Aliens (Arcade) Part 3
0Aliens is a 1990 side-scrolling shooter arcade game developed and published by Konami. It is based on the film of the same name and was designed by S. Okamoto and his team.
Hadley's Hope lost contact with Weyland-Yutani, so the Colonial Marine troops of the USS Sulaco decided to send their team to investigate. Players take the role of either Lieutenant Ellen Ripley or Corporal Dwayne Hicks as they fight their way through Xenomorphs before killing their Queen, which is a stowaway in the Sulaco. Three of the levels also featured Newt, where the players must rescue her from the Aliens.
Aside from Drones, Queens, Facehuggers, and Chestbursters, Konami decided to make their own type of Aliens. They are unique, but also weird looking. 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, which reappeared in the AVP arcade game. One Alien 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.
