Premise:  As former space flight officer Ellen Ripley, you must once again face your worst nightmare from your past when the fledgling colony of Hadley's Hope is attacked by an unknown life form.  It is not unknown to you, however - you know that world as planet LV-426, and the life form in question is the same nearly unstoppable alien species that wiped out all other members of your survey ship crew over 50 years before.

Comments:  Okay, so it's another DOOM-inspired corridor shooter.  It's one of the best ones out there, and the franchise has a lot to do with that.  It obviously owes a lot to Justin Fisher's Aliens TC for DOOM, but has the gameplay twists and options that only a dedicated game could bring.  Well worth the look.

Rating:  7

Variants:  No working 32X code known to exist at this time, although the existence of early planning and programming work is well documented.  There is some debate as to whether or not it would have been released in full as a CD 32X title or in stripped-down form (minus cinemas) as a regular 32X cartridge title.  This was eventually released for Sega Saturn.

Sidebars:  Alien Trilogy is loosely based on the first three films in Fox's highly successful Aliens franchise.
