I'm sure Joseph Conrad references in the Alien series have been discussed before, but not, it seems, at all recently. Rather than reopening some ancient thread, I figured I'd just start a new one.
I'm sure there must be some I'm not aware of. These are the ones I know, off the top of my head:
The films:
*Alien - USCSS Nostromo - from the book Nostromo
*Alien - Narcissus - from The N*gger of the 'Narcissus' aka The Children of the Sea
*Aliens - USS Sulaco - from Nostromo
*Alien 3 - Patna - from Lord Jim (only named in the film's novelization)
The games:
*Aliens versus Predator 2 - USS Verloc - from The Secret Agent
*Aliens vs. Predator - USS Marlow - from Lord Jim, Chance, Heart of Darkness and Youth
*Aliens vs. Predator - USS Fidanza - from Nostromo (mentioned in Major Van Zandt's backstory)
*Aliens: Colonial Marines - USS Sephora - from The Secret Sharer
Anyone know of any others?
