Alien: Isolation obviously wasn't a film, but is officially canon and set between original and sequel.
Here's some goofs in regards to Alien.
Also, the blue mist engulfs whole area.
DLC
Crew Expendable
Parker is clean shaven and headband is a darker shade of blue
Last Survivor
Finally, Jones doesn't feature whatsoever.
Alien³
Observe.
Bullshit yes, but end screen (in virtually every version) has become strangely iconic.
Their words, not mine.
Game Boy
Objective in overhead adventure is for Ripley to escape in the EEV.
The biggest problem is we're never told when items are useless.
And considering weapons and items have their own (and limited) inventory slots, that's pretty fucking important.
Apart from that - great.
In full:
FIORINA 161
CLASS C PRISON UNIT
IRIS - 12037154
REPORT EEV UNIT 2650 CRASH
Portraits closely resemble live action counterparts, but dialogue is mostly made up.
Ripley and Andrews
Dillon and Bishop
What really boils blood is Game Over screen.
It should be:
"This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off."
Monologue is taken from Alien, so how did they FUCK that up?
Alien 3: The Gun
Two anonymous marines blast their way through Sega's fast-paced arcade rail shooter.
There is so much bullshit, and this boss reeks of it.
Tank?
A giant BASTARD tank?
He looks familiar.
The mind boggles.
SNES
But if you're a massive geek...
Fantastic coincidence?
Who knows?
Intro
I'm confused.
Now shit gets lazy.
But shortly after.
I guess parasite used telekinesis to plant Queen.
(Chuckles).
Proof-reading problems.
Hyper bitchy I know, but when something's right in front of you, it's not exactly difficult to copy.
Environments are right on the money, but not this one.
Drum roll please.
Bollocks.
This is the only version to have Ripley descend into hot lead.
Kudos.
But could they have made poor cow any goofier?
Fright Night
Released only for Amiga and Atari ST, could Tom Holland's classic work as a video game?
Microdeal thought so.
Interestingly, we play charismatic villain.
It's not rocket science.
Now feast your eyes on title screen.
WH-WH-WHAT?
Movie characters are drafted in as enemies and/or potential victims.
Evil Ed (left) and Charley (right)
Along with Amy, Peter, Judy (Charley's mother) and oddly, prostitute Cheryl.
Billy Cole is a notable absentee though.
Goal of game is to survive a week and after each day, Jerry must take forty winks inside coffin, or he'll sizzle like a sausage.
Pass.
And since when did vampires sleep upright?
Hey Jerry, do you think trend will catch on?
Chill out mate, was only asking.
Jesus. Some folk just can't a joke.
Die Hard
Aside from 'title placement', C64 and NES covers are identical.
What's missing?
Guess they didn't have likeness rights?
DOS was the same kinda thing as C64, but with 3D perspective.
If all goes well.
Lovely.
But if Holly is shot.
Why is McClane now wearing an orange vest?
Also, what's with the scratches? Did he get attacked by a wild animal?
NES
To be fair, proper ending with Powell shooting Karl is awesome.
But spoilt slightly.
PC Engine
John wading through lake and torching people with flamethrower?
Must've missed that part.
Tony (left) and Karl (right)
Very good. But I'm not sure that brother used extendable baton thing.
Port features a host of excellent intermission screens.
For example:
Shame there's no digitised speech, or even dialogue.
Time for a real head scratcher.
How do I know?
Cos of what happens next.
Partially animated screens are brilliant, but what were they thinking?
Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza
Okay, some liberties were taken, but for the most part, dialogue (uncensored) and action scenes in first-person shooter follow source material very closely.
Due to money and legal issues, the only member of original cast to lend voice was Reginald Vel Johnson.
Box art was inspired by McClane smashing through window.
Here's some goofs in regards to Alien.
 |
| Space Jockey area is huge compared to film. |
 |
| Considering the Anesidora crew apparently visit the same place that Kane did, open egg that facehugger emerged from should remain, but is nowhere to be seen. |
 |
| Whereas in film during Kane's fateful discovery, mist hovers above. |
Crew Expendable
Parker is clean shaven and headband is a darker shade of blue
Last Survivor
 |
| Ripley is singing 'Lucky Star' on the Nostromo. But she only does this once aboard the Narcissus. |
 |
| 'Alien' in C64's title screen looks okay, but glowing 'I' was only used in Aliens. |
 |
| As Ripley leaves Fury 161 in Mega Drive, Amiga etc, she turns back one last time "IT IS DONE .. " |
Game Boy
Objective in overhead adventure is for Ripley to escape in the EEV.
And considering weapons and items have their own (and limited) inventory slots, that's pretty fucking important.
 |
| Layout is stupid and in the wrong order, Newt isn't 'dead' and where's Bishop? |

