    Damn, I wish that Capcom AVP game had made it to one of the consoles instead of just staying in the arcades! I didn't even know that it existed, but it looks freakin' awesome!

    I didn't know that the SNES Alien 3 was a different game from the Genesis Alien 3 either. Otherwise I would own it.

    Was talking to my nephew and his best friend about how badass it would be if they made an FPS based on the AVP movie, complete with the ever-shifting maze hunting arena!

    I still don't like FPS, and the AVP ones are impossibly hard to play, but they're still cool. I own them all, but I rarely play them. The PC ones are really insanely difficult to play.
    You can't run with the big dogs if you pee like a puppy!

    Get BIT!

    The top-down GB game from BITS should play in color, as well. I certainly remember it having that when I played it.

    Anyway, there's some interesting games in here. Alien 3 (released for every system known to man like so many games from that publisher) never really caught my attention, but I've got to give it a serious go sometime. The MSX game is just plain odd, and unfortunately didn't seem to play too well. Aliens, Konami's arcade game from 1990, is an interesting reward considering they blatantly ripped off the series in Contra. Aliens is 16 years old, but despite that there hasn't been an arcade Contra since it appeared - only games like Sunset Riders and Mystic Warrior that play pretty much just like it.

    For some reason the picture I linked of it doesn't show up. I love that game. Playing it in MAME with a mouse isn't bad either.
    Btw i just gave it a try in mame a while ago.

    I enjoy it,it's not bad for a license game at all.

    It all most begs the question why.. it never got a port in the frist place.
