Alianator

Alianator is a 3D variation on the Defender formula. As the station’s only defender, you must protect its eight inhabitants from alien ships across freely navigable levels.

Alien craft follow different behavior patterns: some attack your ship, while others abduct inhabitants and carry them to an invincible alien station, where they are transformed into powerful mutants. A first-person view is supported by instruments showing enemy types, radar, speed, altitude, and shield level.

Your shield acts as your life energy, while additional lives can be earned by scoring enough points from destroyed enemies. The game is lost if your ship is destroyed or if fewer than one inhabitant remains alive.
