Alien (Game)
|
|
|---|
The first game based on the franchise, heavily based on Pac-Man. Your job is to run through the hallways of your space ship (ie the maze) and crush all the Kiande Amedha Ovomorphs (ie the dots) which have been placed there. You must also avoid or destroy the adult Kiande Amedha and snatch up as many prizes as possible. Each game lasts until you run out of Humans. If you clear all of the Ovomorphs out of a playing screen, you get a chance to earn extra points in a "Bonus Round and then are returned to a new and more difficult playing screen. All points and Humans remaining are carried over to the new screens.
The object of the Bonus Round is to travel straight up to the top of the screen and grab the prize shown there. You have only eight seconds to do so. You do not lose a Human if you fail, but you earn the point value of the prize if you succeed.
An online version of the Atari game is at RetroGames.
Alien (Game)
|
|
|---|
This is a hybrid strategy/adventure slow-moving but suspense-heavy video game that uses very simple black and green graphics, with a little extra color for some text and for the location of the characters.
Each game begins with one randomly selected Nostromo crew member carrying the Kiande Amedha. The crew member is killed by the Kiande Amedha, which mirrors the death of Kane when he gives birth to the Kiande Amedha in the movie. Once the Kiande Amedha is born, players can control any remaining crew members on a quest to kill the prowling Kiande Amedha. The game included gameplay elements pulled from the movie's plot, such as players having to locate a (secret) synthetic crew member aiding the Kiande Amedha and put them into hypersleep. When the crew is reduced to three there is the option of self destructing the ship and escaping in the Narcissus.
Aliens: The Computer Game (US)

This is a video game based on the film of the same title. It is a series of six minigames strung together via graphical interactive sequences, akin to an adventure game, though the only interaction possible is advancing the dialog, displayed in speech balloons.
After the contact got broken to the base on LV-426, Kiande Amedha and a group of soldiers make their way to this planet. This version features six mini games which are related to the movie. Two of those are action sequences in which the player has to find his way through the complex. He has control over four marines and can switch between them instantly. The other sequences are landing the ship, finding a way through a air duct maze, fending off Kiande Amedha hordes and fighting the Queen.
While the Electric Dreams version is a simple action game, Activision version varies with a different kind of mini games which are related to the movie. You must recognize the equipment for this mission, you had to land the drop ship to the base, you must explore the base and defeat evil aliens.

This is a first-person perspective video game is based on the film of the same title somewhat similar to Space Hulk and set inside an atmosphere processing plant, a maze complex consisting of 255 rooms. The player can directly control a team of Marine soldiers, or can issue orders to the team from the Mobile Tactical Operations Bay (MTOB). When playing from the MTOB, the player has a view of the team's surroundings via video cameras attached to each soldier's helmet.
The player encounters Kiande Amedha throughout the game. Upon killing a Kiande Amedha, the body leaves a deadly pool of acid blood that must be avoided. The player also faces the threat of bio-mechanical growth, which, if left uncontained, results in new Kiande Amedha Ovomorphs and Facehugger enemies. The ultimate goal is to reach the room that houses the Queen and her nests, both of which must be destroyed.

The Great Movie Ride
|
|
|---|
- Opened: May 1, 1989
- Closed: August 13, 2017
- Ride length: 18 minutes, 44 seconds
Giger's Alien was iconic enough to have an audio-animatronic version of it appear in The Great Movie Ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World. The Kiande Amedha appeared with the attraction's opening in May 1 1989 until the rides closure in August 13, 2017.
If you're a movie buff, then you would have loved seeing your old favorites in the Great Movie Ride. This attraction was housed in a full-scale replica of Hollywood's legendary Graumann's Chinese Theater. In the cement outside the theater you can still find hand, foot (and paw) prints of popular Disney stars and characters.
The ride vehicle entered into a darkened corridor of a seemingly abandoned spaceship, revealing itself to be the Nostromo, the doomed vessel from Alien. The ride vehicle passed an audio-animatronic Ellen Ripley holding a flamethrower as she prepared to confront a creature lurking within the ship. Guests could also hear Jones, Ripley's pet cat, meowing in the darkness, as well as the Nostromo's "Mother" computer warning of an imminent ship self-destruction countdown. Hearing this, the gangster or the bandit became nervous and sped the ride vehicle through the ship, but not before the Kiande Amedha appeared and attacked the guests, popping out from both the ceiling and the wall.
The Great Movie Ride permanently closed on August 13, 2017 to make way for a attraction named Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway.

