The 'Alien' Game I've Waited 30 Years For | Nostalgia Nerd

Organism is the name of that game. Organism for the Commodore 64. It's a game soaked in Alien lore (or something akin to it), albeit without an official licence, and I'm here to play the living hell out of it. Along with a review, I'll be exploring the Alien films and how they fascinated me, along with an collector's box unboxing, featuring the Organism disk, along with a load of goodies and the accompanying soundtrack.

There's something wonderfully perverse about a game stored on Floppy coming with it's soundtrack on CD.

[@005AGIMA]

Outrun on ZX Spectrum came with the soundtrack on audio cassette. Of course, this resulted in a perfect soundtrack (not 8bit) seemingly coming through the computer. Genius!

[@todesziege]

Cory Smith: Yes, but "nobody" had a CD player that early.

[@JVerschueren]

todesziege Ahem! Only piece of tech I bought as soon as it became available.

[@todesziege]

Jan Verschueren: Hence the quote marks around "nobody". ;)

[@karaokehammick5215]

CD's and their players were far too expensive for most people when they initially came out. Most including myself waited until the early 90's to make the transition.

[@daedalus2253]

To see a users manual. How I miss reading those on the car ride home as a kid for a new game

[@satan3959]

Unless you're talking about budget games. Most of those didn't have user manuals...except for a brief message telling you that you need to type in Load "*",8,1. LOL

[@billant2]

It was definitely a unique and exciting experience back then... I can vividly remember unboxing games, smelling the fresh ink on its contents, and totally immersed myself in the experience. Ahh the good 'ol days... Also, you guys may recall, that back in the 80s and early 90s, there were a lot of games released based on the movies.... that was just so cool. :)

[@badkluster]

I think every new Alien movie makes the previous one better

[@DVSUte]

Just NO

[@DVSUte]

There's a movie called "Rakka" look it up watch it, i'm sure Milla Jovovich narrates it BUT Sigourney Weaver asked to be in it . . .that should tell you something (also lead was a man but they gave it to her. . .)

[@anelectricheart3101]

So let me get this straight... this isn't a retro game you've only just discovered... this is a brand new title for Commodore 64 released in 2018?

[@vietnamd0820]

An Electric Heart No...these are games that existed decades ago...I remember playing the Aliens game back when it came out

[@vietnamd0820]

An Electric Heart I stand corrected...Organism is, shockingly, a new C64 game

[@ctw195]

@ I had no idea.

[@jamesthompson6557]

@@ctw195 Seriously? I guess you have to be a retro gamer to come across these things. Every month there are several new ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Commodore Vic 20, Commodore 16, Commodore Pet, Amstrad CPC, Atari 8 bit computers, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, MSX, TRS 80, Tandy Color Computer etc etc games released... the majority are on the C64 and ZX Spectrum though. Many are released free to download, some a digital purchase and others get a full release with manual, box etc either on disk, cassette or cartridge - sometimes all three. Some even come in fancy packaging with loot etc - check out games like Sams Journey on the C64 etc. In fact, for the past couple of years I find myself buying more games for 8 bit systems of the 80's than PS4, Switch and Xbox One games.... and in many cases enjoying them more.

[@ctw195]

@@jamesthompson6557 that really blows my mind. I don't see how it would be profitable to continue making these games but then again, I don't know the current number of people who still purchase C64 and other old computer games. Do they still sell Overlord? I LOVED that game when I was a kid.

[@yorkshireteafan]

I remember trying to recreate those computer interfaces in Basic on my Spectrum +2. Glad I'm not the only one lol

[@DoveEnigma13]

A new game for Commodore 64? Wow. That is amazing

[@DanielS2001]

You should play Alien: Isolation. You'll definitely like it.

[@RoyBasty]

I agree, it's one of the best SEGA gems since the turn of the century. The atmosphere and pacing are incredible.

[@OpenMawProductions]

He mentions it near the end of the video. "It's not Alien Isolation." Tells me he liked it pretty gewwd.

[@Chasqui4021]

Cannot complete that game. Have scared myself shitless playing that game.

[@Virtualblueart]

German Aviation - Totally, decided to replay it recently in hard and had to pause to catch my breath at certain points. .

[@Stephen-xn7bt]

Should try Alien Isolation in VR

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

I tell you what. That "Alien" game, the one that was basically a real time game where you had to move your crew around the ship, fight the Alien, or get them off the ship, that game, to this day, is the closest that we've gotten to recreating the movie. And it does a damn good job. It really does re-create the movie perfectly (with the C64's limitations of course.). But the game is more of a pure and very abstract, real time strategy game, which a lot of people used to more.. let's face it, more arcade style stuff or more modern games, might not be looking for in a game. It's more like a computer board game with an invisible opponent and a fog of war. And as a board wargamer, I took to this game like a fish to water. My friends, however, I could never get to play it. But, to this day, that game still is the one that most faithfully captures the movie. It's the only one that really does.

