Alien Gate is a fixed shooter developed by SPC Vision and published by Philips for the CD-i. The background gives the impression of a vertically scrolling shooter, but the attackers stay in position relative to the player's ship.
Alien Gate is a shooting game. [1]
Alien Gate was developed by Dutch studio SPC Vision and was primarily designed by Stefan Posthuma. [2] [3] The code and graphics were all written using the Atari ST. [4] The project began as a demo provided to publisher Philips who were so impressed that they commissioned a full release as well as a five-game contract with the developer. [5]
Next Generation reviewed the CD-i version of the game, rating it one star out of five, and stated that "Those who actually want shooting action from their CD-i will do better to stick with games like Mystic Midway than to delve into this painfully deficient travesty." [1] Power Unlimited gave the game a score of 82% commenting: "Alien Gate is very difficult. You will have to practice for a long time, because if you don't know the levels by heart, you won't get very far. If you're a stickler this game will have a long shelf life." [6]
