| __long_description | ***Alien 8*** is a ZX Spectrum video game. It was written by Tim Stamper
and Chris Stamper of Ultimate Play The Game, and was released by the
company in 1985. The game was also ported to the BBC Micro, Amstrad CPC
and MSX platforms. It is the follow-up to Ultimate's Knight Lore, which
had been released in 1984. As with its predecessor, Alien 8 is a
platform game rendered in then-novel isometric projection. In the game,
the player takes control of a robot, Alien 8, whose job is to ensure
that all of the cryogenically frozen passengers on a spaceship remain
viable during the ship's voyage.
***Plot***
On a dying planet in a distant galaxy, the last of the guardians store
all of their libraries, records, and knowledge on a single starship
together with cryogenically preserved members of their race. A single
robot, "Alien 8" is tasked with keeping these people alive.
The ship is launched towards a new solar system and Alien 8 performs
his task for thousands of years during the journey. However, as the
ship nears its destination, it is attacked and boarded. The cryogenic
life support systems are damaged and Alien 8 must restore them to
operation before the ship's automatic thrusting systems manoeuvre the
ship into planetary orbit.
