Title
Aliens on the C64 is a very immersive experience and a textbook example of how to make a good movie tie-in(at least in the standards of C64). What the game does is offer the complete storyline of the movie of the same name and follow through it with a series of minigames. There are six of them and each of them takes an existing concept from previous action or arcade games(including those such as Master of the Lamps and its flying through hoops), where the most interesting one is traversing the maze with your rifle and shooting at the xenomorphs. The game is peppered with dialogue sequences and amazing stills from the movie and makes the run truly fascinating, though the minigames are also very hard plenty of times, and the last one in particular demands some pixel-perfect precision.
