Alien Syndrome is another game from the arcades. It is a classic L and R job with the usual high strains of play and presentation expected from Seaa. You take the role of Ricky or Mary and have to rescue Hostages from seven different ships before a bomb goes off.

Each ship has several rooms to investigate, and is populated by two different aliens. Ordinary aliens are fatal to the touch while Defenders are in every room in the ship and can be shot, rendered useless for a limited time (they fire at you while aliens just roam around).

To rescue the hostages you simply walk over them and when they have all been collected you can go to an exit where you have to battle the Alien Boxx of that ship (a super duper biggy who is just begging for a good zap). He has to be beaten to progress to the next ship. You can upgrade your weapons by picking out weapons from the walls throughout the ship (Fireball, Laser, Warp and Mystery).
