Title: Featured Game 07.16.2007: Alien Syndrome Post by: OatBob on July 16, 2007, 02:31:01 PM Alien Syndrome
Console: NES Region: North America Year: 1989 RFG ID #: U-027-S-00310-A UPC: Publisher: Tengen Developer: Rating: N/A Genre: Shooter Sub-genre: Players: 1-2 Controller: Standard Controller Media Format: Cartridge Game Page Address: http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-027-S-00310-A (http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-027-S-00310-A) This year's mini-E3 was seriously lacking in the blasting-of-aliens department. Let us know what past alien video games you like.

That's the way I feel about it anyway. I haven't played the NES one nearly as much.

I've played the NES version once (maybe a few times?) It's an ok shooter. Title: Re: Featured Game 07.16.2007: Alien Syndrome Post by: nester on July 17, 2007, 02:21:26 PM Well the SMS version is everything an SMS version usually is. It is more colorful, difficult, non-linear, and interesting. The controller makes it more difficult though. It was the first SMS game I remember playing all that much, although one of those bosses (I think it's in level 5) is practically impossible and I've never been past it.

Title: Re: Featured Game 07.16.2007: Alien Syndrome Post by: DarthKur on July 18, 2007, 02:00:36 PM Well the one thing the NES version did better was the box art. Damn SMS box are sucks Yeah, there's really no comparison there. I never have understood why Sega chose to skimp in the box art department. I also thought it was lame that they usually gave the main character in the picture childlike features. I figure that was the age bracket they were targeting but I think it would've been much wiser to go the more artistic and mature route as is shown in the NES artwork. As for the game, I only have the SMS version. It's a fairly good shooter but it's a bit more difficult than I think it needed to be.
