Alien Field

Alien Field is a dot-eating game for up to two players, who face endless waves of aliens. Each round lasts three minutes, and you aim to score as highly as possible by destroying aliens and collecting energy canisters. These take you to new stages with more scoring opportunities and dangers.

Clear the stages

A dash attack sends you through a row of aliens for a large combo bonus. The burst of speed continues until you hit a wall or an item. Your cannon helps keep enemies at bay, while players who team up combine their energy into a forcefield that can smash more aliens.

Three versions

The game includes three versions:

• Alien Field 3671: An evolution of the microcomputer classic. Instead of lives, this version uses a time limit. Items increase your score and add time, while bombs can be detonated to destroy groups of enemies. Its music features contributions from Swedish electronic group Ibojima, Hideki Awata, Junko Ozawa and Wing *.
• Alien Field Arrange Version: A revamped version of the original with new features and a more accessible difficulty level. Its background music uses the equivalent of a PCG-8100 sound source.
• Alien Field: A port of the PC-8001 original, published in the first issue of BASIC magazine in May 1981.
