I just bought this game authentic CIB (NES) BECAUUSEEE boredom. Too much Mike Matei in the background...

As a young child playing this in the 1980s I never got anywhere 😂 watching the 7 minute play through I have no idea how anyone could do that lol

Unpopular opinion: Alien 3 is my favorite alien movie… at least the assembly cut etc… irregardless of flaws… reason being it was the first Alien movie I saw as a little kid. Love the Dog Alien. Also like how brutal some of the scenes are and dark it is.

😍

An Alien Isolation version of Alien 3 would be awesome. Imagine trying to survive on Fury 161. Prisoners could act as threats or allies,a hybrid alien as a stalker,runners similar to the RE zombie dogs and maybe even WY soldiers😮 This would be my dream Alien game😁

I loved this retrospect, @ItsMatticusFinch. Another game from this exact era was, In Cold Blood. An under-rated gem. Beautiful pre-rendered backgrounds with tank controls. But it was an amazing action-adventure/ story created by Revolution Software. I’d love for you to review it like you’ve done here for Fear Effect ❤

Frost is the first to die I think.

The film is underrated the assembly cut is the better version.

I love this game. I played it to death

Oef, the screen is littered with coins. Its really distracting. All those coins. Man, to bad.

It would be criminal not to have online multiplayer.

To all the people saying you should have played the amiga version... Wrong. You should have played the c64 version which had the best music.

You know what it actually probably owes more to? Alone in the Dark 2: Jack is back. Movement speed, camera angles, general feel. Hope you'll cover that too at some point.

You wish more people remembered this? okay... "Glaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssss" I'm late to the party, mate but keep it up. Your vids are good. "I'd prefer if you call me by my true name... yim... lau... wong." Clunky game, excellent story, art and even the voice acting is fairly good.

Yeah, that was pretty much my experience too. Then I fired it up later on Switch and my experience was... .....exactly the same despite having plenty of experience at the game.

Oh you poor lad, Alien 3 the gun was awesome, the pulse rifle was massively chunky and firing off missiles with the side button was a joy. Pretty sure the gun vibrated too. Had it in a bowling alley my family used to go to. Hard as nails though it was an absolute coin muncher.

I think what a lot of people miss when they go back and look at games is how it was at the time. We didn't have all the quality of life improvements, quick saves, checkpoints etc. We were used to it. And even though I found Alien 3 frustrating as a kid, I always came back to it for another try. Games were generally shorter back then and not massive time investments, although some could be. Then there's the fact that games back then were also that... games... and not daily login quests or... ahem "services". You wanted to go back to them.

I was thinking it right before you said it, Mega Drive's (deal with it yankees!) Alien 3 had AWESOME music, the title screen slow dark intro, jamming tune afterwards, game over screen and the in game tracks were all stellar. And yes... it's better than the snes version. Come to terms with it!

Real endings and adding cutscenes in games started in the 1980's, but slowly became more widespread by the end of the 1980's and early 1990's. Still, some developers didn't care.

PC a mouse would be better

Yeah it's good but so much potential lost when it comes to freaking aiming the cross hair

My previous message last night didn’t go through but just wanted to say I’m rewatching this because your Metal Gear vids are great so far. Can’t wait until you talk about Twin Snakes cutscenes. Also you should start a D(scord (has to misspell because KZbin seems to delete messages with that in it. That way your subs can all get together and we can talk about the vids you make and possible future ones! :)

i bet 10 bucks there's a secret code for nudity in the game

I needed to rent it twice to finish it, hard at the time. Also anyone complaing about the Megadrive sound does not know what they are talking about ot only played crap American games. The other one life game I finished was Last Battle.

Will you ever do a review of Die Hard Trilogy and it’s sequel since you brought it up ;)

Looks like Space Hulk use the idea Aliens, the computer game bit too much because its like 30 years and SH is the hardest game eva... XD

“You ARE busting…….my, balls.”

Where we can find this game!!?

Isn't water being deadly a requirement for European platformers from the 16 and 32 bit era? I mean, drops of water are dangerous! Kinda makes you wonder if a fear of acid rain was sweeping across Europe in the 90's.

The NES version of Alien 3 does have completely distinct level designs and music, so although it has the same gameplay style as the Mega Drive/Master System/C64/Amiga, it’s not a port of the same game as those.

Clint Eastwood/Dirty Harry, Charles Bronson/Deathwish, Pam Grier/Cleopatra Jones, Roger Moore/ James Bond... Who is the white woman supposed to be referencing?

Awesome Game with music by Gryzor87 (maldita castilla, hydorah) ❤

I would love to see this game on the ATARI Jaguar and/or the VCS800. It looks superb.

So no Shaft missed opportunity

bury me with my money

Nah I reckon the zombie stage was an homage to Metal Slug 3 personally, I know what you mean though. And kudos on the algorithm bump!

Its nice effort, but Sadly its nowhere as good as sunset riders, which is my fav run n gun shooter ever...it has too many cheap deaths, unbalanced levels, bosses, and no way to disable "nude" parts to play with kids.

I'm definitely picking this up. I just wish the special edition was released on consoles.

what a video, well polished, well thought out, funny and best of all, informative, i keep looking at the sub count thinking there must be a mistake...

I love the game, but it would be more fun with an invincibility mode available given all the other options are there

Cool!

I don't know why KZbin recommended this video to me but I ain't mad one bit. Seems like a real cool game

Is this on consoles?? Where can I get it?? I loved Sunset Riders as a kid!

Deathwish is a love letter I give the dev credit.. it has that dirty harry version.

It looks like something I would have loved back when people came over to my house regularly and I'll get it soon. That said one thing I always wished for if they did a modern or near modern setting Sunset Riders time game was a couple of characters with full auto weapons by default. Give them smaller bullets and maybe less damage with the auto fire upgrade boosting their rate of fire to turbo. As it is I suspect I'll be using nothing but the Shotgun wielders just like I do in Sunset Riders.

So how do you unlock Bayou Billy?

If i saw this game in my mid 20's? Ooooooh BOY!

Dirty Duck should make a return as a boss in a new Metal Gear. Truly the epitome of legendary bosses.

Genuinely surprised with how many views this has gotten 0_0

This really seems to have a subtle style nod to elevator action and rolling thunder as well.
