ALIEN 3: THE GUN - 1994 MAME FULL LIGHTGUN GAME!

Alien 3: The Gun is a 1994 arcade lightgun shooter developed by Sega, released in the same year as the film Alien 3. The game is set aboard the Sulaco, the spaceship from Aliens, and features two players using cabinet-mounted light guns to shoot waves of Xenomorphs. The gameplay involves targeting and eliminating aliens with a crosshair, using the attached guns to blast them until they are dead. Players are also given a limited number of grenades to use during intense moments. The game diverges from the film's plot, replacing Ripley with two unnamed Colonial Marines sent to investigate an SOS signal from the Sulaco. It is visually distinct from other games of its era, featuring 3D polygonal graphics that were advanced for the time, placing it in a quality range between the Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast. The game is part of a broader trend of colourful, stylized Alien games from the early 1990s, influenced by Japanese design and the franchise's expansion into toys and comics. #alien3 #arcadegames #retrogaming
