Aliens Longplay (Arcade) [60 FPS]: Strap on your flamethrower and combat boots as you take the fight to the xenomorph menace in Konami's excellent shoot 'em up! Read the video description for my review!

I remember the movie theater we went to had this game. My dad took me to see robocop 2 and I remember playing this before the movie started. Good times

[@HeroQuestFans]

this game freaked me out as a kid... and I loved it

[@ramonarellanotrejo8837]

Same xd specially when i was in the first boss battle for first Time

[@Cruor34]

Same, I thought it was scary and the graphics were amazing when I was 10. Looks like crap now, in my mind it looked so much better. I know I was pissed it was never ported onto the Genesis or SNES. My parents got me Alien Storm thinking it was this, I was disappointed but ended up liking the game.

[@digi_edits]

I was always the kid that never was good at any aracade videogame (was always a console kid), my younger brother was the one that was really good at almost any game in arcades, the one and only game that my brother never touched and I was really good at Aliens. I remember watching the game for the first time and was so attracted but also so scared of it (The Alien creature was always scary to me) that I had to try it and boy was it fun, I was so good at playing that sometimes even kids from my local arcade neighborhood started to watched me play without dying. This was back in 2003 when I was 11, good times. Thanks for posting! Ps: Those levels where you are shooting while driving in order to get the little girl was never in the arcade version I used to play. Also, in the final battle against the Alien Queen, instead of spitting acid she fired replicas of herself very rapidly that went to the very end of the screen.

[@Dragonman1OOO]

The creative freedom of the developers were... over the top to say the least.

[@richardbarnes5432]

Still a more sensible expansion of the universe than Prometheus.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

This game has detached Xenomorph heads flying around like bats (complete with tiny little wings attached to them) and your statement is somehow still technically accurate.

[@newsbender]

I could shit into a bowl and burst a pile doing so and the resulting juxtaposition of blood and fecal matter would still make much more sense than Prometheus.

[@tommorales2371]

I know the nwe alien franchise is long, and boring.

[@furward4510]

I'd love to see a bat-shit crazy film version of this! All psychedelic and tripped out but heart-pounding, fun and serious as it needs to be. Give me the budget and I'll make it.

[@menswear2112]

You’re off your meds. Prometheus was the best post-Aliens we got served.

[@alabastergreen7444]

TIL that this game actually existed. I remember some kids talking about it at school in 90 or 91 and I pretended like I knew what it was and had beaten it. All this time I thought they had just made it up but here it is

[@mhmtse]

Grabbing the flamethrower just before the nest and flaming the hell out of the eggs is nice touch.

[@alanchan8265]

The only game my brother let me play when i was young because i was too-scare to play. This is one of the reason why my brother can play the arcade all the time

[@nitrokid]

Konami really took liberty with the Xenomorph variants XDDD Really cool that Ripley started off with the Smartgun, though. I'm a big fan of that weapon.

[@PeacefulPauseProductions]

They did go all out in their designs. They were a huge fan of Aliens so this must of been an honor for them to take on.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

Konami weren't even the worst offenders. Go do a Google search for "Kenner Aliens figures" and you'll see some truly God-awful Xenomorph designs (along with some pretty hilarious cutesy Colonial Marine designs that look like they wouldn't be out of place in a daycare center). Ever wondered what it would look like if a Xenomorph infected a gorilla? Me neither but thanks to Kenner, now you can find out! And guess what - it's AWFUL.

[@thedarthflagger]

There was some black goo as well.

[@Zemun_SerbianCB]

My dad used to play this at the arcades. And when I was a kid, he downloaded this game on his laptop. I loved this game.

[@chaosincarna]

I like to imagine this is what some Japanese game Dev had as a fever dream after watching an untranslated version of "Aliens".

[@TheVampirePredator]

Aliens was extremely popular in Japan and was very influential on game developers there for decades after.

[@chaosincarna]

[@PeacefulPauseProductions]

This game made me feel scared playing it. It did a great job at it too.

[@BunnychanFarabee]

I imagine James Cameron at some point played Contra's last level and said "screw it, if they're going to rip off my movie they can at least have the full license." So sad this never got a proper port to either of the 16 bit systems.

[@TheVampirePredator]

Konami was OBSESSED with the Aliens franchise in the mid 80s to early 90s.

I Remember Wasting 10 Bucks on Quarters on this Game. Didn't get my an advanced allowance till the end of the month. LOL

[@baggywhiskers]

Sadly, this game never made it to the Genesis due to a licensing dispute between Konami and James Cameron. The cartridges were ready to be shipped but were never sent out.

[@WanderlustZero]

Do you have a source for this?

[@baggywhiskers]

@@WanderlustZero My own memory more than anything. That and it was all over the news in the early 90s. If I remember, there's a documentary out there on it. It had something to do with how they wanted to use the actual actors for the cabinet art but didn't want to have to pay more in royalties to do it. They tried to use images of the actors for the Genesis game release, to which Cameron filed a lawsuit. The completed cartridges were never released.

[@clexgirl]

I'd loved this game on the Sega Genesis! I still have my Sega Gene's game for Alien 3.

[@clexgirl]

Is it just me, or is Ripley walking on water several times?

[@TheVampirePredator]

Cameron had no say in this as it was 20th Century Fox’s intellectual property. I smell BS.

there are 2 other ways to destroy the alien queen at the end (after the cargo doors open); 1 is by continually smacking her with the mech suit until she breaks into pieces and falls out of the ship, or (2) to not get in the mech suit at all and keep shooting her with your gun until she breaks into pieces and falls out of the ship. doesn't change the ending though.
