Aliens 1986 Amstrad CPC 464 8-bit

They cut the power!

Note - the music is from the title screen played over the game because my recorder didn't do sound, (sorry for playing it too loud). The actual in game music is a lot more eerie and suspenseful, also the gunshot sound effect is missing here.

So sigourni weaver vs. Demi moore (from G.I. Jane) hehe. This video game is nice but the sound is somewhat annoying.

@jaymorpheus01 - this is the title music played over the game because my recorder didn't do sound. Unfortunately I played it far too loud. The actual in game music is a lot more eerie and suspenseful, also you get the gun shot sounds which are missing here.

@jaymorpheus01 - I've just added this to the info

i recorded the music from this old game vid and mixed it into drum&bass, lol my friends heard it and were screaming out "TUNE" but only my bro knew what it realy was and said i had to much time on my hands!!

[flyingflark]

You should get it uploaded mate, I for one would like to hear it. :)

I still have this and the "US" version by Electric Dreams. Ah the memories.

This was voted one of the most scary games of all time if i recall correctly. The music was so atmospheric and you never forget when the Alien enters the room with the power cut, using the strobe effect from the gun to find it only to see a final flash of a big fat alien in your face before you die - arrrrgrrghhhh! >:@

I never did complete this. I heard there was a map. Do you have it or know where i can find it?

[flyingflark]

put " derbian lv-426 " into a search engine. There is a map there

[Oppdal77]

Wow, that music doesn't get annoying at all.

[Capslockets]

god this looks so bloody good. shame i cant find it anywhere. when does it come out. ive checked online but it doesnt say can somebody please tell me. i hope my 8 nvidia gefroce 9800gx2 in sli will be able to handle this...i doubt they will ahh well. mayber il just wait until pong comes out in bout 2 years

Yeah, it's laughable now but for the time, it was terrifying in its own little way and much better than the US version. Plus it's hilarious how they took James Horner's slow, menacing Aliens main theme and made a jaunty little chiptune out of it.

Am I right in thinking only Hicks was required to complete the game? Ie. you could even get Ripley killed/left behind on a suicide mission to the Queen then jump back to Hicks in room 1 and win. Go figure.

What a horrible, horrible interface and music track!

Hudson may be 'white'.

This was the music at the title screen. The in-game music was a LOT better than this as it was really eerie. Shame that couldn't have been uploaded.

How, per chance, can they cut the power? They're ANIMALS!

[jr2nd]

the US version was definatly better.

[xDoubleZer00x]

ooo you had a colour screen... mine was a mere green :(

[Maitresinh]

great tune, one of my favorite on cpc !

[JeDorsBeaucoupTrop]

Too bad that the music doesn't fit the game atmosphere.

Better than the C64 version IMHO.
