Line 1: {{work}} [[File:Area51_screenshot_157.png\|frame\|[[Artificial Stupidity\|Gah!]] [[Redshirt Army\|Get outta the way, idiot!]]]] ] A 1995 arcade [[Light Gun Game~~\|light gun game~~]], ''Area 51'' puts the player in the role of a member of an elite military unit called the Strategic Tactical Advanced Alien Response (STAAR). Their mission is to enter the titular base, shoot through a small army of zombified military and science personnel and prevent an alien race known as the Kronn from taking over the facility [[Start X to Stop X\|by triggering a nuclear device, destroying it and everything inside of it.]] It was followed by ''Area 51: Site 4'' in 1998, which improved the graphics and replaced the linear stage progression with a set of unconnected "field exercise" missions, effectively making the game both a figurative and literal [[Mission Pack Sequel]]. Not to be confused with the [[Area 51 ~~FPS~~(2005 video game)\|first person shooter of the same name released in 2005]]. {{tropelist}} Line 20 ⟶ 19: * [[Exploding Barrels]]: Occasionally reveals power ups, always adds to your score. * [[Full Motion Video]] * [[Fun ~~With~~with Acronyms]]: S.T.A.A.R. Team. * [[Friendly Fireproof]]: Subverted. As seen in the page picture, fellow STAAR officers will often step into your line of fire, and if you hit them by mistake, a health penalty is incurred (though doing this right in the beginning unlocks Kronn Hunter mode). * [[Government Agency of Fiction]]: See above. Line 32 ⟶ 31: * [[Shoot the Bullet]]: Early in the game an enemy helicopter starts firing missiles that the player has to shoot down similar to the barrels below, averted the rest of the time as you can't see the bullets at all. * [[Throw a Barrel At It]]: Utilized at certain points; enemy mooks will throw exploding barrels at you that you need to shoot out of the air before they hit you. * [[What Happened to ~~The~~the Mouse?]]: The jeep driver who picks you up in the second level suddenly disappears from said jeep when you try to climb up a ladder. You watch the empty jeep plow into some gas tanks. {{reflist}} Line 40 ⟶ 39: [[Category:Area 51]] [[Category:Video Game]] [[Category:Area 51 (1995 video game)]] [[Category:Pages with working Wikipedia tabs]] [[Category:Video Games of the 1990s]]
