Seperated at birth?

On the right, the new PS3 game Resistance: Fall of Man.

On the left, Alien Brigade for the Atari 7800.

According to atariage.com:

"In Alien Brigade, you must stop an alien force that is preparing to take over the earth by taking over the bodies of US soldiers"

According to me, "In Resistance you must stop an alien force preparing to take over earth by taking over the bodies of British soldiers." It's somewhat rare on the Atari console, and garnered pretty high reviews from Atari-type sites. It's also a light gun game, so that it in of itself is a rarity on systems back then.

Retrosite Flipsiderunner has a full on review up on their site, where I discovered the game looking for asteroids box art. Talk about weird circumstances.

Gameplay and graphicially the games obviously don't have much in common, but the similarities between the box art story gave me a chuckle.

That is a FANTASTIC find!

Also - Alien Brigade was a light gun game, the predecessor to the modern FPS. Too funny.

Come on, that description describes about every action game ever made: "You must stop the big bad guys by playing the good guys".
