Gameplay

Based on the 1992 film Alien 3, Sega’s Alien3: The Gun is a cooperative light gun shooter released in 1993. Two players work together to fend off hordes of xenomorphs within familiar environments from the movie, using their light guns to target and eliminate the alien threat. The game runs on Sega's System 32 hardware and offers an immersive experience for fans of both the Alien franchise and classic arcade shooters. Gameplay involves navigating various levels while constantly battling waves of enemies. Players must prioritize targets and manage their ammunition effectively to survive increasingly challenging encounters. A public service announcement screen, either displaying "Winners Don't Use Drugs" or “Recycle It, Don’t Trash It!”, appears periodically in the US version. Originally released in Japan in September 1993, Alien3: The Gun provides a straightforward and intense shooter experience for two players seeking an arcade challenge rooted in science fiction horror.
