About this game

Alien Evolution is an action arcade game set after a nuclear holocaust, when humanity survives in underground complexes and sends the android CYBORG 64 to confront an alien infestation.

Played from an overhead view of the planet’s surface, the game features transporters between locations, multiple alien waves, and four successive evolutions of increasingly intelligent enemies. Weapon selection is important because some weapons are effective only against particular alien types. Players can also capture aliens by moving blocks across the screen.
