Aliens Extermination

[Bishop2]

I thought this game was all over the place!  There's two full-size machines at my local Dave & Buster's in Kansas City.  I'm not crazy about the game itself - I think the ammo/reload system is poorly implemented - but it looks great as both a showpiece machine and in terms of its graphics.

That game was a good deal harder than I expected, which is rather important to note when you consider how much it costs to re-enter the game if you die. I've seen a few of them around my area, in arcades and the occasional multiplex theatre. It's pretty fun, at least what I saw of it.

I just located the game in Toronto at the North York Centre theatre on the top floor on friday while going to see 'War' movie. I'll have to go back and play it sometime.

My brother and I played this (http://globalvr.com/products_aliens_cabinet.html) arcade today at Gatti Town.. a pizza place.  We drew a little crowd while playing it.. Maybe people were just amused at 2 twenty-something year old dudes playing the game  

The game is REALLY hard.. I think they set difficulty too high.  It's a rail shooter game based on the Aliens movie.  Pretty awesome cabinet.. The version we played (not in the pic) had a 42" plasma, the game played in widescreen.  The guns have real digital readouts for the ammo counter and buttons for the flamer thrower and grenade launcher.


Pretty cool shit.    The company is Globar VR.. which is funny because the company I work for was working with a deal with them for a game we are developing.  I think they are the biggest arcade publisher in the U.S. now.  They made a great Aliens arcade machine here.. pretty good at capturing the Aliens atmosphere in the sound efx etc.

Lucky! That shit looks tight, I wish I could of been there!

- I was at a casino and they had an ALIEN game and you had to get to certain levels....like you had to get passed the facehuggers, avoid the alien, shoot the alien, the blow it out of the ship or somethin.....It was so cool haha

@PatrinAvP11: Was that an older Aliens game?

[pmaz11]

well it wasnt an aliens game it was an "Alien" game....I can't find any pictures for it but it looked sorta new I think.

Old news my friend. There's some threads already around here for it.

Hence the "ish" after new   Delete if you want, but didn't feel the need to resurrect an old thread.

I just played that game at one of my local theaters.  I think I lasted 2 minutes.  It was hard.

Reminds me of the old Alien 3 shooter with the replica pulse rifles...that was great fun at the arcade back in the day.

I saw this game in a Theatre arcade on Aug 24 but i never went back to play it.. I might this weekend... who knows. The game came out over a year ago but little under 2.
