Those RAD boys and girls have come up with a pretty impressive coin-op conversion in Alien Syndrome. The graffix are excellent, the sound gives good vibrations and, yes, it is addictive.

There are two parts to each level, the first being a race against time to rescue your comrades - watch out for those killer cashew nuts - and the second is a face-to-face bash with a big, bad alien. Choose your weapon carefully on leaving pan one as you have to keep it throughout the second part, and don't lose your patience - this one's a multi-loader.
