Proper nostalgia here. This game was in the cafe in Birmingham Airport in the 90s, used to play the bugger every weekend when me and my mates used to hang out there plane spotting.
for me, in jr high and high school, every september the local end of summer fair would come to town, and they always had a tent for arcade games. This game, and Captain America and the Avengers always killed about 30 dollars worth of quarters for me.
Actually, the weapons were basically this effective in the movies and the marines weren't able wipe them all out like that in "Aliens" for 3 reasons. 1. Sgt. Apone disarms all the marines while they traveling near a power generator that would destroy the entire colony if damaged by gunfire. 2. They are ambushed while mostly unarmed. 3. Their escape ship containing most of their weapons and equipment crashes and is destroyed.
Konami made a fucking kickass game. Knowing what we have today makes me admire it more because this is what people had at the time. They got pretty much everything right. Plus on the motion tracker part, I love how it actually helps by showing where the enemies are going to come from rather than just an aesthetic, they didn't have to but they did anyways. Some developers really must've cared for their work and wanted players to enjoy
What I like about this arcade game and others like it (Aliens vs Predator arcade, Aliens: Extermination arcade, Aliens: Armageddon arcade) as well as the Kenner "Aliens" toy line is the different variants of Xenomorphs not seen in the movies or other published material (comics, novels).
Wow, this game looks like it was very enjoyable. I, unfortunately, was born 10 years after it came out and I don't see arcade machines much anymore. Its nice to be able to look at a small piece of the past though.
@TheCastellan - Arcade games (even arcade style games for home systems) are legally REQUIRED to have level timers. I think the designers get flogged if they don't include them.
Every Konami arcade game of that era had a timer even if it wasn't visible. Stalling in any level had a negative effect, usually resulting in the player getting killed. TMNT: Bomb Dropping - Insta-death X-Men: Bomb Dropping - Insta-death (at least the japanese version let you know you had 20 seconds left before dying lol) The Simpsons: Killed by 'Hurry Up' cartoon hand Sunset Riders: Killed by giant bird Mystic Warriors: Killed by giant Tengu mask Vendetta: the more you stall, more extra enemies appear behind the player character, etc.
It's called MAME my dude. MAME emulation is 99.99% accurate for just about anything you can imagine. Can use your own controllers/sticks and everything.
Lore wise the only explanation is maybe they hatched from an electrical alien or say an eel or jellyfish. Game wise it just makes an awesome boss fight aesthetic
yea, the car scene is not in this version. I didn't know the game had 2 loops? I've been so close to completing the first loop. I thought I was close to 1cc'ing the game, but there's a whole second loop waiting for me...
***** me too, I always left while 1st round was finished. Give my money back!! At lease half of it for the 2nd round that I had never played, lol~ I'm so missing the old days, kids always played together after school.
Both APC driving sections were cut from the Japanese version of Aliens. The subplot of rescuing Newt is gone as well. However they're definitely on the US & World versions :0)
I always imagined this was a grown up version of Newt that we got to play in this game. A short-haired blonde Ripley is a bit a stretch, even in a world with scissors and hair dye. XD
original model of Alien Queen is a Tyrannosaurus Rex In the walking posture and on the hind legs, walk upright but hunched forward just like the Tyrannosaurus Rex The game only allows two full laps to it, the score is limited by the number of enemies of the same, the death of Alien Queen is a 200.000 points
A game programming error when killing the enemies that come from the left do not look at the center of the screen, they look to the left side this is because they only created the animations and death sprites of the enemies looking only from the right to the left min 10:19
You know, if you keep shooting the Alien Queen at the end without using the Power Loader to throw her out, after a long while of shooting her the Queen will explode into pieces and the pieces will be dragged out. When you see the cut scene of her being pulled out instead of seeing her squirming, you see the pieces flying out, but then the shot of her face before disappearing stays the same.
I'd buy this in a flash Day 1 on Hamster Arcade Archives. Well I'd pretty much buy all of Konami's arcade games from 1988-1995. Sadly only Sunset Riders has been released so far, so many classics left to go.
There's a version of this game that was slated for release on the Genesis, but it was cancled due to a licensing dispute between Konami and James Cameron. Flash forward to a few weeks ago when I bought a home arcade console from the mall near where I live. The Genesis version is listed on there and it has very little difference from the arcade version.
this was in the arcade I worked at years ago; never saw the 1up until now. Also, when fighting the Alien Queen at the end, if you don't use the power walker on her and just keep shooting her, she will eventually explode into a pile of pieces and fall out of the airlock as a group of pieces during the end cinematic.
It was not released on console due to the high price of the license since the characters and scenarios and their patents are from the original producer of the movie
@@FUTURAGAEL Which is wild as I'm getting more of a Contra 3? feel off this game than Aliens. It's like another game but reskinned slightly. Back when we were kids we let alot slide, while pumping quarters into the machines. Alien themed games were few and far between because of the license fees, and only because of the fall of arcades were we allowed anything decent on home platforms. I say A:CM was sad not only because it was poorly made, but because it was devalued by Gearbox's lack of respect in making it. They had the license, but didn't much care.
@@emprsnm9903 Although Konami had the license, I do not publish it since it happened to other games of the same company with licenses of movies and series, the cost of it because the characters and animations are not Konami Besides the conversion of the same for Nintendo would change many sprites and animations since in the 90s Nintendo eliminated many sprites and animations for the versions of Europe and the United States
I use to crush this coin-op.....👍.....and listening to the Aliens get torched they sou d like they're sayin "BIYAAAAAH...... BIYAHHHHH!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂!!!!!!!!!
@TheVoiceOfTruth Or, perhaps some experiment Weyland Co. were doing. Seeing as how the company has no respect for life, be it human or non human, it would not surprise me if Weyland Co. was doing some sort of dark, black budget project, and those zombie folks were the results, or side effects of.
It is sad how some of the best arcade games were never kept. I mean I would have payed good money to play the proper arcade game of this, much like the simsons, the x-men and a few others.
I played an Alien rail shooter once at the 'Space Center', it's some place with arcade machines and the works in NH. I was pretty cool but I sucked at it hard

