Wow, I'm glad I clicked on this. With such a generic title I was surprised to find this to be the first time In a while that I've seen a dos game that I've never heard of before. On top of that. like you said, it's. ridiculously triple A for something 'so little people care about'. I think it's more likely they don't know about it, like me, either. Platformers on the PC really weren't all that great. There were exceptions, like Keen, Jazz Jackrabbit, (or ones that are more cinematic like Flashback, Black Thorne, Prince of Persia, Another World/OOTW) but for the most part they tended to be more like engines with a few elements of gameplay. spread over 100 maps that didn't vary in any mechanics EXCEPT for the design. Literally just a different placement of blocks. THIS actually has gameplay variation like a more modern platformer. On top of that, it has a surprising number of frames in it's animation, at least for the main character, and the sprite work itself is amazing.

Gameplay
Well I'll be damned. I just checked on eBay for shits 'n giggles, and low and behold, there is a single listing for Alien Rampage from a seller that supposedly has a bunch of new copies of the game (at least ten as of this writing. They are listed as BIN and cost a little under $10 after shipping. Just nabbed one for myself. Just a FYI for anyone out there that wants a physical copy of this game.

I turn off the music in every game, I much prefer just ambient sounds and effects. I can't -get in- to a setting with music coming from nowhere. In my real life there no soundtrack that comes out of nowhere so that's how I like my games. Believe it or not the latest Doom I turned off the music, heresy I know, maybe on a replay I'll try it just to hear what they did.

I was genuinly surprised that I've found it on Ebay for 6$ (shipping to Europe costs a bit, but it's still a good offer, even with this Softdisk's sleeve. I'm really charmed with this game, even such details like mimics of those friendly aliens is truelly outstanding. I love PC gaming for plenty of those -hidden gems- (and not only for this.

I was wondering if you get paid more if i watch the advertising to the end?
And if i click them?
I have watched you for years and years, and your videos can give me that nostalgig throwback that can make me laugh so hard i wet myself and at the same time wet my eyes, thinking back to an simpler time when you had no worries or illness.

Do you remember a dos game where you go up this huge office building shooting or killing, I don't remember that well, other office workers that were mind controlled and at the end you had to kill the alien on the roof?
It was 3d and also super pixelated. It had allot of puzzles to get to the next floor.

I loved the original Duke Nukem sidescroller, and I also loved this game too. I got stuck on the teleporters though and never figured them out, got pissed, and scorned the game as -broken. - YEARS later I looked it up and couldn't find any mention to this being a bugged and just realized I was a dumb child.

I remember winning this as a twerp in a first-level demo of sorts. I think ranking was sorted by % of the screen you found, and I got top 10-20 by finding the hidden area in the top right corner. Took a little finangling after they sent In Pursuit of Greed instead, bleck.

I think I might know why the music doesn't play. Did you make sure to keep the CD in while playing? ;) In all seriousness, I think they planned to include music, couldn't get any, and cut out the music options. Maybe there is some MIDI playback code in there.

I loved this game as a kid; never noticed the lack of music since my first speakers came post 00', so I had a habit of playing games with my own soundtrack of choice (on my CD/cassette playing hi-fi) - this one went well with powermetal; W. A. S. P and Helloween. =D
