AVGN Episode 114: Alien 3 (NES)\r
\r
In 1992 horror movie fans were introduced to the third installment in the Alien movie franchise, Alien 3. With director David Fincher taking over for James Cameron, the film was a box office flop, as even Alien novelist Alan Dean Foster along with Cameron and actor Michael Biehn expressed their frustration with the films story which fans were also not impressed. Subtract one attractive attribute in having Sigourney Weaver return in her role as Ellen Ripley, the movie pretty much sucks. The NES game has a remarkably similar description. \r
Made by the notorious LJN, Alien 3 for the Nintendo Entertainment System is incredibly difficult. The screen does not keep up with the action, the A and B buttons are opposite of what they are in most games, there is a time limit that is practically impossible to defeat and there are teases throughout the game for one-ups and items that ARE impossible to get. If thats not enough, most of the characters are unidentifiable and most of the action in the game has little to absolutely nothing to do with the film. If thats not enough, one James makes it through this horrendous pile of goat puke, the payoff is less than memorable. The game doesnt even get the ending right. It has NOTHING to do with the movie. If you want to understand the real reason why Ellen Ripley jumped to her death at the end of the film, it was probably because she was told she would have to either play this game or die. She made the sane choice and chose the latter.\r