fun fact: That was bcs the version was in japanese, in International everything was changed except two stages which you needed to reach Newt.

was a good time bro. I played this in the cafe in Italy.

If the weapons were that effective in the movies the marines would have wiped out the xenomorphs in 10 minutes.

its game over man!

Back in the good ol days before arcades became a thing of the past.
I miss them big time 8-^(.

これとエイリアンVSプレデターは傑作だと思う
Predator commented this video
Bloody hell fella, you would have been an arcade owners worst nightmare back in the 90's. Fair play to you lol
I love this game. I still remember hearing its attract mode blasting in the arcade, "ALIENS!!"
One of my all-time favorite arcade soundtracks. The music in this game is superbly atmospheric.
What really kills me about this game is the motion tracker was far more accurate than it ever was in the movie.
It wasn't more accurate.

This is the best Alien 2D Game Ever Made ❤️️❤️️
😍😎
Is this game for SNES??? Can you tell me please...
Avp by Capcom is better
This game is frickin awesome. Definitely in my top 10. But I think 94s aliens vs predator just edges it.
What I like about this arcade game and others like it (Aliens vs Predator arcade, Aliens: Extermination arcade, Aliens: Armageddon arcade) as well as the Kenner "Aliens" toy line is the different variants of Xenomorphs not seen in the movies or other published material (comics, novels).

So many quarters, I have no regrets.
I used to have the actual JAMMA board of this back when I had a cab...
Good times.
なつかしいなぁ、ワシが20ん時のゲームや
勤めてたゲーセンで、閉店後にやりまくってクリアした

Think I was 6 yrs old playing this game at the arcades. The music and all scarred me a bit I remember.
You okay now?
Vikashar Haha yes. Mortal Kombat 1 scared me more. I was 9. I think I will make it in this world.
素晴らしいゲームバランス。流石元コナミ。是非、今の技術でリメイクしてもらいたい。
Loved playing this in the arcade as a kid.
Local theater had this arcade game people would gather around and watch me pass the game with 1 quarter so much fun to play
懐かしいなー これ見てエイリアン知りましたよ。当時は子供だったからホラー映画なんて見れなくて😂
結果として映画より斜め上になってしまうこの頃のアーケードゲームが凄くすき
この映画みたいとなるよね
Elevator: "We can only go on if you kill all the aliens here".
Human: "Say no more".
This game is really cool even now.
An arcade games that DOESN'T have a timer on each stage??? Someone at Konami probably lost their job over that!
lol
Try stalling in any stage...you have been warned ;)
To me, NO timer is a good thing. :D
@TheCastellan - Arcade games (even arcade style games for home systems) are legally REQUIRED to have level timers. I think the designers get flogged if they don't include them.

