You begin as Lester and his alien friend, "Buddy," land their pterodactyl in the ruins of Buddy's village.
Lester was knocked unconscious in their escape, so Buddy lays him down on a cot to rest.
The people who used to live in Buddy's village remain enslaved, so he decides to go on a mission to free them.
Thus, you control Buddy as he sets off to free the people and find a way to send Lester home.
"Heart of the Alien" was only released within the Sega CD bundle containing Parts I and 2.
About Sega CD
Known as the Mega-CD outside North America, the Sega CD (1991/1992) was Sega's CD-ROM add-on for the Genesis, offering full-motion video games that felt cutting-edge at the time but haven't all aged gracefully. Bulky, fragile packaging and a relatively short commercial life make complete Sega CD sets — case, manual, and the disc itself — a meaningful step up in difficulty from Genesis cartridge collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Heart of the Alien for Sega CD 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 Heart of the Alien 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 SCD release dates back to 1994.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Heart of the Alien, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Sega CD titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
