Overview
Description

Set during a typical Halloween eve, Alien Incident follows a young boy named Benjamin as he witnesses his uncle activate a mysterious Worm Hole Spawner. When an alien spaceship accidentally enters the rift and its crew abducts Benjamin's uncle, it is up to the hidden boy to solve the mystery, rescue his relative, and save the galaxy. Developed by Housemarque and originally released in 1996, this comical point-and-click adventure combines classic puzzle-solving gameplay with a humorous science fiction storyline. Players must explore the spooky mansion and beyond, interacting with strange environments and uncovering bizarre secrets to succeed in their mission.

Alien Virus is a classic 1995 point-and-click adventure game developed by Trecision S.p.A. and published by Softgold Computerspiele GmbH. Players step into the shoes of pilot Joshua Stone, who arrives at Station Zeus after a month in hyperspace only to discover the entire space station completely devoid of life. Navigate through eerie, deserted corridors, solve intricate puzzles, and piece together the dark mystery behind the empty station. Blending science fiction and horror elements, the game delivers an atmospheric single-player experience steeped in suspense and classic graphical adventure mechanics.
