Aliens PC game?

Post by fedexin »

Hi,

I'm trying to remember the name of an Aliens PC game that was reminiscent of X-COM. It came out around '94-'95, anyone remember it?

No official Aliens licensed game exists with the criteria that you described. Maybe you're asking about Team17's Alien Breed?

X-COM Clones I only know of the "AfterX" series (Aftershock, Aftermath) and UFO: Extraterrestrials. Both are mediocre games but I heard that you can make ET really good with a mod.

I remember seeing a screenshot for an isometric view RPG in PC Gamer way back when, and the recent cancellation of the new Aliens RPG project just sparked my interest again. It was probably for an ill-fated project.

Thanks for the ideas!
