With a fully saturated market, The Edge jumped at the conversion of one of the most charismatic arcade from SEGA, Alien Syndrome, a fun game taking the essence of the famous Gauntlet moved to the attractive alien scenario, in which our goal was, above all, to rescue survivors before the explosion of a bomb in the ship.

The 16-bit versions look close to coin-op, while the 8-bit are well done, but rather difficult.

Among the eight-bit, two of that versions were developed in Spain: MSX, by Xortrapa, and Amstrad, which went to our friends at Animagic, whose this time, did something rare, very rare.

Instead of catching as a reference other 8-bit versions, or do something with the graphics to put them at the level the CPC deserves, this version of AS has all new graphics, and even a top-down perspective even more forced than the original. For the rest, it plays more or less as in the other versions, except that we can shoot when our character has already been destroyed by contact with the enemy (contact, sometimes, won't be very accurate).

The sound is pretty decent, and even has in-game music, but overall is bordering unplayability.
