About

Fox Video Games made the first leap into licensing the Alien property for video games with what was essentially a Pac-Man clone skinned with elements from the 1979 film. Players controlled a human collecting Alien eggs (dots) and small planet and spaceship symbols (fruits) in a maze abroad the USCSS Nostromo while avoiding Alien drones (ghosts). Drones could be killed by shooting them with a flamethrower or collecting symbols that would stun them (flashing dots).

Void Bastards

Like Alien, this is a sci-fi action game where you manage limited resources and fight for survival in a hostile environment, but with a strategic layer and a unique art style.

Hades II

While a different genre, Hades II shares Alien's sci-fi themes and challenging gameplay. It's a fast-paced action game where you master combat and explore a world of gods and monsters.
