What?! A console game?! 

Oh, yeah. A survival horror shooter on the Playstation 1. Some of you might have played this, and if you did, you are not alone. There is help. You can recover.

This is one I've wanted to make a video on since the beginning. The time was right, especially since about six months ago I found out you can play it with a mouse! Maybe you've seen the infamous GameSpot review talking about the controls:

And also this Eurogamer retrospective with a lot of pertinent info:

Either way, the game is a tightly designed bad time. As James Cameron once called Aliens "40 miles of bad road," this game is at least better than the movie it's based on. 

Here's hoping we don't get immediate copyright strikes from [checks notes] Disney? Oh god, Disney owns Alien now. That is... unsettling.

If you'd like to have a different name in the credits than what you pledged with, leave me a comment, or DM me on here or Twitter or discord or whatever. If your name is wrong, not included, or anything else, 

shoot me a message calling me an asshole and telling me to fix it. 

Or if you want one of those fancy colored names that everyone gets now if they want. The credits in the video are usually a couple of days behind the actual patron list.

This game is shit hot. Same as Alien Trilogy on the PS1 and Saturn.

I'm still so fuckin' happy that the intro is back.

I can't deal with how nice this game looks. It's like a fine rembrandt painting that fires poison darts into your neck.

Never played Resurrection. I remember the movie being atrocious and it kinda killed interest in the game. I remember cheating my way through the later half of Alien Trilogy on the PS1. I also remember it scaring the absolute shit out of me when I first played it at the ripe old age of 8.

Oh I remember reading that review at some point! It always makes me laugh cause of the bad call on the controls and the Colonial Marines mention. It's like articles from the past that called things like the internet or TV or cameras in cellphones just passing fads that weren't gonna stick around, shit like that is hilarious in retrospect.

I love that cancer mouse might be dead, but ya can still class it up with american war crime drone strike jokes.

Honestly in the next few years Disney is probably going to be a fully international deus ex like mega monopoly so robotically automated that even it's current heads will be powerless to quench its thirst for assimilation

Thanks, Civvie, this is a video I've wanted for ages now. And oh, God, that old yellow EB Games sticker really took me back.

Facehuggers are the scariest shit ever. I got no problem with the Shining, Alien is much worse for me. I had AvP on PC, one of them old big boxes, couldn't play the marine campaign. Another great episode Civvie! PS: Thanks for changing my name, but you can remove my old name (filip nygren)

@papa_hotel yes, the marine campaign in AvP 1 is extra hard with all these aliens spawning everywhere. Pred and Alien were much easier

Many a broken Controller... Goddamn the memories.

I never touched the console Alien or Predator games, but I wasted a good two years of my life playing AvP2 on PC as a teenager. Fuck that game was fun.

This is one of my favorite videos as of late, interesting too as I was previously unfamiliar with this game.
