Alien Shooter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The third-person shooter PC action game Alien Shooter was created by the Russian "Sigma Team" released in 2002. The Expansion, called "The Experiment", includes 5 more levels, a boss, and 3 difficulty settings that dictate the number of aliens (easy has the least, hard has the most).

[edit] Story
The year is 2028 and, after some mishaps, aliens have killed all the scientists in a military research facility. The player must venture into the military complex and kill all the aliens to prevent them from escaping and destroying mankind.
The player takes control of either a Male or Female character. The Male Character is Stronger (can carry more Ammunition) and has more hit points while the female character has a faster movement rate and can fire more accurately. One starts with only the most basic of 9 weapons, a hand gun and can either find or purchase more powerful weapons throughout the game. Finding or buying biomechanical implants will increase your character's speed, strength, health, or accuracy.
[edit] Navigation
The player can move the character by point and right click or with the arrow keys. Players aim the weapons with the mouse and fire with the left click. Although playing with only the mouse is possible, it is extremely difficult to retreat and fire without using the keyboard. Swapping weapons in inventory can be accomplished with the mouse scroll wheel or with the number keys.
[edit] Levels and Monsters
Alien Shooter with the Experiment has a total of 24 Levels spread across 3 missions. When a player completes a level, they may purchase implants, ammunition, weapons, or armor. There is also a survive mode that keeps sending more and more monsters until the player is eventually overrun.
There are 7 types of aliens that come in 4 strength grades: Green (weakest and slowest), Yellow, Red, and Blue (strongest and fastest). In the expansion, there is an additional creature type and an end boss.
[edit] Cheats
Cheats can be typed directly during the game and work in both modes:
cheath -Health points becomes 1000
cheatw -Activate all weapons
cheata -Add ammo to all weapons
cheatm -Gain cash in shop
cheate -complete a level
[edit] Graphics
By today’s standards, the game is not graphics intensive. It has been tested and runs well on a 800 mhz laptop with a 32 meg graphics card.