[@999jay999]

I loved that game !

[@crusader2.0_loading89]

Yeah.. Had it on my Amstrad .. Used to scare the crap out of me when the alien turned up... Somehow seemed even more scary when played at night with lights out

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

Oh man. That's exactly how I used to play it, and the best way TO play it. Lights out. The only light coming from the screen. The sound of the heartbeats of the crew. Thump thump thump thump. They get faster and faster. You need to get them to repair that damage in that engine room. Ripley needs to catch that cat. Brett just found Dallas's body. Thumpthumpthumpthump! ... and.. "WOOOOO WOOOO WOOOO WOOOO WOOOO WOOOO WOOOOO WOOOO WOOOO!!!!!" I know exactly what you mean. Haha! That game made me tip over in my chair quite a few times. And the funny thing is, probably if kids today would watch a video of a let's play of it on KZbin nowadays, they just wouldn't understand or get that same "feel". You really have to be playing it and really have to be "In the moment" with that game. It's like a really intense real-time strategy boardgame with excellent escalating tension, and jumpscares. I don't know if kids today would understand this game or it would have the same effect as it had on us. But I've tried every new "Alien" game that's ever been made including "Isolation" and they ALL pale in comparison to the original C64 "Alien" for recreating the feel of the original movie for me. Maybe it's because I'm an old man. Haha!

[@crusader2.0_loading89]

@@BlackburnBigdragon yeah.. When that tracker thing would start making a noise and I had my crew spread out searching for the cat, what was it's name... Jones...? . Adrenaline rush...

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

I might have to break out my C64 emulator and run a game of it tonight for old time sake now. I haven't played that game in years and now I'm really starting to want to.

[@mobilesnapper79]

I wonder how many kids saw the story in the booklet and thought why well that's all we had back then. You bought the game and read the booklet on the way home and that set up the entire game for us.

[@irina1296]

Alien: Isolation, Alien 3 and Alien Trilogy are still my favorite Alien games. This movie series is my all-time favourite. I even love A|lien 3 as much as first 2 films. Resurrection was still fun. Prometheus and Covenant were watchable

[@jurredevries8763]

shoot i watch covenant saw the trailer in cinema and looked way too much cgi

[@jkajmo]

Same, i am obsessed with the franchise and is my fav too. My fav games are Alien 3 (SNES) & Alien Resurrection (PS1) I have a huge collection of Alien stuff & as an artist I paint tons of Alien themes.

[@InsertDiskB]

Very nice, the overall design is very reminiscent of Project Firestart.

[@rasz]

Wow, just watched a playthrough and Im blown away. How have I never heard about this game, Dynamix/Electronic Arts and I missed it :o

It was my first thought while watching Nerd's review. I never played Project Firestart, but read about it in polish magazine Commodore & Amiga. As far I remember Firestart was disk only, and I've never had disk drive (well, I have 1541-II today, but it still need some work). It is time to finish my Pi1541 and start playing ;)

[@GnocchiTV]

Aliens on the C64 was one of my favorite games. I was in the middle of making my own Alien game in Basic but my beloved Commodore died before I could finish.

[@Absolynth]

RIP

[@fezmasterjon]

I did exactly the same thing when i saw Alien at an inappropriate age - taught myself BASIC to try and reproduce "Mother"

That was ace. Long live commodore

[@C64Queeg500]

Great to see the good old C64 back in the news

[@nbbristol]

I had no idea games were still being published like this for the C64. The effort they've gone to with posters, badges etc... is pretty astonishing given it's a redundant format that's decades old!

[@retrovertigoes]

Wonderful review. The work being done by those guys is nothing short of astonishing.

[@EmeraldLavigne]

Flashback .. i had the Alien game for the ZX Spectrum 😉

[@BSzili]

The animation of the characters looks very nice! Those tentacles are wiggling around in an unnerving fashion.

[@Tony-1971]

Nice looking game. Wish i still had the old C64.

[@KennethDPedersen]

Wow, the ship level layout is super close to Paradroid!

[@005AGIMA]

I had my ankle grabbed by an actual alien from aliens. Not even kidding. I went to "Alien Wars" in London. Was AWESOME! FOr those who don't know what it was, it was a short lived tourist attraction where you were guided through a "facility" by a "Marine" and of course, all hell breaks loose. Strobes flicker, and the aliens attack. The suits and much of the "set" was made from an actual collection of movie props collected by the owner of the business.

[@iRDaBrit]

Good lord that side deck view was ripped straight from Paradroid :) What an awesome game! Makes me want to buy another C64 again.

