It's good, and I'd gladly pay $50-$60 for it now, but the usual asking price is just plain nutty.

Anyway, Alien Soldier is pretty damn difficult. I'd like to own it someday (the Jap NTSC rev) if I can find it. Probably worth the cash if you like run 'n gun shooters.
xS: Try using the Hunter Force and Buster Force while in Fixed-fire mode. Watch his patterns and you should be able to beat him.
I can get about three older AES carts for the price of Alien Soldier. In fact, I just bought Magician Lord, Blue's Journey, and Cyber-Lip for $120 all complete.Quote:

I'm not very into the game, so perhaps that's influenced my judgement, but I still think it's too expensive.
Phoenix dash it, keeping firing with buster. When it fires at you catch the attack to turn it into health then do another phoenix dash. That should kill it really fast.Quote:

Alien Soldier may cost a lot of money on Jap Mega Drive but like sleeveboy says, so are AES carts and in my opinion Alien Soldier is better than any Neo Geo game. You really get your moneys worth as the game very hard and very fast. By far my favourite 'run and gun' game, the set pieces and boss battles can't be beaten.
Alien Soldier is an excellent Run & Gun game... i like it more than Gunstar Heroes... worth the asking price? well, maybe...
Yes an excellent game , but I prefer contra the hardcops
my advice: dont waste your money. no disrespect meant to treasure or Alien Soldier (it is good), but there are more economic, just as awesome, gaming possibilities out now for much cheaper. you could buy a new console for that much money. and if you really wanted, im sure everyone on this board would be glad to help you think of some cheap, old school action games.
OR if you are totally sold on spending lots of money on a game youve never played AT LEAST buy Metal Slug 3 :)
Yeah, it's indeed that damn good! You'll know you have a winner when you see the intensity and mood of even the WEAPON SELECT SCREEN! This game owns all. Also, the Xi Tiger Transformation is perfect....easily the most freaky growl I've ever heard from a video game.Quote:

One of my dream games: Alien Soldier 2: The Return ( Dreamcast, 2-D )
Alien Soldier is a wonderful game and fairly unique even today. Even though it pushes the Genny both graphically and aurally, the one thing that stands out is the control. Ep is best character I've ever controlled in a game, his dash and the counter force are brillant. I love it and was more than happy to put down the cash for it. *-neo
So..uhh...how bout' that converter question?
