On the Commodore 64, Aliens: The Computer Game (the Activision/US version) is a film tie-in made up of six different action-oriented mini-games that recreate key scenes from the movie as you guide a squad of Colonial Marines on LV-426. You move through short interactive comic-style story sequences, then tackle varied segments such as piloting the dropship from the Sulaco, identifying and equipping gear, navigating the colony’s corridors, and fighting off xenomorphs in shooter-style stages, culminating in a showdown with the Alien Queen. Each sequence has its own controls and mechanics, so the game feels like a tense, slightly disjointed gauntlet of set pieces rather than one continuous adventure, but it was praised at the time for following the movie closely and building a lot of atmosphere from the mix of modes.
