| history | Aliens (c) 1990 Konami. Picks up in the film with Lt. Ripley and Cpl. Hicks attempting to leave the alien-infested colony by shooting their way out. - TECHNICAL - Game ID : GX875 Main CPU : KONAMI (@ 3 Mhz) Sound CPU : Z80 (@ 3.579545 Mhz) Sound Chips : YM2151 (@ 3.579545 Mhz), K007232 (@ 3.579545 Mhz) Screen orientation : Horizontal Video resolution : 288 x 224 pixels Screen refresh : 60.00 Hz Palette colors : 512 Players : 2 Control : 8-way joystick Buttons : 2 => [1] Shoot1, [2] Shoot2 - TRIVIA - Released in March 1990. This game is based upon the movie of the same name (released in 1986). - UPDATES - The US version is slightly different, it has the "Winners Don't Use Drugs" screen. The Japanese version is very unlike any other version to appear in other countries : * Most obviously, both APC driving levels have been entirely deleted. * As such, the subplot of rescuing Newt is gone. Therefore, Newt never appears in Stage 1. * When you take on the 'Shrinky-Dink Alien Quartet', the first one to fully enlarge hops off-screen, leaving you to only battle the other three. * Many of the aliens, zombies, and mid-bosses can be killed with fewer shots. *Two new kinds of minor enemy appear in the game : a) An adult alien bursts out of the background wall during the vent portion of what we consider Stage 5. It functions much like the Ground-Poppers and is destroyed just as easily, but with new animations and from a different angle. It is the only one of its type in the game. b) The small form of the Shrinky-Dink Alien, as seen in the form of the second mid-boss in Stage 5, reappears in Stage 7. It stands alone on the catwalks with a ring of orange energy circling it and the catwalk in a kind of 'shield'. A few shots destroy it. * Titles have been given to each level. They are as follows, transcribed as they appear in the game. Level 1 - Living Quarters Level 2 - Factory Level 3 - Factory2 Level 4 - Queen Alien's DEN Level 5 - Escape Route Level 6 - Battle Ship SULACO * Special weapons and bombs appear much more frequently in the game, dropping from the sky for the players to use at regular intervals. * It is now possible to attain 1-ups in the game. If a player is still carrying a weapon from the last special weapon power-up, the next one to fall on-screen will contain a 1-up. It comes in the form of a red ribbon with a bow wrapped around the word '1up'. * In addition to the other enemies in this section, ground-popping aliens now appear earlier, during the nest portion of what we know as Stage 3. * In addition to the other enemies, flying aliens now appear during the first power loader segment, in Stage 3. * Flying aliens are much more frequent throughout the outdoor portion of Stage 5 and Stage 7. * Extra exploding barrels appear throughout the game. * Numerous aliens have changed color. Adult aliens are now purple instead of maroon, face-huggers are now flesh-toned instead of green, etc. * Many of the adult aliens in the elevator sequence of Stage 3 have been removed. They have been replaced with flying aliens that do NOT damage the cables. This makes this sequence much easier. * The beams from the 3-Way gun have changed color from purple to orange. * During the final battle, the queen does NOT breathe fire/acid at you. Instead, after flashing white, she sends out multiple images of herself as a projectile! These are wider and therefore are easier to be hit by. * The queen charges at you constantly even if you are in the power loader. This makes the final battle much more difficult. - STAFF -
