Alien Trilogy is a first-person shooter based on the first three Alien movies. You control Lt. Ripley in three sections, each based on one film: The colony complex on LV426 from Aliens , the prison planet from Alien³ , and the derelict spaceship from Alien . Each section consists of about 10 missions. In every mission, certain goals must be accomplished to continue. These include killing a certain number of enemies, finding items or activating switches.
Enemies include everything the alien life cycle provides: facehuggers, chestbursters, warrior aliens, dog aliens from Alien³ , and alien queens, one of which waits in the final mission of every section. In addition to the Aliens, you also have to fight employees of the Company, who have either been infected by the aliens and are beyond saving or who actively want to obstruct your mission.
Weapons to be used include pistol, shotgun, pulse rifle, flame thrower, and smart gun. Ammunition, health upgrades, and other useful items are scattered throughout the levels. Hidden areas may be uncovered by using explosives like grenades and seismic charges. An auto mapping system helps in not getting lost, night goggles allow you to see in the dark, and shoulder lamps (running on battery power) help as well - although they are running on battery power.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
Alien Trilogy is a first-person shooter for the Sega Saturn where players assume the role of Lt. Ripley, a lone marine surviving an alien ambush on the planet LV426. The game's premise revolves around Ripley fighting to eradicate a parasitic alien infestation while secretly opposing the corrupt Company that intends to weaponize the creatures. Players must navigate dangerous environments and survive against overwhelming odds to protect humanity from the Queen of Queens.
Story
Starting Up
1. Set up your Sega Saturn™ system as described in its instruction manual. Plug in Control Pad 1.
Note: Alien™ Trilogy is for one player.
2. Place the Alien™ Trilogy disc, label side up, in the well of the CD tray and close the lid.
3. Turn on the TV or monitor and the Sega Saturn™. The Sega Saturn™ logo appears on screen. (If nothing happens, turn the system off and make sure it is set up correctly before turning it on again.)
4. If you wish to stop the game in progress or the game ends, press the Reset Button on the Sega Saturn™ console to display the on screen Control Panel.
IMPORTANT: Your Sega Saturn™ CD contains a security code that allows the disc to be read. Be sure to keep the disc clean and handle it carefully. If your Sega Saturn™ system has trouble reading the disc, remove the disc and wipe it carefully, starting from the center of the disc and wiping straight out toward the edge.
Story
In the not-too-distant future, successful space colonization has become routine. The quaint concept of nations is a remote memory. The one organization to which all humans belong is the Company. All material needs are created and met by the Company. All human activity is subordinated to it. Even the armed forces are privatized, sworn to uphold the interests of the Company. By and large, humanity has survived intact throughout this era of interplanetary conquest.
But now a host of parasitic alien seeds threaten the very existence of the human race. The Company wants to keep the deadly spawn alive for use as a secret weapon. Can the vicious Aliens be destroyed? Or will the Queen of Queens succeed in laying another savage generation in the guts of hapless planetary populations? The task of saving humanity comes down to… you.
You're Lt. Ripley, a staff alien stomper. You're a million miles from home. Your fellow marines have just been wiped out in an alien ambush. Now the whole planet colony on LV426 is threatened by the egg laying aliens-and the Queen of Queens. You could use all the help the Company can muster… too bad they're working against you!
As Ripley, you'll soon be cursing the day you ever heard of the Company! But for now, you've got to concentrate… watch every movement… listen for every sound… if you can hear above your pounding heart! Steady, Lt. Ripley… just take it one ...you're ... on your own...
