Play Alien 3 (Europe) on snes Online

You're Ripley sprinting through claustrophobic corridors, flamethrower in hand, as xenomorphs burst through walls—every pixel oozes that same desperate panic from the film. The controls fight you a little, but that just makes nailing a perfect flame burst on a lunging alien even sweeter.

Game Overview

If you've seen the Alien 3 movie, you already know the vibe—dark, desperate, and crawling with Xenomorphs. The SNES version throws you straight into that nightmare, no warm-up. You play as Ripley, armed with whatever weapons you can scavenge (flamethrowers feel especially satisfying), sprinting through dim corridors while aliens drop from vents or burst through walls. The soundtrack nails that eerie, metallic hum from the films, and the levels feel like a maze you’re barely surviving, not conquering.

It’s tough—like, "throw-your-controller" tough at times—but there’s something weirdly addictive about the panic of hearing skittering claws behind you. The pixel art captures the movie’s grimy aesthetic, and the aliens move in unpredictable ways, so you never feel safe. Not the most polished SNES title, but if you want a ‘90s action game that actually makes you feel like you’re in an Alien flick, this is as close as it gets. Just don’t blame me when you die in the first five minutes.
