Even for 1989 standards this was just average.

Had a quick go on this one. Love the interface, how the item/play screen swap and how you interact with the items that way. It's super intuitive. Other than that, the game is rather tedious due to the technical limitations of back then. Being used to roam around freely in 3D, it's annoying to move forward, turn 90 degrees, wait for the game to load when using a ladder, turn 90 degrees... If you have the patience, I'm sure the game is interesting.

Hm... Good action, "FPS" game. DM in space, Alien's feeling.

Another good one I missed 'back then'. I remember noticing it though, guess it was the missing automap that drove me off.
Nowadays, with a little more patience and considerably more gaming experience it looks very interesting and made me feel 'immersed' immediately.
Sure, the graphics look dated but they're still getting the job done. This 'Beholder in Space with Aliens' thingie is a runner-up on my 'must-play-soon' list.

This was a great game. I compeltely agree the atmosphere was awesome, very intense and frightening... Most atmpospheric game I have ever played.
I could not finish it becaiuse upon saving I got the wrong disk in and overwrited disk 2!!! I remember I was down in the mines, and there was no way I coudl kill an alien with a fly type head!

BTW, I loved the mines! You placed them on the ground, then make the big crab follow you and step over the gravity mine to be completely squashed!!! And what abot that bomb that followed objectives by itself, and then later you found it running around the level!

Fine space adventure. Sound and graphics could've been better, same applies to the handling: the disk swapping can be really annoying. But the game keeps you entertained for hours! (80%)

Awesome game, took me many, many hours to complete the damn thing. Very difficult to navigate without a set of grid paper alongside you.

The Alies boss is a big octopus-type thing in a tank, only the heavy weapons you find down below - like the rocket launcher - are useful in taking him down.

I believe this was the first game I played to really scare the pants off me. There's a thick atmosphere of suspense and dread that seems to hang over this game. Not dissimilar to System Shock 2. Yes it could be that scary. It looks dated now of course but at the time, wandering around those earily quiet deserted corridors waiting for something huge to lumber around a corner at me, really freaked me out.

On of the games I had as an original! The atmosphere is very claustrophobic and fearsome. I've made it to the bottom level of that mining station but it was so hard down there that I always got killed before I could reach the alien boss.

This graphics for this game (by Terry Greer) were originally intended for a game to be published by Rainbird, called "Lasers & Labyrinths". More info can be found on my website at [www].
