This 1990 Aliens game by Konami has insanely colorful graphics, and simple but fun gameplay. In certain areas, this weirdly blond Ripley has a radar that shows the positions of snearky aliens that suddenly pop up from vents and grates to attack. The music consists of well-composed high energy FM tracks, certain themes seem to be inspired by soundtrack of The Terminator.
Whoa, colors
Log entries
- Completed the game using 21 continues.
- Completed the game using 6 continues (MAME (5 lives)). I completed the game again, recording it as a YouTube Halloween video.
144ms auto-fire seems to work well with the MiSTer Aliens core.
- Completed the game on difficulty ().
Flipperkælderen on Nørrebro had a real Aliens cabinet. I completed it with Malu (in free play mode). I played as Hicks for the first time, which was a nice surprise.
I was listening for the music from this game, but the arcade was blasting the Doom soundtrack so loud, I couldn't hear anything.
- Completed the game on difficulty (FBNeo).
Beat this and got 14 RetroAchievements.
