One of my favourite games of all time. From Aerosmith opening with 'Eat The Rich,' to the final scene with the DOATEC towers coming down to the tune of 'Amazing,' and everything in-between, this game is perfection. The graphics look gorgeous to this day nearly 20 years later, the gameplay is fast, fluid and responsive, and right now, it's one of the few games that keeps my old XBox 360 plugged in. The difficulty is fine-tuned, to the point where the boss Alpha-152 makes you want to pull your hairs out in the best ways, there's a wealth of fun extra modes, and really, it deserves a PC port for the native 4K graphics options. It was a platinum seller back in the day, and it stands a chance to really shine again.
To answer that question as quickly as possible, I'll ignore the intrinsic qualities of the series since the first opus, with which you're all very familiar: charismatic characters, charming damsels, intuitive counter technique, explosive arenas and high-resolution Arcade graphics.

This game and DOA3 NEED to come back. The duo is PERFECTION when it comes to fighting games. They're trapped into Xbox systems and many players were never able to enjoy them. I would buy it day one if it appeared on GOG, and would buy copies for all my friends. Make it happen, GOG!

Alien
AlienFox Video Games made the first leap into licensing the Alien property for video games with what was essentially a Pac-Man clone skinned with elements from the 1979 film. Players controlled a human collecting Alien eggs (dots) and small planet and spaceship symbols (fruits) in a maze abroad the USCSS Nostromo while avoiding Alien drones (ghosts). Drones could be killed by shooting them with a flamethrower or collecting symbols that would stun them (flashing dots).

Players must defeat their opponents multiple times in a fighting frenzy of items and power-ups.

Each player has a damage total, represented by a percentage, which rises as the damage is taken.
