About this product

Product Information

Based on Ridley Scott's groundbreaking film from 1979, Alien for the Atari VCS is a surprisingly good Pac-Man clone (complete with tunnel exits and background siren sounds) and is easily one of the best movie-based games for the system. Players control a flamethrower-equipped Ripley as she eats dots (actually, she's clearing her ship of Alien eggs) while dodging three Alien creatures that roam the maze. The game has solid controls, fast gameplay, and two monotony-reducing features: prizes to collect and Freeway-like bonus rounds in which players must run up a playfield filled with aliens. The only real drawback to the game (other than its derivative nature) is its cartoonish depiction of the alien creatures. However, given the graphical limitations of the system, this weakness is understandable. <!--Book-->

    This is the best seller I have dealt with on ebay EVER! I ordered two computer games and accidentally overpaid shipping. He reached out to me and gave me a partial refund on shipping. The games arrived quickly, as described, and very well packaged. Just finished testing both games and they are perfect! A great seller who is selling things at a great value. I will definitely be doing more business with this seller! A++++!

    Top drawer seller. The appearance of the dividers looks very professionally made. The condition upon arrival was perfect, as they were bagged and sealed. This is a great value for the money. Buy your Akro-Mils dividers from this seller and you won't be disappointed. Shipping was fast and packing was exceptional. The seller even threw in a few extras which really sweetened the deal. Thanks a bunch !!

    If you like Pac man, you'll love this one. If you don't, you still might like it. Its pretty much the standard "get chased around until you eat one of the limited number of power pellets, and then you do the chasing. One different aspect is that, after you clear a screen of all the dots(eggs), yo have to cross through streams of aliens, going in opposite directions, and make it to the top without touching any of them. Kinda like Frogger. So its like Pac Man/Frogger with an Alien face. The label is dark and sinister , and looks good in your collection. If you're an Atari freak, you should definitely consider Alien.

    Vintage Atari at its finest.

    As an Alien fan I was happy to find this game for my collection. 80’s and nostalgic, game play is typical for this Atari era...lame. But to find the game with manual and box, great price too, truly awesome!
