Roswell Conspiracies: Aliens, Myths and Legends was an animated program, that originally aired in 1999 as part of BKN, the syndicated's cartoon programing block. The programming segment premiered in 1992. The show was part of BKN's drive to reinvent itself. The show's premise was that aliens had been living among humans for ages, and were the origins of many of the creatures humans know from myth, folklore and legends, including vampires and werewolves.
On the show, the Roswell UFO Incident which is part of a conspiracy theory (that many real life people still hold to this day) is portrayed as being a man made phenomenon. It was set up by humans to deflect popular attention from the truth. The unidentified flying object was a prop; the body of a little green or grey man was a dummy; the witnesses to the crash were plants; as were the Air Force investigators. In fact the whole shadow world surrounding Area 51 was nothing but a distraction from the fact that the aliens had landed long ago and there were known incidents of their desire to attack, assimilate and/or destroy the human race.
These known incidents could be found in legend, myth and folklore of beings so strange and alien that they became the fabric of what human beings thought of when they thought of being frightened; vampires, werewolves, banshees, manitou, evil spirits...etc. As human beings progressed into the Industrial Age the attacks seemed to lessen, but recently they'd begun to go on the rise.
The story begins as Nick Logan, a bounty hunter, gets tapped to hunt down what he thinks is a regular bounty, but things don't stay regular for long. When his next bounty turns out to be a very unusual girl, he soon finds himself involved in something both incredibly outrageous but also potentially satisfying. There are aliens among us and he can possibly play a part in helping to protect the earth. His new circumstances could also help him discover the truth behind his biological father's disappearance. Raised and trained by a stepfather in the know, Nick is one of a few human beings born with an innate sense of seeing through alien deceptions; most of the aliens can morph into human form at will. This ability gives him a unique advantage. In time he discovers his father and grandfather shared this advantage too.
Nick ends up teaming with Sh'lainn Blaze, a rogue Banshee who wants to be the bridge that helps humans and her species co-exist on the planet together. The Banshee haven't fared well in an age of cold iron and Sh'lainn seems aware that they are plotting some form of 'final' solution. Together they become agents under James Rinaker the current Executive Officer of The Global Alliance, an international agency responsible for keeping the secret from the public and keeping the aliens in check by preventing the more aggressive and volatile ones from hunting human beings.
In the game players take on the role of bounty hunter Nick Logan as he goes on a worldwide hunt for aliens who are disguised as a variety of Earth-lore monsters like vampires, werewolves, evil spirits, abominable snowmen, and more. Roswell Conspiracies: Aliens, Myths & Legends, based on the animated series, presumes that the Roswell, New Mexico UFO sighting in 1947 was a fictional cover up by an underground group, The Global Alliance, designed to hide the real truth about aliens among us. As Detection Agent Logan, working in tandem with his Banshee partner Sh'Lainn Blaze who can predict imminent danger, you must hunt down and either kill or capture the alien menace stalking the Earth.
Five distinct locations such as London, New Orleans, and Transylvania set the stage for the creatures that "walk among us," and offer 15 levels of shooting, climbing, running, searching, and hand-to-hand combat. Control Logan from a third-person perspective with occasional first-person views during portions of the action, such as sub-games. Collect weapons, health packs, and ammunition, and combine objects from Nick's inventory to create puzzle-solving tools in specific missions. As the story progresses, the use of alien weaponry becomes key to success, stealth factors kick in, and peeking around corners in first-person mode gives the character the edge he needs to wipe out Earth-bound aliens.
