SCREENSHOTS




STORY

Lieutenant Ripley returns to the planet LV-426 with a squad of Colonial Marines in order to find out what’s happened to the colonists working there. It is your task to control her and the squad to penetrate the base and rescue the survivors, if there are any…

As darkness descends, Alien warriors enter the base where you and your companions are waiting. Nervously flicking the safety catches off your smart guns, you advance...


OVERVIEW

LV-426 is a remake of an old first-person shooter game called 'Aliens', published by Electric Dreams in 1987 for the following platforms: Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and MSX. The game is based on the second movie in the Alien movie series.

The action takes place in first-person perspective, with you seeing the view through the helmet camera of Ripley and the Marines. You move the crosshair of your pulse rifle to track the aliens or turn around in a room, with the camera following the gunsight.

I've tried to keep the remake as faithful as possible, but there are a few changes here and there, plus updated graphics and of course a split screen mode allowing two players to play cooperatively. Other changes include a minimap that makes navigation a lot easier. The remake also includes music from the Amstrad version of the game.

Some parts of the game, such as room positions, colors and wall tiles, are exactly the same as in the original game. In fact, if you happen to have a map of the original game, it is still perfectly suitable for the remake.
