Alphaman features a futuristic, or rather, post-apocalyptic, setting.
The ultimate goal of the game is to locate the Grinch's stronghold and beat this powerful and psychotic enemy. To do so, you must first enter five other castles and beat the respective bosses there, each time gaining an indispensable item. The name of these bosses and castles shows a strong humoristic element (Gilligan in the castaways' fortress; Buzz Aldrin, cult leader of These Who Came In Second) that reminds of Escape from Hell. [1]
