Story

The player character, a pilot named Joshua Stone, lands on Station Zeus after a month in hyper space, but finds the space station devoid of life.

Reception

Computer Gaming World gave Alien Virus 2 stars and stated that "This game is fun to play and an improvement on the old text adventure format in many respects. However, it is also lacking in effective text, the greatest strength of the best text adventures."

Alien Virus was reviewed in PC Gamer US, which rated the game 59% and stated "If the puzzles had been more interesting, or more closely related to the story, I might have at least stuck with the game to its end. But ultimately, Alien Virus proved to be too much of a snooze to be worth it." Computer Game Review was similarly indifferent on the game.
