The gas escapes into the ventilation system, the janitor cops an early whiff, tentacles grow out from his nipples and before you know it the place is awash with mutant villains eager to slay anything that moves. You play Ethan Cole, a member of a clean-up team sent into the base after it appears someone dropped a test tube containing one of Marilyn Monroe's farts. Instead, expect to see every cliche for which Area 51 is famed wheeled out secret societies, alien technology, research projects gone wrong, those bugeyed Grays - they're all here the entire nine-season run of X-Files condensed into a 12-hour game, only with more shooty bits. A gritty telling of government cover-ups this is not - anal probing is not aĬommon occurrence (although what the inhabitants get up to behind the pixel-thin walls is up for deliberation).
Whether the place is sanctuary to deadly airborne viruses or extraterrestrial immigrants is something most of sound mind have grave reservations over, but one myth that surrounds the infamous alien warehouse does have credibility: get too close to the perimeter fencing and the Camo Dudes will track you down, take you away and skilfully weave a latex-covered hand up through your fire exit until you sing for Uncle Sam.Ī sequel of sorts to the lightgun arcade game that was released way back when Gillian Anderson was the Net's number one pin-up girl, Midway's game fortuitously plays up to the myths that surround Area 51 rather than containing any semblance of truth. For some reason, it's now become a late night Mecca for conspiracy theorists, paranoid fruitcakes and local couples wanting to copulate beneath the stars. The Air Force Flight Test Center (Detachment 3), more commonly referred to as Dreamland or Area 51, is set across 5,200 sq km of desert north-west of Las Vegas.
