The Evolution of Alien Franchise Games...

[TrekMD]

OK, continuing with the evolution of the Alien Franchise games, let's take a look at the first arcade game based on the franchise.  This is Aliens which was released in 1990, developed and published by Konami, and based on the 1986 film.

I can remember playing that, was awesome then and looks great even now.. The colours used for the Aliens is a bit whacko though lol.

Classic arcade game right there. Konami really needs to put out a compilation disc of all their arcade games like the Midway one that came out last year. They have released a few small ones over the years but they never have more then a half dozen game on them and I don't think this game was on any of them. Konami, if you're reading this, chop chop

I saw that game back in the day but I never played it.

It will be Chop, Chop if they had of released it, from my research on this game, their were issues with licensing and who they can use from the film in character sprite likeness , like why Ripley looks nothing like Sigourney Weaver , as she didn't want any affiliation with the arcade game arriving some 4 years after the movie. Also contending with Konami losing the licence to host or product another Alien game, that right now belongs to Sega, with its recent titles.

It's the same with Taito's Chase H.Q. Title, again another game that will never grace a compilation, as Porsche would have a field day with a company that is merely a mobile phone dev nowadays, so a wasted opportunity? Yes absolutely!

Want your fix, boot up a copy Mame and do your Alien Squashing and blasting there, and if you can for added atmosphere, wear a motorbike helmet if you have one or access to one, to get that Marine fuelled energy to help deal with the xenomorphs, just make sure your not caught by others wearing it, you could end up looking like a right lamp.
