Alien 3 is a run and gun game that plays like Alien Syndrome, the game was released on multiple consoles - fair - it is not an "underrated Genesis" game, but rather an underrated game initially released on Amiga and Sega Genesis, later ported to other systems, the Genesis version is the best version of this Probe Software original, usually known for their port of Mortal Kombat and many other arcade games such as Super Smash TV on the Mega Drive. The game has a European feel to it, mainly for its emphasis on collecting items and non-linear level design, you are on a timer to rescue each "prisoner" and find the escape route, equipped with a machine gun and a radar to detect surrounding aliens, many other weapons can be found throughout each level, such as grenades, a rocket launcher or a fire thrower. The game features no bosses, rather a collection of challenging levels up to the very end, ending with a credit sequence thanking you for playing the game - so very European.
