Alien 3 corridor platform adaptation with timed survivor rescues. Decent dark atmosphere and stiff controls. Honest for film fans, frustrating for others.

Collector interest

The Japanese release of Alien 3 on Game Boy stands apart for its scarcity: shipped in English on a market where the film licence held little traction, it saw a thin print run. Japanese pricing far exceeds the Western editions, reflecting demand from collectors of Acclaim horror licences on 8-bit rather than any consensus on the game's own merits.
