The state of Alien videogames is largely bad with the exception of AvP 2000 and Isolation. It's still funny to me that the first Alien game was a straight up reskinned clone of another game. pac man. no poo poo

AvP 2 on PC is still my favorite multiplayer shooter of all time and all 3 single player sections were really good.

Two crap versions of other games (admittedly Pac-Man on 2600 was already a bit poo poo anyway), compiled into one boring mess, with nothing about the gameplay really resembling anything to do with Alien at all  This thing however, while not exactly being much to look at or listen to, at least tried something unique and may well be the first "horror" game which was actually tense (like a horror game should be), and not some rushed-out crap simply bearing a horror movie title with poo poo nonsensical gameplay. It's not for everyone but I'd take it over that other abomination.

I liked the aliens arcade shooter game. Kinda funny that the aliens 3 SNES/Sega game had you shooting aliens when the movie didn't have any guns until the very end. They must have made it before the movie came out or something.

I mean obviously it's because Alien 3 had just been released in cinemas and we all really needed that tie-in! Holy poo poo, it's just so weird.

We talked about this earlier and I don't remember the game modes. I think one was that you start out with a small group of Marines and one alien. And each time a Marine dies they turn into an alien. Here's a video I found a while ago. The first map is in a temple where the walls and stairs and everything start changing around them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOc5i2zIkOw

I dreamt about that Aliens Left 4 Dead game last night. Fighting through a ruined, dead metropolis. In the background there were skyscrapers half cocooned with alien hives, hundreds of thousands of drones swarming the buildings as the marines were gunning down all kinds of aliens in the streets. It was a completely hopeless situation... and it was also completely badass.

Xenophobe owned. I played the poo poo out of the Nintendo version, and loved the rare occasion I could play it at the arcade. I wonder if there's a port for the Switch yet.

I watched Alien Resurrection for the first time in roughly 15 years today, and I really liked it much more than before. Maybe my standards are dropping as I get older or something. Highlights for me:
It’s shame how mediocre the script was in general, though. However, it’s still a surprisingly focused movie, thanks to the director. Maybe I might watch the first AVP again. I have not seen that since theaters.

Said it before, but they should do an Alien3 special edition that fixes the janky lighting on the puppet.

The special edition of alien 3 is not any better than the theatrical version. The whole thing is bad and changing the alien from a dog to an ox is not going to fix everything wrong with that movie. Alien, Terminator, predator, Robocop, I don't care what, there are ever, at most, 2 movies in any franchise worth remembering.

As a kid I had an Alien3 toy that had bull horns on it. I rewatched the movies a few years ago and was wondering why they had added horns to the figure when the movie alien was more dog-like.

The whole thing is bad and changing the alien from a dog to an ox is not going to fix everything wrong with that movie. There’s a whole lot different than just the dog/ox. There’s a huge subplot where they actually successfully capture the Alien, theres a new opening to the movie, there’s more with a Michael Bishop at the end, and most of the prisoners actually get names if not personalities. The movie is still flawed, but the assembly cut is a definite improvement. pooch516 posted:You just solved a life-long mystery for me. As a kid I had an Alien3 toy that had bull horns on it.

The closest that line got to the “original” Alien was the Warrior Alien from the AvP two-pack. The Scorpion Alien was as close as we got to the ones from ‘Aliens’ (and the toy loving exploded, which was  ).
