[edit] Gameplay
Two players control two soldiers named Ricky and Mary, who must fight their way through large eight-way scrolling levels rescuing their comrades who are being held by aliens. After they have rescued a certain number of hostages the exit opens and they can pass through it in order to fight the end-of-level guardian. If this monstrosity is defeated, they move onto the next stage. As well as two player simultaneous gameplay, Alien Syndrome features pick-ups which assist the player including better weapons and maps of the current level.
[edit] Ports
The game was later ported to the Sega Master System (1987), Amiga (1987), Atari ST, ZX Spectrum (1987), Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 (1988), Famicom (1988), Nintendo Entertainment System (1989, published by Tengen), and the Sega Game Gear (1992).
A sequel of the same name, Alien Syndrome, is scheduled to be released for Wii and PSP on June 28th, 2007.
