Aliens Online was a massively multiplayer First-Person Shooter based on the 1986 film Aliens, released in 1998 and developed by Mythic Entertainment (best known for the MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot) with assistance from Kesmai. It was an online-only game exclusive to the GameStorm monthly subscription service.Players take the role of either Colonial Marines or Aliens, engaging in multiplayer battles of up to 200 players on a single map. Besides player-controlled Aliens, the game also spawns a number of computer-controlled Aliens including an Alien Queen whose assassination is one of the Marines' primary objectives. Alien players take control of one of the computer-controlled Aliens when they join a server, while Marines players spawn in as reinforcements. Similar to Doom and Alien Trilogy, the game is software-render only and uses 2D sprites for weapons and characters, and the levels are "2.5D" rather than "true" 3D (different floors cannot be placed over one another, although the illusion of a full 3D space is created with floors of different heights).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })With the closure of the GameStorm network, Aliens Online's servers were shut down in 2000. Editing the game's configuration files allows players to play through the levels in a single-player test mode with computer-controlled Aliens NPCs, but with no code for offline multiplayer it is far from the game's true, full experience.
