Out of all Alien games, this one stuck with me the most. Atmosphere is just insane... and it never lets up. The final level especially where you're chased by the Newborn aboard the Betty was some of the creepiest shit in a video game I've experienced, haha!

What I liked about AT as well as it was technically an original game, it took elements from the movies and redone them. For example, you have to battle three queens and you visit a lot of locations and you have to deal with W-Y PMCs. It didn't have any baggage either from what I remember, it was just a fun game.

In fairnesss, I only rarely cheated on that, only after I completed the game and wanted to just have fun by choosing the levels and fighting the queen.
Same. Prison levels were real spooky for me as a wee lad but I always enjoyed replaying them for some reason. I was super excited/scared to see the runner aliens for the first time. Then the fast grown-ups showed up...

In AT, it will just attach for a few seconds and then dies, but while it is attached there is nada you can do to get it off.
Luckily I always had my pink acid boots on

I'm running mine off a HDMI converter and that's fine.
Really need to get one of them. The telly in the lounge only has Component which doubles as RCA, so I have to constantly keep changing leads for the PS2 or the DVD player or the N64.

Atari Jaguar AvP, Alien Trilogy and a lot of others just make you wiggle the thing off (or AT has it get on your face when your health is sufficiently low, been a while).
In AT, it will just attach for a few seconds and then dies, but while it is attached there is nada you can do to get it off. It just drains your health while it is on but if it attaches to you and you got low health, it can "kill",you. a movie clip will play showing Ripley falling unconscious from the hugger. Strangely this clip will play even if a chestburster kills you.