[@billant2]

Don't procrastinate, Emulate!! ;) Or just buy the real deal, and celebrate! xD

[@dubiouslycrisp]

$129 pre-order on Amazon for Nov 5, 2020. A month and a half from now. It's a full size C64 with the integrated keyboard. www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B08GMTJYXJ/#ace-7490313277

[@Datan0de]

This looks very cool! I spent a lot of hours back in the day playing the Alien and Aliens (Activision) games on my C-64. May need to pick this up to go along with them. Also, I was convinced I was the only person who'd ever heard of the Alien game! Glad to see it's not forgotten. I can still recite the crew of the Nostromo from memory because of it.

[@drspod]

That deluxe edition fills me with envy. They sure don't make 'em like they used to! Or.. wait.. I guess they do! Great work Psytronik!

[@RapideWombaticus]

I watch Alien Theory too... Grew up using a Commodore 64 and Aliens was in my collection - on Cassette of course. Great video and Good Day to you Sir 😎

[@Horzuhammer]

Love your choice of joystick for the video. Might not be the greatest thing to play with, but thematically it's spot on: you'll not be likely to find a more industrial looking handle for your 8-bits.

[@stevencarlson5422]

That is so awesome wish I had that game back in the day !!!

[@Absolynth]

Alien: Isolation is my favorite survival horror game of all time to this day, and will likely hold that reputation for a long time to come. Everytime I put it on the atmosphere and tension coupled with the unpredictable AI simply melts away the borders of the screen and I'm completely immersed.

[@darthbukowski6894]

I always enjoy your videos! I miss the days of playing games on 5 1/4 floppy’s. My memories of loading up Oregon Trail come rushing back with this video.

[@BckDrBOYES]

This looks brilliant. Great atmosphere!

[@ridbensdale]

I love that sets from Alien|Aliens were used on Ref Dwarf. Great video as always 😊

[@ridbensdale]

@Harry Warburg Yep, and Red Dwarf was inspired by the film Dark Star, which starred the Alien co-creator Dan O'Bannon.

[@medes5597]

Yup. Red Dwarf is full of these little things. Sets from other sci-fi films shot at Pinewood, lines borrowed from other things, and so on. I find it so weird Red Dwarf never caught on that much outside of the UK. I mean in one way it's a good thing because they never ruined it with that movie they were shopping around, but it's still a shame.

[@enigma776]

They did try twice to make a US version which failed on its arse...twice.

[@argosharru]

It was quite popular in the Czech Republic in late 90s or so, I remember the only reason I had to look forward to school was meeting my friends and talking about the Dwarf episode airing the evening before :D

[@srtgrayfrance]

I thought it was Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the BBC TV version) which used old Alien sets.

[@Immorpher]

The game looks really fun! I wonder if they could do a stand-alone steam/gog release eventually without having to download a separate emulator?

[@2HeadedHero]

[@scunnerdarkly4929]

Nobody had disk drives? I did, I worked my arse off in 1984 washing dishes in a local pub to raise £145 during the summer holidays as Rumbelows were selling their stock off cheap. All distant memories now, especially Rumbelows, but I'll never forget the joy of seeing a floppy drive take as long as a turbo-loader cassette to load a game. The exception to this was Lucas Arts' Koronis Rift (sequel to Rescue on Fractalus), which employed some kind of techno-voodoo to make disk loading *faster* than tape. When I say faster, it really was impressively fast, and while it made the drive sound like it was infested by woodpeckers the game genuinely loaded in seconds. Now that's one for the collection...

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

The thought that there are companies still producing software AND hardware for these old systems puts a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart. Glad to see that there is still enough interest/demand that these companies can even exist. There are even brand new games for the Atari 2600/VCS being released! Awesome news.

Electric Dreams version of Aliens was amazing in capturing the mood of the film. You'd send people to different parts of the colony only to have a character under attack while you were removing the threat to another. That sense of tension is something I would not feel from a film tie in until Alien Isolation.

Try ''Alien Demon'' for the Commodore VIC 20, this is based on the original Alien film. You will need a map of the ship to play the game (I can sort this for you if needed). One of the items you need to find within the game is a cat just like the film, Ripley's cat called Jonesy. The game is playable on keyboard only but is very cool in a basic way. I played this game when I was a kid, I've recently revisited the game using emulators years later after missing the game so much ;)

[@emmettturner9452]

You keep saying that the game nails the atmosphere but really that’s all just the packaging and presentation outside of the game. If the game throws you in with “immediate goals” and “immediate threats” then it is a fundamentally different atmosphere to Alien. It’s also strange to hear the ship repeatedly being called “silent” when it’s literally crawling with face huggers and xenomorph doppelgängers. It’s one of those things that feels good and sounds good to say in a review like this even though it’s fundamentally contradictory to reality. Not saying it’s a bad game or anything. Looks pretty sweet, actually!
