Alien Storm (エイリアンストーム) is a 1990 beat 'em up game released by Sega Enterprises, Ltd. for Sega System 18 hardware (supposedly the second game for that platform).

Story

When aliens invade earth, it's up to a special forces team known as the "Alien Busters," to get rid of them.

Gameplay

Alien Storm is very similar in nature to Sega's earlier title, Golden Axe, though sports a futuristic setting and occasional bonus rounds, and the pace of play is much faster.

Playable characters

Alien Storm has three playable characters, however for unknown reasons their appearance and names differ between ports and regional variants of the game.

	Gordon/Garth (ゴードン)
	Cook of the Alien Burger when not killing xenos. Uses a lightning gun (or an oversized taser) as a main weapon. Also uses a rocket launchers (which he hilariously fires point blank range) and a machine pistol. Also punches or stomps on aliens as attack animations. In the Master System version he uses what manual calls a "Fire Blazer", a flamethrower. His special weapon is a futuristic US Air Force fighter which strafes the screen with energy weapons. (In the Master System version he uses Karla's special weapon.)
	Karla/Karen (カーラ)
	Karla is missing from the Master System version. Karla takes orders in Alien Burger van. She uses a flamethrower as her main weapon. She also uses a heavy caliber pistol as a part of her attack animation. Her special weapon is a ballistic missile. (Which for some reason does not obliterate the city they are in.)
	Scooter (スクーター) / Slammer
	The overseas Master System versions of the game rename this character "Slammer". Scooter acts as the waiter of the Alien Burgers. He (It?) uses an energy whip as a main weapon. His other weapons include: ankle machineguns, wrist guns and very short range back mortar. In his special attack he self-destructs while leaving only his head. A replacement body runs along and grabs the head, re-attaching it to his body. (Majority of the Alien Hunters' budget must be spent on Scooter's replacement frames.)

History

Legacy

Alien Storm was ported to a variety of platforms, including the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Sega Master System and ZX Spectrum, most of which being released in 1991.

Versions

Master System version

On the Master System, Alien Storm is a one-player only game.

Commodore 64 version

The Commodore 64 version was produced by Tiertex, and like other home ports of the game, only allows two players on screen at any given time (and to save on memory, both players control the same character). Introduction sequences were cut to save space, while some sections of the game were altered to reduce the impact of multi-loading (i.e. having to load data from the cassette mid-play)^[10].

Tiertex used Atari STs to program the C64 game^[10], but relied on Amiga computers for the graphics. For the Commodore 64 version, all sprites were re-drawn by hand, using ripped sprites from the arcade board as guidelines^[10], while the backgrounds were converted through a bespoke Amiga program^[10].

Music was composed on a synthesizer, imported to an Atari ST with help from the system's built-in MIDI ports, and then adjusted for use with the Commodore 64^[10].

Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum versions

The Amstrad and Spectrum versions, also produced by Tiertex, are largely the same game, however the Spectrum is played in monochrome with higher resolution graphics. Neither feature in-game music.