Aliens is a side-scrolling shooter arcade game based on Aliens.
When Hadley's Hope lost contact with Weyland-Yutani, the Colonial Marine troops of the USS Sulaco decided to send their team to investigate. Lieutenant Ellen Ripley (with blonde hair) and Corporal Dwayne Hicks fight their way with M56 Smartguns, rocket launchers, flamethrowers, and laser-improved weapons, a Power Loader, and bombs through Kiande Amedha, rescue Newt, and kill their Queen, which is a stowaway in the Sulaco.
Aside from Warriors, Queens, Facehuggers, Chestbursters, and a few other variants. Some of them can fly, others can shoot lasers and static electric rays, or even will grow when shot repeatedly and later explode. Some of them also resemble spiders. There are also infectoids. One type also had tentacles, and was encased in resin. Another could throw some harmful bubbles, which apparently contained Facehuggers. There's also a "spinner", which can spin and shoot bubbles of acidic spores.
The game's Japanese version beared a series of differences, and Newt was removed completely.

Aliens: Adventure Game
|
|
|---|
Now you can be a part of the danger and excitement of the hit movie Aliens! From the ruins of the Colony that was destroyed by the Kiande Amedha to the chaos and greed of Earth itself, the Aliens Adventure Game pits you against Kiande Amedha, other dangerous lifeforms, and corrupt Humans as you find out what it takes to be a member of the Colonial Marine Corps.
The Aliens: Adventure Game is a role-playing game (RPG) and accompanying 196-page sourcebook featuring new and at times apocryphal information on the Aliens universe. It featured various chapters and section on the cumbersome mechanics of the game, including a section on the explanation of the game's table-based point scoring system and gave ideas for suggested campaigns to run. The book also featured detailed Marine character sheets, with decent development and treatment of its Marine characters. In terms of illustration, the book exclusively used movie screen shots instead of original illustrations.
It also covered the settings from the film, offering a detailed overview of the Aliens Universe, showing the colonies, corporate culture and other life forms. The book also includes well-detailed information concerning the kiande amedha physiology and behavior.
The book also introduces other new material by introducing the whole ICC system of planets and also introduces new insect-like creatures on one planet called Harvesters, which are featured in a number of new encounters used in its examples. The writing also includes a description of how they think internet shopping will be in the future.
The Adventure Game features a somewhat unique treatment on kiande amedha physiology, featuring some errors in its description of the kiande Amedha, some of which went against certain established premises from the films. These elements were not used in the Aliens comics or novels or video games. Despite kiande Amedha not having eyes, "Alien vision" is described in the book, and the creatures are said to have a visual spectrum, somewhat like the Yautja. kiande amedha soldiers are shown to lay Ovomorphs (harkening back to an idea from cutscenes from the original Alien). kiande Amedha facehuggers are also shown to be able to implant embryos in dead bodies.

Alien War was a "total reality experience" attraction in the United Kingdom that originally opened at the Arches in Glasgow themed around the Alien series of films. Created by John Gorman and Gary Gillies, the attraction had a short run as a mobile event at various exhibition centres in the UK (including the Bournemouth International Centre and the Abe and Conference Centre). The adult Kiande Amedha were realised by performers in suits and the facehugger creatures were animatronic effects.
On 15 October 1993 it opened in the basement of the Trocadero centre in London. The permanent attraction in London closed after a flood in August 1996 and was never reopened. It made a short return between December 1999 and January 2000 in the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow in a modified form.
Alien War (now called Alien Wars) opened at its original home at the Arches Glasgow on December 6, 2008 and will run until August 30, 2009 in a modified format that is unrelated to the 20th Century Fox film series.

