home during binge plays.

Neomorph - I remember Oddworl Abe's Exodus. That game was perfect! I downloaded on PSN but it is way too pixilated. There is a newer Oddworld game on PSN but it uses the analog stick instead of the d pads so makes playing not so good.

A reviewer said that by the time you are done with Trilogy, you will wish you had been fighting predators with plastic scissors and a stick and glue.

Loved Alien trilogy and Alien Resurrection on the PS1! I also got an Atari Jaguar for Xmas back in '94 w/AVP (the first 3d incarnation of that series, very much like doom). One of the coolest games to date if you can find it. Fantastic! Also, if you're into DOOM, from way back, a guy named Justin Fischer did a complete overhaul of the DOOM engine, ALIENS style. Redid the weapons and creatures, straight from the movie. He also redid the levels (the very first stage had no enemies which was unheard of for DOOM and really added to the suspense). Other changes included XENOS dropping from the ceiling and having to seal doors to keep the nasties from breaching the med labs... and proximity indicators for Deathmatch (all of which added different tactics for players... and redesigned the levels specifically for a good kill-your-buddies fest). When that hit, it outdid the actual DOOM game in popularity if I remember, at the time, and companies wanted to hire the guy for level design. Seriously worth your while if you're a retro gamer and an ALIENS fan. Google ALIENS TC - (total conversion for Ultimate Doom) - check it... you'll be glad you did!

dk yeah I love the first two Oddworld games and I have them on my Vita where the pixels are less visible due to the small screen.

New 'n' Tasty was an admirable attempt but turned into more of a mainstream experience imo. With Soulstorm, Lanning wants to return to the darker universe of the very first game.

Back in the day we borrowed a PS1 for a weekend from a friend to see what it was like - Alien Trilogy was one of the games he lent us - got it home Friday evening and it was 4am Saturday before we took our first 'sleep break' - played the entire weekend and by the following weekend we had our own PS1 and Alien Trilogy - I imagine it looks very dated now but back then it was as creepy and atmospheric as they came - especially the motion sensor going off - pulse rate went through the roof!!!
