Reception

Next Generation reviewed the CD-i version of the game, rating it one star out of five, and stated that "Those who actually want shooting action from their CD-i will do better to stick with games like Mystic Midway than to delve into this painfully deficient travesty."[1] Power Unlimited gave the game a score of 82% commenting: "Alien Gate is very difficult. You will have to practice for a long time, because if you don't know the levels by heart, you won't get very far. If you're a stickler this game will have a long shelf life."[2]