Alien3: The Gun
|
|
|---|
In an alternate plot of the movie, two Colonial Marines are sent to the USS Sulaco to rescue survivors, only to crash land on Fiorini 161 after fighting a Super Facehugger. They discover that Fiorini 161 has been infested by hundreds - possibly even thousands - of Runners. They kill countless Kiande Amedha, rescuing prisoners until they met the Kiande Amedha' "Big Boss" (the alien from the movie). The Marines destroy the planet's defense systems, programmed by the Weyland-Yutani corporation.
They eventually kill the "Big Boss", where they meet an unknown man. The Marines kill the man, only to be confronted a squad of commandos. The records of the incident on Kiande Amedha are removed, and the facility there is closed and almost forgotten. The USCM removes two names from the Colonial Marine ranks. The "names" are the player Marines. They are implied to be M.I.A., as no one knows if they're dead or alive.
Aliens: Ride at the Speed of Fright
|
|
|---|---|
Aliens: Ride at the Speed of Fright was an interactive movie ride. The viewer would sit in a chair that would move, vibrate and jolt, all in an effort to simulate the viewer experiencing what was being shown on the screen. The ride last roughly 20 minutes long with the pre-movie being 10 minutes and the ride itself being 10 minutes. It’s comprised of stock footage used from Aliens (the ships, some close-ups of the kiande amedha) and original footage shot with the Marines, and obviously the ride segments.
A Colonial Marine called Hyer has just returned back to his ship, the New Jersey having narrowly escaped a Kiande Amedha encounter on the mining colony Takaia 3. Hyer recounts the experience to a Marine Captain and B Squad. The mission was supposed to be a routine reconnaissance for A Squad but they encountered the Kiande Amedha – hundreds of them. The marines activated a bomb and tried to escape. During their retreat, the APC crashed and was badly damaged. Many of the marines were injured, Hyer included but he escaped to find their Dropship destroyed. He found a shuttle on the colony and left the planet.
The Captain is determined not to leave the other injured marines behind and others the B squad and Hyer back to the colony. Their orders are to rescue A Squad before the bomb goes off. The Sergeant tells his marines and the viewer/rider to buckle in (complete with a shot of the chairs belt buckles) and then the ride begins.
The ride starts with the Dropship plummeting towards the colony until you land and the APC drives out. From this point on you’re in the APC, as if you’re the driver. We drive through the interior of the colony complex, avoiding various obstacles and mounting debris until the APC arrives at the wreckage of A Squad's APC.
B Squad gets out and carries the wounded marines into their APC while fending off an Kiande Amedha attack. The marines then pull out of the complex in the APC. After crashing down a hole, the APC arrives in the Queen’s lair and using the turret manages to kill her. The APC then uses the turrets again to blast a hole to the outside and escapes, making it back onto the Dropship in time. As the Dropship heads back into orbit, the bomb detonates. A Facehugger drops into frame shortly after.

Alien Trilogy
|
|
|---|
Alien Trilogy is a first-person shooter video game. The console versions featured only a singleplayer campaign, but the PC version included a networked deathmatch multiplayer mode.
Lt. Ellen Ripley (in a "modified" version of her Alien3 appearance) and a team of Marines set down on LV-426 to investigate the colony located there. Soon after touching down, most of the team is killed — only Ripley and Bishop survive. Ripley is then forced to fight her way through swarms of Kiande Amedha and combat androids before confronting and killing the Queen.
After the colony is secured Ripley travels to a prison facility where she encounters Weyland-Yutani soldiers, who have been sent to eliminate her. After fighting through the soldiers, along with more androids and Runners, Ripley fights and kills another Queen. With the prison now cleansed, Ripley finally heads back to LV-426 and enters the Derelict ship, killing a third and final Queen there. Ripley and Bishop escape from the planet in a Dropship. However, as they leave, a shuttlecraft similar to the Narcissus is seen entering orbit. After Ripley enters hypersleep for the trip home, it is revealed that the crew of the shuttle (presumably likely another team sent by Weyland-Yutani) have been attacked by Facehuggers, and a Kiande Amedha emerges from the shadows of the craft.
In the game, when Ripley is killed, a cutscene will initiate.
- Runner: Ripley falls on the floor as the Runner headbites her.
- Warrior: Ripley faints as she is approached by one. It then headbites her.
- Facehuggers: Ripley tries pulling the Facehugger of her face but fails and passes out.
- Queen: The tail rams through Ripley's chest and the Queen lifts her up, headbiting her off-screen.
- Other - Ripley groans as a acid-burning sound happens as she falls to the floor.
- Human/Android - Ripley is shot in the stomach and falls to the floor.
Differences from films
Play as Lieutenant Ellen Ripley in all three film settings, rather than Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley.
Although PMCs appear in Alien3, they are many more and are spread throughout the levels, this includes synthetics and military personnel.
Ripley reaches the Derelict not featured in the films Alien or Aliens.
Bishop and Ripley fly a Dropship off LV-426 and are the only two that survive.
Differences from versions
LV-426 is destroyed in both Playstation and Sega Saturn Alien Trilogy games. Ripley escapes the Derelict and escapes in a Dropship piloted by Bishop.
In the Sega Saturn game they then reach the USS Sulaco and Bishop puts Ripley in stasis and her unit is ejected into the Narcissus.

