Premise: A special forces Marine batallion has stepped through a Stargate on Earth and wound up on the planet Abydos on the other side of the universe. Now they must fight to survive among the planet's animal life, several tribes of ancient Egyptian descendants, and the planet's intelligent alien population. Based on the hit feature film starring Kurt Russell that later became a television series (starring Richard Anderson) for the Showtime premium cable channel.
Impressions: Wow! Great graphics and animation, cool tunes and sound, and gameplay that just borders on frustratingly hard. Has a lot in common with Super Star Wars for the SNES in terms of level design and advancement. If you liked the movie, you'll like the game. If you haven't seen the movie, then you might want to after playing the game.
