Damn that start up music is the angelic ring of my childhood. It’s like a zen bell that brings you back into reality. Like opening up a door to another world. PlayStation days were just entrancing… I miss the mystique.
"I miss the mystique" I bought this game when I was 13 and I spent the entire train ride home from the city reading the manual before I could finally play it - and when I did finally play it, I didn't stop until a month later when I had finished it. This whole fiasco just happened to come at a time when my region experienced an unseasonable amount of rain and grey skies so it was like fate was on my side. I'm pretty sure the main reason I was so enthralled with this game was 'the mystique', as you put it. It was like the entire universe was conspiring to make this game more alluring.
I remember borrowing this game when I got my PS in 1998. Played it through overnight. Great atmosphere. That soundtrack is still on my phone. Timeless.
Yea this is one of those "take you right back" ones for me too. This, and Space Hulk (squad based horror) were some of the 1st true 3D FPS's we'd seen so its fondly remembered. Another seriously tense & atmospheric oldskool semi-related FPS is the Atari Jaguar version (possibly an exclusive) of Alien Vs Predator. If any pseudo-3D FPS could claim to frighten, it was AVP on the Jag! IIRC, like Trilogy, AVP had a good OST too, but then I guess a lot of PS1 games did!
I remember playing this, Fade to Black, Resident Evil and Dino Crisis for the first time...... So Atmospheric and engaging. Have to mention Syphon Filter as well.
I had this game .. for me I couldn't believe I had this at anytime I liked in my bedroom ...the PS1 was brilliant at the time ..the music is amazing too
I've completed it on easy a few times but that's still proper hard, especially the last 4 or 5 levels. I'd imagine on normal or hard it will be near impossible to complete.
If you have a PC they have a doom 2 mod called alien eradication that uses alot of stuff from this game like models, soundtrack etc and it's brilliant!! Well worth a look 👌
I remember all the weekend and full nights when I used to play the fabulous trilogy !! So incredible to think about all gaming pleasure so simples game could give us at the time... good old time !
One of my favourite ever games on PS 1, still go back every now and again and play it again from the start, brilliant soundtrack with genuine eerie atmosphere, great video ❤️👍
The first playstation game I ever played. Never even heard of a playstation. My best mates dad bought one. My mate said you gotta see this. I was blown away. Games on CD!!! We were blown away. Still got my ps1 2 3 4 and now 5. In my mind the PS2 will always be the best. First online play. But Aliens scared the shit outta me. Best game ever.
When I was about 7/8 I was gifted a PS1 - about the most expensive thing I was ever gifted throughout my childhood. It came with Final Fantasy VII, Alien Trilogy, and I think Tomb Raider III. I remember being TERRIFIED of this game, but it arguably helped start me love affair with the games that it ripped off. Although, even years later when I replayed it, it managed to retain a very creepy atmosphere. Also, I never got past the level with all the Alien handler robots in white and the masses of acid pits! I could never kill enough enemies despite thinking I'd covered the whole map.
Used to play this game on a Satuday, after going out Friday night and hitting it hard. Was amazing, scarey. This, Tenchu and Abs Oddsey, MGS, Crash and Colin Mcray were my favourites.
great game, shame they didnt include ripleys voice acting when she gets injured, the pc version she says things like "gotta get out of here" and "thats all you got!?"
What I love about these games (and the Jaguar AvP game) is that there is no one constantly talking in your ear and telling you what to do. It really adds to the feeling of being truly alone in this horrible place. The way more cinematic newer Aliens and AvP games kind of ruin this by having the player constantly talk to someone in a control room or meeting other soldiers etc.
PlayStation 1 games man... One of the best era 's for game soundtracks! I remember a couple games had 'hidden ' soundtracks too, like Loaded. When I was trying to get the music working with ePSXe, I did something wrong and ended up accidentally replacing the "actual soundtrack" of each level with those hidden tracks (unless playing on a real PS1)
Played this on my sega saturn. Something about the music, art, and level design was so creepy. The way the aliens just jumped out of nowhere was really scary
I loved this game back in the day. Never finished it though. Now I don’t have to. 😊 15:56 Great soundtrack. I remember rocking out to this song back in the nineties. 😂 18:01 I never made it to this level. I guess this is where I tapped out when I was 14. I still have my Saturn so I may boot this up and play again.
I wasn't expecting much but those graphics are actually really good. Its not as much about how detailed and varied the levels are but how cohesive the art style is
Shit! This game scared the hell out of me so much! I felt so disturbed by the poor “cocooned” humans that said “kill me” It just doesnt sit well with me 😱😱😱
I came for the PS1 start up theme oh Alien Trilogy back when FOX was happy to make game adaptions Die Hard Trilogy was also another great game This beats Alien Colinal Marines
Me and my cousin discovered that in a CD player, the game actually plays de soundtrack with the titles and all,like any CD. we played the game in early 2000. The facehugger when gets on your face is the most disturbinng thing in all Gaming for me... annd I played.and play tons of games, Nintendo(Played on almost all the consoles), Playstations,PC, and Xbox
@@u960 well as Amanda Ripley herself once said, you get used to it. One thing I Will say though on repeated play thoughs I’ve found the alien shows up in places I thought it never went to, especially on higher difficulties it really is pretty random. There were some areas I thought were completely safe. That I got some severe punishment. When u finish it give subnautica a go. It’s similar levels of horror imo
@@deanfowles3707 It was the places where it was only you and only the Alien that I didn’t like. He stomps like an elephant. Switching to super easy difficulty helped me. Otherwise I liked everything.
Ahhh Come On. You have not heard of Alien Isolation, sir??? That game is what an "Alien" game is meant to be. Think of it: At least the first two Alien films were more about tension and fear being built on feelings of isolation and desperation and fear of the unknown, and so a Survival Horror type of game is the perfect type of game. If you wanted to reflect something like Alien 3, then yeah you'd have a pure shooter.

