comment
Video Game Flamethrowers Suck: Mostly averted, the flamethrower power-up which can be obtained early in the game does impressively well against alien drones and synthetics.

Kill Tally: Even in single-player mode, the player will have a HUD display tallying the number of drones, facehuggers, synthetics and hostiles they have killed, for the player(s) to compare their scores after each boss battle.

Flunky Boss: The first boss, the Central Control Tower, and third boss, the Alien Dragon, will surround themselves with hordes of flunkies during battle. Mechanized turrets for the former, flying drones and facehuggers for the latter.

 Aliens Extermination (Video Game) / int_5ade9ace
comment
Gang Up on the Human: In the incubation chamber, players will fight Weyland-Yutani synthetics, and also alien drones released from their cells — who, upon getting out, will ignore the synthetics and attack the humans instead, despite having no reason to do so. In any case, the aliens should be attacking the synthetics responsible for imprisoning them in the first place, and yet they chose to attack the human players.

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Most of the time the player will be forced to take damage regardless how skilled they are, as the computer will either generate enemies too numerous to avoid attacks, or have their attacks hitting the player before they can show up onscreen.

Attack Its Weak Point
 Aliens Extermination (Video Game) / int_82108e3d
comment
Attack Its Weak Point: Most of the bosses, fittingly enough, have a major weak spot for players to focus their attacks upon. The Xeno-based bosses have theirs on the head, the Tower's most vulnerable area is it's central core, while the Power Loader boss can be taken down easier by aiming for its Synthetic pilot. (Protip: Aim for the dick.)

Awesome Personnel Carrier: The APC from Aliens makes a comeback, and transports the players through alien territory in two levels. Namely, through an alien-infested tunnel where they must shoot every alien in sight while defending the carrier, and when escaping from the Not Quite Dead Alien Queen.

Kill It with Fire: Besides having the trusty flamethrower as an early obtainable weapon, the player can also pick up Napalm grenades to combat alien drones and synthetics. It's very effective.

comment
Continuity Nod: While the franchise's previous arcade shooter, Alien 3: The Gun, is based on the third movie, this one on the other hand is closer connected to Aliens. The Catchphrase "Stay Frosty!", for instance is lifted from the movie, uttered by supporting Marines if they player performs well. It seems like this is a phrase used by Colonial Marines to develop camaraderie. The ruins of Hadley's Hope is revisited as well, with unfortunate Weyland-Yutani staff being cocooned in the same manner as the film's unfortunate colonialists. The APC chase from the movie is recreated in the game, in a similar-looking tunnel.

Mini-Mecha: The Power Loader from Aliens makes a comeback as the second boss, piloted by an armoured synthetic. It comes with the same armament as seen in the movie, including welding torches and Power Pincers, which is used to attack the players, but it's also built with a circular saw that can deal major damage (a trait not shown in the movie).

comment
Outside-Context Problem: The game's premise is that the player(s) assumes the role of a Colonial Marine to investigate an alien infestation, and for most of the first level they're pretty much up against facehuggers and drones — until the first boss turns out to be the colony's security system, which suddenly went online and sics various turrets and mechanized enemies on the players. It was then they realize their objectives has been compromised by their higher-ups and they're not expected to survive the mission.

Mercy Kill: The ruins of Hadley's Hope contains a chamber full of unfortunate Weyland-Yutani workers, All Webbed Up by alien drones with chestbursters growing inside them. Players can gun down these workers to end their suffering (or choose to just watch them suffer for shits and giggles) — it makes no difference either way, since they alien chestbursters will still burst out from the impregnated workers and attack the players.

Low Clearance: During the battle atop a moving APC travelling through an alien-infested tunnel, players risk getting hit by low-hanging girders on the tunnel's ceiling if they fail to shoot through the girders on time. Occasionally, alien drones would end up getting too close and be smashed into pulps by the girders instead.

Canon Immigrant: The flying Alien Dragon, although unexpected, was actually featured in another earlier piece of Alien media, namely in the comic book Aliens: Survival. But then again, her appearance is definitely a surprise to casual players, who would no doubt react to her appearance with a, "Holy shit, they fly now?"
