Area 51 is a light gun arcade game released by
Atari Games in 1995. It takes its name from the Area 51 military facility.
The plot of the game involves the player (Peterson) taking part in a
STAAR military incursion to prevent aliens, known as the Kronn, and
alien-created zombies from taking over the Area 51 military facility.
This game takes the player through several sections of the facility, including a
warehouse and underground tunnels. The player is tasked, along with fellow
STAAR members, to penetrate Area 51 and activate the nuclear self-destruct sequence.
The player must kill all of the genetically altered scientists and aliens without
harming any allied STAAR team members (at the cost of one life point), however
if nothing but three STAAR team members are shot, the Kronn Hunter will be started,
taking the role of a Hunter, sent by the Kron to eliminate the rebels.
None of the actual aliens will appear until the office level.
