Game Introduction

 

Aliens is a run-and-gun shoot 'em up arcade game by Konami released in 1990, based on the Aliens film. It picks up mid-movie with Lt. Ripley and Cpl. Hicks attempting to leave the alien-infested colony by making their way towards the drop ship, and notably takes some liberties with the film's storyline and the Aliens' biology.

 

You and your partner must shoot all the attacking aliens as you progress throughout the many levels of the game. The joystick controls the player movement while the buttons let you shoot from either a standing or crouched position.

 

More detailed information on Aliens and game play can be found here: http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=6859

It's a start. Played this a fair bit way back when I worked at Timezone but that was around 20 years ago. Bloody old fart I am. :p

 

It's a start... and about a 130k start over my quick game while I was checking it out for the intro post earlier today :redface

Cool, being a bigtime Alien/s fan (lets not get started on Prometheus arguments lol) I've wondered about this game a lot but never given it more than a look in, so will be good to get into it a bit more... Must have a look at the cute 'em up too, interesting pair of games on at the mo very non-trad, I'm liking the direction of this MGL so far :)

 

Edit: had a quick few games, dammit just made it to the cargo loader then for some reason a huge wrecking ball dropped out of the sky

 

Ripley sure has a lot of ammo.

So flamethrower good for bosses, otherwise it's all missiles ?

 

I've been wondering about that myself. Haven't been noticing any real difference in the effectiveness of weapons so I've been sticking with the flamethrower just because of its proven track record against aliens.

 

I've run across health bonuses a couple of times but not in every game. Is there a way to ensure these get dropped?

Wondering that myself. I've noticed in the early sections if you have the Missile launcher, it wont give you the health bonus pickup, but other weapons it will ?

not sure what got me at the bottom of the elevator , anytime first time !

 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]45050[/ATTACH]

 

Going by the screenshot it looks to me like the 3 cables above the elevator got snapped by aliens

 

EDIT: Probably shouldn't have posted this as the game has only been up for a few days.

 

NO HINTS IN THE FIRST WEEK DAMMIT

 

Wasn't thinking while posting due to excessive alcohol consumption........again

I still suck and this is still not my sort of game. Hurry up Sunday and give me one of my picks for the next game :lol

That elevator got me quite a few times too, till I realised you could actually aim and shoot the gun upwards :redface

 

You can shoot upwards? :confused:
