A lot more substance than you would expect a licensed game from the era to have. | + | *yellowlightman: An above-average top-down action game where you have to explore the detention facility and kill aliens.

A real meaty adventure, with an amazing atmosphere. | + | * Sketch: Perhaps the best [[theme:licensed_games|film license]] I've played. This is how an //Aliens// game should be made.

| *HarveyQ: //LA// is my favorite //Zelda// game and one of the finest adventures ever released for any platform. it has loads of nostalgia value for me (being my first GBC game), but beyond that it has a dreamy, beautiful atmosphere, excellent pacing and a fine progression of difficulty. plus a nice, silly sense of humor about things ("You got [[character:marin|Marin]]! Is this your big chance...?") | *HarveyQ: //LA// is my favorite //Zelda// game and one of the finest adventures ever released for any platform. it has loads of nostalgia value for me (being my first GBC game), but beyond that it has a dreamy, beautiful atmosphere, excellent pacing and a fine progression of difficulty. plus a nice, silly sense of humor about things ("You got [[character:marin|Marin]]!

| *vamos: My favourite game of all time. I feel like I could cope with anything in life as long as I can retreat into this game when things get hard. A perfect little world, filled with characters with their own lives and stories, and just the right levels of melancholy, weirdness and joy. The first //Zelda// game I ever played, and none of the others have quite lived up to it. Just writing about it makes me want to play it again now. | *vamos: My favourite game of all time.

| - | * Cycle: One of the best movie licenses ever! You played as the terminator (in the war) and you went around blasting stuff. Well, the blasting stuff bits were actually really well designed and fun, and there was even a puzzle mini-game that was really enjoyable. Unfortunately, it was also really short. Great while it lasted. | + | * Cycle: One of the best movie [[theme:licensed_games|licenses]] ever! You played as the terminator (in the war) and you went around blasting stuff.
