Alien 8

Alien8 is a game by software house "Ultimate Play the Game".

Coming out much later than the previous Alien 8 games, this is the only conversion of the game to come in a double plastic case.

The game is most similar to the Spectrum version, not surprising really as the machine suffered more than a few straight Sinclair ports, it looks and sounds much the same.

The idea of the game is to guide your trusty robot around a series of rooms, inside a giant space ship, looking for keys, that have shapes, such as squares, triangles and spheres. Once in the robots possession, they can be taken to rooms with activation units of the same shape, that are full of Cryonauts to reactivate their chambers, and save their lives.

The rooms are full of traps and robots, like clockwork mice, which must be solved and avoided to reach anyone of up to four exits. There is also limited time before the ship crashes into a planet, Rescue all the Cryonauts, and they will land the ship, the game is then complete, fail, and all is lost.
