Alien Legion

Alien Legion is a side-scrolling platform shooter set on an Earth overrun by the forces of Marania. With the planet’s soldiers captured, Captain Cosmose is the last remaining defender, armed with his laser gun, Sycho.

Players move from left to right, shooting enemies and jumping between platforms to find safe routes while avoiding pits. Foes include ordinary and armoured aliens, enemies riding strange vehicles, and abstract flying creatures. Defeated aliens may leave behind potions: green restores some health, while red reduces it. Losing all health costs one of the player’s three lives.
