Area 51 (series)

Area 51 is a video game series set in Area 51 military facility. The franchise was launched by Atari Games as a series of two arcade light gun shooters in the 1990s, and was revisited by Midway Games as a series of first-person shooters in the 2000s. The original arcade games cast the player as a member of a special military unit that must battle an invasion of aliens called the Kronn. Versions of the original Area 51 were released for various home consoles. The Midway titles, exclusive to home systems, had different plots from the original games.