The Simpsons: Killed by 'Hurry Up' cartoon hand
Sunset Riders: Killed by giant bird
Mystic Warriors: Killed by giant Tengu mask
Vendetta: the more you stall, more extra enemies appear behind the player character, etc.
これゲーセンであったなぁ。今でも充分楽しめそう
I remember being blown away by this game as a 6 yr old until TMNT completely overshadowed it
Man I remember playing this in a Walmart in South Carolina when I was a kid...Good Times
never knew this existed, well done konami. thanks for upload
the most memorable Aliens game for me.
近所のゲーセンですこし前に全クリしました。ゲームが下手でも慣れればけっこうサクサク進めるはず
ラスボスのクイーンエイリアンとの一騎打ちでも、映画通りパワーローダーに乗って戦える演出が素晴らしい！
でも映画ではここまでリプリーは活躍してないよね…
One of the best challenging arcade games indeed!
I always loved that there were zombies in this game... because they fought soooo many zombies in the movie(s).
何の説明も無くこの動画を見せられたら、魂斗羅の続編(海外版)だと思い込むｗ
まぁ魂斗羅のエイリアンはギーガー氏のエイリアンがモデルだからね。
On the escape route stage look at the background. LB426 looks like some kind of mega city.
くそ懐かしい❗子供の頃スケート場のゲームコーナーにあってよくやってたわ。(笑)
This game looks awesome, aside from some of the repetition. I would love to play it on the original hardware.
The American version has two stages where you shoot at Aliens while riding on top of the APC. They're brief, but they do add some variety.
It's called MAME my dude. MAME emulation is 99.99% accurate for just about anything you can imagine. Can use your own controllers/sticks and everything.
16:34 How the hell to you even create an electric alien!? Did a bolt of lightning have a chest burster implanted in to it?
The makers probably got ideas from the Gremlins movie that came out that same year.
Because Japan. That's why...
No..... face hugger caught a pikachu :(. Poor pikachu.
Lore wise the only explanation is maybe they hatched from an electrical alien or say an eel or jellyfish. Game wise it just makes an awesome boss fight aesthetic
Aliens
legendary arcade game
Legendary Movie
Bring it on 💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟
The Xenomorph Queen really scared the hell out of me
A chi lo dici.
Is really weird that there is no car chase in this version :/. Great video btw
I think it's Japanese version.
As I know there's no car chasing / shooting stage in that version.
Only for Worldwide or US version ?
yea, the car scene is not in this version. I didn't know the game had 2 loops? I've been so close to completing the first loop. I thought I was close to 1cc'ing the game, but there's a whole second loop waiting for me...

The missing vehicle sections are so tough. I think they also run the flow of the game.
Aliens Vs Predator was the improved version of this game
.... Nothing can beat the flamethrower!!!
I always imagined this was a grown up version of Newt that we got to play in this game. A short-haired blonde Ripley is a bit a stretch, even in a world with scissors and hair dye. XD

What with the zombie human thing in level 2? Were those in the movies?
I like how they referenced a long-instinct creature for a fictional creation.
@@gaminggoof1542 The enemy zombie is from original of Konami no appareance in the movie
I loved this game on the arcade!
こういう系ゲーム好きだ
もっと武器や乗り物系アイテムを増やしてバリエーションがあったらなおさら良い
Everytime he grabs an Item:
"SSHHITT!"
It's a funny noise but i think they used the wrong va for ripley.
A game programming error when killing the enemies that come from the left do not look at the center of the screen, they look to the left side this is because they only created the animations and death sprites of the enemies looking only from the right to the left min 10:19

Didn't realise there was an arcade game based on aliens. It looks similar to contra.
I think aliens inspired Contra.
loved that retro sounds
Another classic game i wish they would make for the PS4.
Ps4 is new classic game

The xenomorphs are so smart that they cook pork chops and leave them on the ground to bait humans
It's crazy how short the game is if you emulate it.

No APC shooting stages in the Japanese version? Damn, those were fun. Also, there's no level titles in the North American version.
This Japanese version of the video was the one i played here in Brazil
Hearing the battle cry of the alien Queen feel bad for her
Excellent gameplay 🙂 I play aliens it's fun
If the player stops in that section without getting off the top, the enemies below leave without doing anything, Min 6:15
I thought there was a level you shoot aliens from on the top of the APC driving down a corridor rescuing Newt at the end?
this was in the arcade I worked at years ago; never saw the 1up until now. Also, when fighting the Alien Queen at the end, if you don't use the power walker on her and just keep shooting her, she will eventually explode into a pile of pieces and fall out of the airlock as a group of pieces during the end cinematic.
Thanks for the tip bro. I'll try that.👍
I see the Alien 3 game lifted a lot from this.
I wish they'd lifted the unlimited ammo too.
I bet there's a lot of differences between world and japan versions of Alien.
"You have also survived.............Congratulations!!!"

Too the alien queen is killed and exploted, and finished game and all enemies destroyed in the levels all clean is a 980.000 pts
Wait, what happened to the level where you are on top of the APC shooting the aliens as they are running towards you??

Sounds like the Aliens vs Predator arcade game, which is a great game.

It's only on the North American release. They weren't in the Japanese version
