Steel Harbinger
PlayStation · 1996
About this game
In the midst of a large-scale war, aliens invade.
The attack begins with pods dropped on the Earth, designed to turn anyone foolish enough to come near into a bio-mechanical horror, determined to kill all humans, and very good at this task.

Luckily, one of the pod's victims manages to escape halfway through the conversion process, retaining her mind.
Now, the Steel Harbinger, backed up by a group of surviving scientists, must travel the post-apocalyptic United States, destroying aliens, rescuing survivors, and searching for a way to stop the attack.
Steel Harbinger is a 3d, top-down shooter, with the twist that you can eat the enemies you kill to regain health.
Weapons, both human and alien, can be found around the large levels, as well as the standard keycards, consoles, and aliens.
Between levels, full-motion videos explain the plot.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Steel Harbinger for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Steel Harbinger to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1996.
