Play Alien 3 (Europe) Online – Nintendo (NES) Game

Game Overview

Alien 3 for the NES drops you right into the heart of the iconic sci-fi horror universe—with no mercy and no second chances. Based on the 1992 film, this side-scrolling action game throws you into the role of Ellen Ripley as she battles through a maximum-security prison overrun by Xenomorphs. Unlike the slower tension of the movies, this one’s all about fast-paced combat, tight platforming, and a constant sense of dread as aliens swarm from every vent and shadow. The moody, industrial visuals and eerie soundtrack nail the Alien vibe, even if the difficulty might have you sweating more than Ripley in a nest of facehuggers.

What makes this game stand out? It’s a brutal but rewarding challenge, blending run-and-gun action with just enough strategy—you’ll need to rescue prisoners, manage limited ammo, and outsmart the AI’s relentless attacks. Compared to other Alien games of the era, it’s more arcade-style than pure survival horror, but that just means adrenaline-pumping fun. Nostalgic fans will appreciate its faithfulness to the film’s grim atmosphere, even if the NES hardware limits the terror. Just don’t blame us when you start hearing those skittering alien sounds in your sleep…
