absolutely brilliant
i played this game a while back and this is the first time i have been able to review or rate it. i would agree with rho21 and say the brightness does need to be increased a little. other than that this game is awesome.
Reviews for "ALIENS the Board Game"
Great recreation of the game!
Love it, was my favorite board game growing up and my favorite franchise.
One bug you have, the 'flame ground' doesn't pay attention to empty ammo.

Doh! Good find.
Awesome Game!
Hi, I am gonna try to learn flash so I can make boardgames like this. Is there a place you went or book or anything I can look at to learn to do something turn based like this? Or is it a secret? I know you guys make money off this so...
Thanks anyhow for a great game.
Perfect update to an aging board game
This was one of those games that I never got, but always coveted and it's an absolute blast to play in flash form. Would love to see an update that makes the flame ground more useful. I wish you would reconsider the "no save" feature as I'd really like to try out Operations with more Marines, w/o having to replay the Reactor mission over each time. Your sounds, graphics, and rules translation are top notch! Overall, this is one of favorite games and it inspired me to track down the original board game...now to find those miniatures!
One of my favorites
This game... I'm at a loss for words. i watched Aliens the other day and was desperate for some kind of Aliens TBS, for free, online. I stumbled upon this and promptly lost the rest of my day to it (in a good way.) There are no praises I can give that haven't been given already. I found the difficulty to be incredibly frustrating, but at the same time it was also what made the game so enjoyable and satisfying. I don't know if you've hung up the animating tools for good, but if you haven't I'd love to see another game like this, or an expansion to this one. If you have moved on with your life, be proud of yourself, this was quite an achievement.
On a side note, does anybody know where I can find more games like this? They don't have to be Alien(s) related.
