Space Gun is a 1990 Rail Shooter arcade game by Taito, inspired by the 1986 film Aliens (the game was originally going to be a Dummied Out tie-in to the film). While it is rather standard fare, it features a (pre-Time Crisis) foot pedal that allows the player to back away, (supposedly) keeping the enemies from overwhelming them. It also has shooting limbs of aliens as one of the core gameplay mechanic, 18 years before Dead Space popularized the gameplay mechanic.The game is set in a fictional future, in the year 2039, where humans have begun deep space exploration. A distress call is transmitted from a crippled ship near an alien planet. The game's protagonist, a special soldier, responds to the call. Upon boarding the ship, the soldier discovers it has been overrun by hostile aliens. The aliens have captured the human crew for an unknown purpose. The story has sections that take place aboard the spacecraft and on the planet's surface. The protagonist's overall goal is to rescue as many human hostages as possible, eliminate the alien threat, and escape the spacecraft. | |

It's a Wonderful Failure | |
| Space Gun (Video Game) / int_45e41b66 | comment |
It's a Wonderful Failure: In the Final Boss battle, if you end up destroying the cockpit of your shuttle, you'll get a cutscene of the base exploding with ominous music playing along with the message, "Oh no! Something went wrong! The space shuttle was destroyed! Should we give ourselves up?" | |

Body Horror: The "unknown purpose" the aliens capture the colonists for is reproduction, which they do by converting a person into another alien somehow. | |

Non-Standard Game Over | |
| Space Gun (Video Game) / int_8e0430ab | comment |
Non Standard Game Over: If you fail to save enough hostages in some missions, you'll get a cutscene showing the two soldiers lamenting a dead hostage saying that the entire mission was a failure, causing the entire operation to be aborted. Exaggerated in that your game will be over with no possibility to use continuous plays for restarting any missions you failed in this fashion! | |

Concussion Frags: Averted. Concussion grenades are different from frag grenades (called "blade grenades," which explode into a flurry of razor blades instead of boring old shrapnel). | |

Have a Nice Death: If you die and choose to quit (or die when continuous plays are completely forbidden through the machine's DIP switch settings), you'll be presented with an alien holding your lifeless body (and your partner's remains left behind). | |

Xenomorph Xerox | |
| Space Gun (Video Game) / int_ef23acb9 | comment |
Xenomorph Xerox: It only appears on an advertising flyer for the game. The aliens are green with exposed purple musculature in their thighs, two-toed feet, three purple, glassy eyes, four arms, insectoid mouthparts, and a long tail. They still have a Captain Ersatz of the Face Hugger though. Didn't stop some reviewers from saying they look "like the aliens out of Aliens." | |
