I remember that scene in the movie when Ripley told Gorman to get his team outta there and suddenly decided to say "fok it" and dyed her hair blonde, told Burke to "keep it steady" while she climbed the roof of the APC at full speed, shooting xenomorphs left and right, because Newt is fast af and outran the APC to the end of a hallway when suddenly a xenomorph with wings outta nowhere came out and kidnapped her. Such an iconic scene, I'm surprised they included it in this video game.

Years later I remember thinking that a strong female protagonist shouldn’t cost me $32 in quarters.

Brings back particularly fond memory of mine. My mom used to drop my dad and I off at the Pizza Hut on Saturday every now and again we would get pizza and then we would go next door to Mr. Arcade where I would run around playing arcade games or doing whatever kids do at the time. But there is this one time with this one game that I played it and I played it and I played it. I just wanted to get to the end and my dad stood there with me. It felt like forever and game over after game over. He just kept giving me quarters and I finally beat it. Finally beat the last stage. Oh is great. It's been 35 years. I still remember that (For the record, it wasn't common for him to give me a bottomless amount of quarters .... But I think he wanted me to get to the end as much as I did)

I wonder how many people legitimately completed this inside an actual arcade. Probably not many. I imagine it would take an awful lot of coins to do so.

Actually I did, not on the first try of course and it was the japansese version so the tank level wasn't there, but after memorizing patterns I could beat the game with 1 credit (still can). Kids saw me entering the arcade and knew what machine I was going to play, made me feel important lol.

@sputukgmail

I got so I could complete it, both times through (this video only shows half the walk through - to finish finish, you had to play through again with different enemy patterns in places) on a single credit, and on a good day, without taking a single hit and killing 100% of the enemies. I can’t remember where the two or three points were I would still usually take a hit - I think one was on the 2nd time through and where the purple goop things come up. And I think I would usually miss one of the aliens on the 2nd time though in the car part …as I recall it was really hard to lay the bullets down fast enough to get one alien that would come along the ceiling I think it was. It’s a game where everything is 100% predictable though so with enough practice, a perfect game is very possible. I don’t know how many people did get that good but the fact I did it, and could get a perfect game maybe 1 in 5 times, means it can’t have been /that/ hard as I was never the best at arcade game although I loved playing them.

I played this at the arcade in college. It took about 4 quarters to learn the patterns. After that, it was probably the easiest game I ever encountered and would consistently get thru on 1 life. Got boring, but it was a way to spend the break between PolySci and doing the noon news. Rule 1: Once you get the flamethrower, you never give it back.

@@ladysybaris ok - 4 quarters to learn it? Both passes through all the levels? I know it’s all 100% predictable once you learn it, but I am sceptical you could get through without being caught by more of the gotchas to finish on just 4 quarters let alone learn it. I got to the point where I could get through both times without a single hit of damage maybe 1 time in 5, but even learning the different game mechanics like how to use the mech suit and its flame thrower and working out the “mothers” tail attack patterns compared to the acid attacks etc, sorry…I think you may be exaggerating to have learned it all that quickly. 20 quarters…maybe I could believe if you were exceptionally good at it. Also / a full pass through all levels twice to properly finish the game would take close to an hour when played perfectly without a hit of damage (might have been 40 mins, it was a long time ago but around that) - that’s a lot of entertainment for 1 quarter which is why it was one of my fav arcade games - great value for money once you did get good at it :)

This game kicked so much ass in my 8 year old mind. Hundreds of quarters well spent as a kid in arcades.

So many different kinds of aliens!

Holy cow, this game is difficult.

Yes, it was possible to finish the game playing it through twice (this video only shows half of the walk through) without taking a single hit of damage. I used to play it a lot until I got so I could do that, and I wouldn’t count it that I “won” unless it was a zero damage play through. One credit at 50p in ‘91 would keep me entertained for around an hour if I recall correctly. It was always my first port of call when going to the pub on campus in my final year at uni - that’s how come I had the time (and spare cash) to get to learn the alien patterns 100%.
