While the Sega 3D Ages games have developed an exceptional reputation for foulness, the Alien Syndrome remake is actually fun. Yes, the character models and animations could've been done on hardware over a generation older, yes, the unlimited continues make the game WAYYYYY too easy, and yes, the game is both short and lacking in a copy of the original game. However, like Outrun (one of the only other decent Sega Ages games), it is fun not because of anything new it does, but because it is the original game (which is/was good) with some slightly more modern packaging (and not as poorly done as say, Golden Axe).

Plus there's a tribute to the older/original Alien Syndrome after the final scene which makes me feel all warm.

Thanks for the heads-up, I didn't even remember that Sega was redoing Alien Syndrome, much less that it turned out well.

Same! This is definately something I'll have to check out. ^^ I STILL need to get a board of the original... I'd like to see a nice remake of Alien Storm, too, but it would probably be bad.. :(

Edit: Ishmael, is that a pic of Baiken by Tsukasa Jun in your tag??

I remember playing a little bit of Alien Syndrome when I was about 10 years old. Miss that game soooooo much (along with Gain Ground).

I kind of wish that the original games were included with the remakes. It's really cool to hear that Alien Syndrome for Sega Ages came out great, though.

PS: Spoon, do you mean to tell me that even the Phantasy Star I remake wasn't that great? I hope that isn't true...

Even I knew that one!

Btw, is Alien Syndrome that game with the guy who looks like a duck and that android with a diamond shaped head?

EDIT: HAH! I was thinking of Xenophobe...
