"Outstanding. Now all we need is a deck of cards."

Aye, makes sense - and it works for me too - a chance to play Aliens: The Game (essentially anyway)? YES PLEASE! Played it MZ...years ago!!!!! Jesus, no wonder my eyes are buggered now.

^ Christ! I think I remember that!

Same here. Fantastic game! At the time. Real tense. Wasn't there an action game on the sega genesis a few years later? Man, I'm getting old.

Now this is a co-incidence. I had a dream the other night I was in a store and they were having a huge sale on VHS and Mega Drive games, and there were huge bookcases packed with them. I was rummaging through the bargains with wide eyes - and one title I saw on the shelf in this dream was Aliens, just as Shoot posted.

I remember that game too, my mate had it on his Amiga 1200, I thought it was super flash at the time!

I'm interested in the game fo' sho', but that trailer gives nothing away except that it seems to be picking up where the second film left off plot wise, and discounting the third which isnt a bad thing. Lets hope its good! The second film is the best in the series imo. (Blapshemy to some, I know) But it really does have the most source material to play around with. Well, it is a teaser trailer after all. Personally, I'm much more interested in playing this than I am/was in playing that recent Aliens vs Predator game. The only campaign i could really get into was the marines. Though not great it was coherent. So the bar was set pretty low with that one. Making a better game would be like jumping over a newspaper.

Yes, there is a game called Alien 3 for the SNES and Genesis. The same title, but two diffrent games for each console. The SNES version had some great graphics at the time.

I used to play it in the dark when I was a kid.

Over here you can see scans of an A:CM article in an upcoming video game magazine. You get to visit the Sulaco AND the Nostromo? How would that even be possible?

^^ I hope this is more than 4 player, which seems to be some industry standard for some reason! eg: SIX of you can play levels! ps: Where are these shots from?

[bassman]

ps: Where are these shots from? Sega released them because they're about to show off a good portion of the game behind-closed-doors at Gamescom. http://www.avpgalaxy.net/2011/08/17/...screenshots-3/

I might get this game for Wii U if it stays a FPS and uses the controllers gyroscope, it would be just like Zelda 3D's FPS mode and ramp up the interactivity.
