Aliens: The Computer Game is a side-scrolling first-person shooter released in 1987 and based on the second film in the Alien film series. A game developed by Activision is also called Aliens: The Computer Game. While the Activision game consists of six minigames based on the movie, the Software Studios game is based solely on action and is much simpler.

Aliens: The Computer Game was the first home computer game to use digitised images in cut scenes.[1]
