Alien

Alien is a game inspired by the movie with the same name but without a
license. The game takes place aboard the transport ship Nostrodamus and the
player’s objective is simply to destroy the alien. The game is viewed from a
top down perspective where the whole ship is visible. The player character and
the alien are represented by flashing squares although the alien is only
visible when within ten moves from the player. The player can also see various
letters that represent weapons although the player won’t know which weapon is
which before picking them up. To attack the alien the player has to pick up a
weapon and then use it in the direction of the alien. The player can only
carry one weapon at a time and won’t know what effect it has until he has
tried it out on the alien. Once the action has taken place the weapon is
automatically dropped and another weapon has to be picked up and used to
further damage the alien. The player has four crew members and when they have
all died the game is over.
