A goddess’s work is never done. “Blow the wind, Athena!” “Guide the currents, Athena!” “Save us from that monster, Athena!” And sure, they give you offerings, but do they ever say “thank you”? Of course not! But at the end of the day, you know they’re grateful, so you do it anyway.

Remember alphabet soup? If you do, then you probably also remember happily spelling out words with your letters until your mom told you to stop playing with your food and eat. Well, you better call her and scold her. Those skills you carefully honed are going to pay off big time.

With graphics and sound that might have been truly impressive about decade ago and basic space-invaders style gameplay that you’ll recognize from your Atari 2600 days, it’s hard to understand exactly what the retro allure of Alien Outbreak is, but it’s there.
