User Summary An action game that closely follows the events of the 1986 movie. The player controls a group of Colonial Marines sent to investigate the colony on LV-426. As the game progresses, the goal changes to survival. Success is measured by the number of marines left at the end of the game. The game consists of 6 completely different stages (almost mini-games). Stage 1: Land the dropship- a flight sim style sequence Stage 2: Return to the APC - a side scroller/maze shoot'em up Stage 3: Operations Room Defense - an up/down action sequence like Tapper, where you keep the Aliens away from your marines Stage 4: Airduct Escape - a maze sequence Stage 5: Rescue Newt - action similar to stage 2 Stage 6: Alien Queen - a 1st person view, boxing style fight