Hazy but only good memories of this one. Unlike that other sick PS1 trilogy game ( "Yippee Kiyay!" ) I think I spent more time watching my dad play this than myself but the look & especially the music brings it all back. Another beloved thing about the PS1 days IMO is how it wasn't usually a surprise when a game had a great soundtrack. It was just something "to be expected" lol!
Omg that was my first game on Sega Saturn when i was 7. I was scared to play it… but that was time when games ware simple and had climate. Thanks for the memories!

This game was one of the scariest games I played when I was a kid. It's awesome to see you play this PS1 masterpiece. 👍
Same here! It was my first experience of an FPS ^^
Same
It was good, but kinda relaxing compared to Aliens Vs Predator on the Atari Jaguar, LOL.... That is the scariest shit of a game I've ever played.
I know right 👍..I was always low on ammo for some reason
I watched the films first before playing.
I was terrified of this game as a child but it sparked my lifelong love for the alien franchise
Same I just ordered it
You and us both haha

PS1 start up chime never fails to put a smile on my face. Brings me back to a time when my only concerns were completing the game I just put in. 😊
I'm so happy that there are so many fans of the game. When I was a kid nobody wanted to play the game haha
I remember borrowing this game when I got my PS in 1998. Played it through overnight. Great atmosphere. That soundtrack is still on my phone. Timeless.
Played this game for the first time when I was 12, still gives me creeps 22 years later. Level 1 soundtrack is pure gold
Simply put - one of the most atmospheric and affecting games ever made
Man the nostalgia is *real*

Should be remastered great game
PS1 and PS2 had some great video game gems.

Wooow just wow, I soooo remember my dad playing this when I was a kid, how time flys by
You sir just made me feel old 😂
"That's a nice pet you got there bishop"
This game needs a remake!
The soundtrack is sooo great and without cheats it's almost impossible to beat this game 👍

No alien isolation is far by the best alien game ever.
Absolutely not.

I hear it every time I get an sms
This was my first game when i brought my PS1, i blame my parents for all those sleepless nights lol
Played this game first time for PC, and later for PS1. The atmosphere and the soundtrack were amazing. Made me a fan of the first two movies.

Man I used to pull sickys from school to spend the day on this 😍 this badly needs a remaster

Best game ever! I still remember the passcode I Wear Pink Acid Boots, but spelled with numbers mixed with letters.

Esse som do PlayStation ligando e simplesmente de arrepiar

I love alien isolation, but there’s just a certain atmosphere to this old game that is just magical. and also scarier in a weird kind of way
I'm currently going through Alien Isolation, and two chapters, the hospital and the penultimate one with generators, are too much.
