The aliens are friendly share much of their new technology with the human
race. Then the aliens began to become hostile. They left Earth in order to
unite their alien military forces against us.
Earth is now forced to use this new technology against the aliens in
a fight to save our planet and our way of life. Among this technology is the
X-12 “MegaCannon”.
You, as the operator of the cannon, must join in this fight by
kicking is much alien butt as you can before you kick the bucket. You are
armed with only your plasma cannons and your wits. Your cannon features
360 degree rotation and a 90 degree raisable barrel. You start out with 100%
shields, but when your shields are gone, so are you. The aliens have some
unknown weapon that they like to shoot alot and will probably hit you alot
with to. Each hit lowers your shields five percent.
The aliens have battle plans to attack the area where you are
stationed five times. If you can ward off five increasingly diffucult waves
of attack, you will save many innocent women and children, probably recieve
a metal of honor in the future, and maybe even a hefty cash bonus allowing you
to retire when you tour of duty ends. Good Luck. (You’ll need it . . . ?)
Another thing that really makes Aliens enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Aliens. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