Alien: The Roleplaying Game
|
|
|---|
Alien: The Roleplaying Game is a 2019 tabletop role-playing game. The game details the rules and details of gameplay, and provides extensive details on the wider Alien universe in the year 2183.
The game game features two distinct play modes — Cinematic play consists of pre-made scenarios, while Campaign play is designed for longer, more complex play across multiple scenarios with the same set of characters. The starter book includes one Cinematic mode scenario, titled Hope's Last Day, with more due to be released in the coming months and years in the form of "Adventure Modules", additional sourcebooks containing details of each new scenario.
The core rulebook contains a multitude of references to previous Alien franchise stories and characters. Examples include the Church of Immaculate Incubation (as featured in Aliens: Outbreak), Lasalle Bionational (also featured in Aliens: Outbreak), planets such as O'Bannon's World (mentioned in Aliens: Border Lines, and named in reference to Alien writer Dan O'Bannon), Linna 349 (mentioned in Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual), Bracken's World (as seen in the Aliens: Colonial Marines comic series) and New Galveston (LV-178) (from Alien: Out of the Shadows and Alien: Sea of Sorrows), space stations Anchorpoint Station (from Alien 3: The Unproduced Screenplay) and Arceon (from Vincent Ward's unproduced script for Alien3), the outpost Charon Base (from Aliens: Rogue), fuel depots Sphacteria (from Aliens: Dead Orbit) and Wright-Aberra (from Aliens: Defiance), and the mutagen Plagiarus praepotens (from Alien: The Cold Forge).
Another reference concerns the treatment of prisoners on space stations, who are said to be detained in cells maintained at zero gravity and permanent vacuum, the inmates suspended in pressure suits within. This same means of detention features in the 1981 film Outland, which has often been noted for its overt stylistic similarities to Alien.
"I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies."
Space is vast, dark, and not your friend. Gamma rays and neutrino bursts erupt from dying stars to cook you alive, black holes tear you apart, and the void itself boils your blood and seizes your brain. Try to scream an no one can hear you — hold your breath and you rupture your lungs. Space isn't as empty as you'd think, either — its frontiers are ever expanding. Rival governments wage a cold war of aggression while greedy corporations vie for valuable resources. Colonists reach for the stars and gamble with their lives — each new world tamed is either feast or famine. And there are things lurking in the shadows of every asteroid — thins strange and different and deadly.
Alien: Chariot of the Gods
|
|
|---|
Chariot of the Gods is the first "Adventure Module" for Alien: The Roleplaying Game. It is a 44-page sourcebook, written by Andrew E. C. Gaska and illustrated by Martin Grip, that details the first add-on scenario for the game's Cinematic play mode.
The module's name is likely inspired by the 1968 book Chariots of the Gods? by Erich von Däniken, which theorized that the technologies and religions of ancient civilizations may have been the result of contact with advanced extraterrestrial beings, welcomed and worshipped as gods by primitive humans. Paul W. S. Anderson specifically cited von Däniken's work as an inspiration for his film Alien vs. Predator, while it was also noted as an inspiration by the writers of Prometheus.
The presence of the M41A Pulse Rifle in the Cronus' armory is anachronistic — several sources state the weapon was first introduced in 2171, yet the Cronus was launched and disappears in 2110, 61 years before this.
The job was routine, the money fair. Then the damn company diverted you to answer a distress call from a ship that disappeared almost 80 years ago — a derelict carrying something bizarre, twisted, and alien. What the ship's frozen crew brought back with them was bad enough — what they themselves were turning into was a bloody nightmare. Add to that an annoying sensor ghost shadowing you in the void, and your stress level is shot.
It's all a bit much.
You don't get paid enough to deal with monsters. But hold your breath, count to three, and play your cards right with this one, and you just might walk away very rich. Oh, who am I kidding?
You're all going to die.
Alien: Destroyer of Worlds
|
|
|---|
Destroyer of Worlds is the second Adventure Module for Alien: The Roleplaying Game.
The scenario's name is inspired by Robert Oppenheimer's quote "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” after witnessing the first detonation of a nuclear weapon on July 16th 1945.
The Bodyburster (Ariarcus) is seemingly a reference to the Hybrid from Alien 3: The Unproduced Screenplay, sharing it's method of birth, more human-like face, infectious bite and how normal kiande amedha will seek to destroy it.
The mission was a manhunt, the objectives clear—track down four fugitives, recover any assets they may have made off with, and keep ‘em all out of enemy hands. Go find them on a frozen moon full of hostiles and get it done on the eve of war. Nothing you couldn’t handle.
But what it is that these bastards stole—and how the hell it got inside them—is another thing altogether. It’s all above your paygrade, marine—but somehow you’re the one who’s got to deal with it.
Of course, now there’s an invasion fleet incoming, and there’s something else, too—something much worse. Something out there hates you—hates everyone. Something big and ugly. Something with metal teeth—and you’re pretty sure it ain’t alone.
Yeah, the mission was supposed to be a simple manhunt. Instead it turned out to be just another glorious day in the corps.

But no one pays you to ask why, only to follow orders. You’re just a grunt—no offense. So lock and load your pulse rifle, marine—you’ve got a job to do. Protect and serve the citizens and colonies of the Outer Rim colonies—no matter what the cost.
