Alien(s) games
Group Description
Specifically denotes games that are licensed (or unlicensed) offshoots of the Alien/Aliens movies. Also see
Aliens Vs. Predator Series.
Games based on the movies:
Due to the theme of the movies it may seem natural that most games in this game group are action games. The first movie, however, spawned a
Pac Man variant and a
strategy game where the player manages the ship crew. The second movie
Aliens also inspired a bunch of varied games: a
genre mix which includes different mini games like flying or mazes, a
first person action game, a
side-scrolling action game and even a
turn-based strategy game.
The different games based on the third movie however
Alien³ (
NES,
SNES and
other systems) are all side-scrolling action games, save for the
Game Boy version which is played in a top-down view. Two later released first person shooters are
Alien trilogy based on the first three movies and
Alien Resurrection based on the eponymous fourth movie.
Games based on the Alien universe
There are also other games which belong to this group but are not directly based on the movies:
Aliens: A Comic Book Adventure is a adventure game based on the comic books,
Aliens Online was an online-only multiplayer shooter and
Aliens: The Roguelike is an unlicensed roguelike.
