About this product

Product Information

Area 51 takes you to the secret Nevada base where it's ultimately up to you to save not only the base, but the rest of the world from an alien invasion. Grab your controller or light gun and fight your way through exciting level after level, riding the earth of whatever scum may cross your path. Two player mode is supported, so you and a friend can both experience the thrill of blasting your way through the base. Everything from mutated soldiers on the base, to the biggest, nastiest, meanest looking monsters that have ever walked the earth, or any other planet, for that matter. Pick up Area 51 and save the world: we're counting on you, soldier.

If you play this game remember its an arcade port. If you play single player with one controller you have to stabd to the left of the screen like your player 1 at an arcade. If you stand dead center your aim will be way off.

The Arcade Game You Love... with Much More Loading but Less Quarters Disappearing
An awesome, classic 90s rail-shooter, the pre-rendered graphics have somewhat aged, but they retain a very cool aesthetic, as do the live-action actors and alien designs. Very fun in co-op, and a bizarrely addicting soundtrack, despite being essentially the same song repeatedly. It's nice to proceed past the first mission without spending four dollars in quarters, too.
