Alien Soldier (エイリアンソルジャー) is a Mega Drive game developed by Treasure and published by Sega in 1995. It was one of the few Mega Drive games to be released in Japan and Europe, but not North America (however it was made available briefly through the Sega Channel service), and is now considered an extremely rare collectors item. It has since been re-released for the Wii's Virtual Console service, as well as being released as part of the Sega Ages Treasure Box disc for the PlayStation 2.

According to developer interviews, the game was released half-finished due to Mega Drive market collapsing.[16]

In the same year an album was released.

Versions

  • Like many other similar games, PAL release music and sound speed were optimized for 50hz while the gameplay speed wasn't optimized, running slower than it should.
  • Some minor changes to the European version of the game were made, like the removal of the catchphrase "VISUALSHOCK! SPEEDSHOCK! SOUNDSHOCK! NOW IS THE TIME TO THE 68000 HEART ON FIRE!"
