Alien Trilogy (エイリアントリロジー) is a first person shooter created by Probe based on the Alien franchise. Originally set to be released on the Sega Mega-CD^[8] (in November 1994^[9]) and later Sega 32X^[10]^[11]^[12], development was moved to more capable platforms; the Sega Saturn, PlayStation and IBM PC, with a release in 1996.

Gameplay

Alien Trilogy is action-orientated first person shooter, loosely based on the first three Alien films; Alien (1979), Aliens (1986) and Alien 3 (1992). It stars series protagonist Ellen Ripley who has been sent to the planet LV426 to erradicate the Xenomorphs, taking her through an infested human colony, prison facility and finally the crashed ship from the first film.

Unlike the films, the entirity of the action takes place on LV426, with Ripley being a colonial marine. By contrast, in the first film she does not leave the mining ship Nostromo, and the third takes place on a different planet; Fiorina "Fury" 161.

Reportedly Alien Trilogy utilises only one of the Saturn's SH-2 processors^[13].
