Sabre Man in Space! That's Ultimate's new hit game Alien 8. Knight Lore-style graphics and Ultimate's unique 3D Filmation technique plus lots of perplexing puzzles will make Alien 8 another instant classic.

Alien 8 is a very special robot - the guardian of the frozen cargo of a starship. The ship is a sort of Noah's Ark from another world packed with the knowledge and a few frozen members of a highly developed alien race escaping from a dead planet.

Near the end of the trip to another, safer, world, nasty aliens intrude into the dusty silent environment and threaten the success of the mission.

Alien 8 must protect the frozen inhabitants of his ship to ensure a safe landing on the new planet - and reactivate certain areas of the craft during the approach to the new world.

There are lots of Knight Lore-style tasks to be performed in order to keep the cryonauts alive. Your friendly Alien 8 robot is a nice little chap and lends an air of humour to the game.

Alien 8 is another classic arcade adventure from Ultimate - superb graphics, good sound and... well, just rush out and get it. Seeing is believing!

Even as we write maps of the game are zapping across the universe on route for the C&VG offices. Don't miss next month's issue for the Alien 8 map extravaganza!
