Alien 3 film adaptation as an action-platformer. The claustrophobic atmosphere of the space prison is well conveyed. Difficult but engaging for franchise fans.

Collector interest

Arena's Game Gear Alien 3 never received an official US release and sits within the Japanese and European catalogue, which makes the pressing handled here genuinely hard to assemble complete. The steep loose and CIB figures stem from a modest run on a tightly controlled Fox licence. For the collector the appeal lies in real cartridge scarcity rather than the game's reputation, which is usually overshadowed by the 16-bit ports.
