Alien3: The Gun (Japan)

Alien 3: The Gun is a rail shooter in which the player uses a large light gun, modeled after the M41A Pulse Rifle featured in Aliens, to kill various Alien creatures such as facehuggers and soldiers, unlike the film, which featured only three Aliens (including a facehugger, an alien runner and a queen chestburster). The player controls a US Colonial Marine who is tasked with reaching the prison colony featured in the film, in order to rescue prisoners who are under attack by the Aliens. The game is played across seven levels, and features various boss enemies, including a giant facehugger. Power-ups, such as a flamethrower, are available to the player throughout the game.

One or two players can take the role of a pair of United States Colonial Marines in an altered version of the film's storyline. The action begins with an escape from the spaceship Sulaco before proceeding to the surface of Fiorina 'Fury' 161, where players must Take Down hordes of Aliens as well as an army of Weyland-Yutani Corporation troops sent to retrieve specimens by any means necessary. Levels are based on sets from the film and take players through the Mess Hall, Infirmary, Lead Works and more. The game ends when the players defeat the unidentified man, only to be met with more troops, who soon Open Fire at them.
