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.
