However, you can finish the levels without finishing any of these objectives: just head to the exit and get on the elevator. These range from killing all Aliens in sight, to collecting identity tags, activating elevators, and others. The graphics are only passable: the aliens and wall textures pixelate horribly when you get too close, and sometimes it's hard to distinguish the scenery from the objects you can interact with.Īt the beginning of each level you are given an objective. The first part takes place in the colony from the movie, the second in the prison colony taken from Alien 3, and the third and final part takes place in the alien ship full of nasty eggs that we all remember so well from the first movie.Īlthough released a few years after DOOM, Alien Trilogy is much more like DOOM than contemporary games like Quake or Duke Nukem 3D.
