ALF: The First Adventure

DOS - 1987
Also available on: Apple II - Atari ST - Commodore 64

One of the better movie-based games from Box Office, Alf was a budget release game based on the popular 80's television show of the same name.

As Alf the good-hearted alien, your goal is to around the neighborhood collecting pizzas while avoiding cats and the man of the household. Not unlike Pac-Man, except there is a lot more to do in each maze. For instance, in some levels you have to find parts to your spacecraft, and most levels are quite large, spanning 2 or even 3 screens.

The game is quite challenging, as the cats are very nimble, forcing you to chase them around the screen before they can be caught.

Had this game on a 286 PC in school that we managed to install on without this English-Sheep-Shagging teacher finding out.

Haha Me this was based off a TV show where ALF the main character ate cats. All the time he'd get into trouble for eating the neighborhood cats...some people...sad, you must be from the generation of complete censorship.

It's awful having the hero eating cats.
How would you like to be eaten? How would you like,say, another race to be playing "humourous" games about eating you? (Noting that studies have found that the mind can't distinguish between games and reality, reacting the same way, hence what you do in computer games is close in effect to doing that in reality).