Alien 3: The Gun
Two anonymous marines blast their way through Sega's fast-paced arcade rail shooter.
 |
| Title screen expertly captures poster, but film was released in 1992, not 1993. |
 |
| Iron Tortoise |
A giant BASTARD tank?
 |
| After finishing the 'boss of the aliens', An Unidentified Man is pissed at player for not having the alien samples necessary to develop a bio-weapon. |
 |
| Bishop II |
SNES
 |
| Once again, 1993 is WRONG. |
 |
| Attract sequence is nothing like poster and based on Alien. |
 |
| It's very similar to how official trailer ended. |
Who knows?
Intro
 |
| Shot of Ripley in hypersleep was never used. |
 |
| Closing scene of Alien. |
Now shit gets lazy.
 |
| Facehugger lands on cryotube and presumably breaks snooze capsule. |
 |
| Not even a blemish. |
(Chuckles).
 |
| Film made the effort. |
 |
| Fiorina 'Fury' 161. Outer Veil Mineral One Refinery Double Y Chromosome Work Correctional Facility Maximum Security |
 |
| Fiorina "Fury" 161 Outer-Veil Mineral Ore Refinery Double Y Chromosome-Work Correctional Facility Maximum Security |
Environments are right on the money, but not this one.
 |
| Secreted resin only featured in Aliens. |
 |
| Pistons push random Queen to her death. |
 |
| The Queen Alien is finished. There's only one alien left and it's growing inside me. I'll never let the Company get their hands on it... N E V E R |

 |
| Film was released in 1985, not 1988. |
 |
| Peter Mueller's iconic poster is cropped for box art. I demand you note full moon. |
 |
| Here comes the sun, little darling. |

| Who the hell is this guy? |
And since when did vampires sleep upright?
Hey Jerry, do you think trend will catch on?
 |
| NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Jesus. Some folk just can't a joke.
Die Hard
Aside from 'title placement', C64 and NES covers are identical.
What's missing?
 |
| Yeah, Bruce Willis's ugly mug. |
 |
| PC Engine took a different approach. |
If all goes well.
 |
| Good ending |
But if Holly is shot.
 |
| Bad ending |
Also, what's with the scratches? Did he get attacked by a wild animal?
NES
 |
| What I like to call the 'double KO ending', Holly states the obvious. "JOHN!!!" You got Hans, but he got you too. YOU LOSE. GAME OVER. |
But spoilt slightly.
 |
| I knew you could do it, Pardner! YOU WIN! GAME OVER. |
Must've missed that part.
Tony (left) and Karl (right)
Very good. But I'm not sure that brother used extendable baton thing.
Port features a host of excellent intermission screens.
For example:
 |
| Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs... |
Time for a real head scratcher.
 |
| End boss is FBI helicopter. |
Cos of what happens next.

 |
| Nakatomi's architect E.C. Chen becomes real. |
 |
| He bites the dust when elevator cables give way. |
Characters
First off, we never see McClane.
Takagi
Tony
Glasses?
Holly and Ellis
Coke-snorting businessman looks like a 70s porn star.
Karl
Gotta love cute ponytail.
Hans
Okay I suppose.
Theo
Hacker wasn't bald.
Worst of all.
Special Agent Johnson (left), Deputy Chief Dwayne T. Robertson (middle) and Agent Johnson (right)
What's the problem here do you think?
HILARIOUS!!!
Miscellany
Most kick ass, with a few curious exceptions.
Theo waiting for vault's code
Powell's crash
Spiffing.
But our man walks out unharmed, when head should be bloody.
As Powell is black, WHY didn't they extend the same courtesy to Agent Johnson?
We'll never know, but it can't be race related.
Now I have a machine gun. Ho-Ho-Ho.
Tony's corpse without Christmas hat stands out like a sore thumb.
Karl's reaction to brother's death
Plant is thrown rather than table.
Whatever.
Rather predictably, scrap between McClane and Karl isn't played out.
As for how Hans is killed.
Err.
To an extent, famous fall is impressive.
Karl's last stand
But check out Powell's firearm.
He actually used:
Come on, they don't even look alike.
Until next time.
First off, we never see McClane.

| Beretta 92 |

| Smith & Wesson Model 15 |
Until next time.
