Aliens is a simple text-mode action game. It's apparently based on "a BASIC program from "The Big Fat Book of Computer Games" by Tim Hartnell, 1984" according to the documentation. Basically you (the 'H') need to crash into all of the defenseless aliens ('A's) while avoiding everything else, including the droids ('D"s), the mines ('*'s) and asteroids (boxes). Aliens for DOS throws you into an intense, action-packed adventure as you fight against waves of ruthless extraterrestrial invaders. Based on the iconic movie franchise, this game immerses you in a battle for survival, as you step into the shoes of a space marine, armed and ready to take on the deadly alien menace. Features: Intense Action: Engage in non-stop combat with terrifying alien creatures, including facehuggers and xenomorphs.

Varied Weapons: Use an arsenal of powerful weapons, from pulse rifles to flamethrowers, to defend yourself and survive. Creepy Atmosphere: A dark and eerie atmosphere with atmospheric sound effects and tense music that captures the essence of the Aliens universe.
