Aliens A Comic Book Adventure (Cover)

Aliens: A Comic Book Adventure is a 1995 adventure game developed by Cryo Interactive Entertainment and published by Mindscape for MS-DOS. It is loosely based on the Aliens comic book series with many references to the graphic novel Labyrinth.

Plot[]

Players take on the role of Lt. Col. Henry Hericksen, an ex-Colonial Marine aboard the USS Sheridan who is now the commander of a three-man terraforming team tasked with investigating a distress call originating from a remote outpost known as B54C. Players must search through a mining complex for clues.

The main protagonist, Lt. Col. Henricksen, is a nod to famed sci-fi actor Lance Henriksen, who played the android Bishop (341-B) in Aliens and Alien³, and Charles Bishop Weyland in Alien vs. Predator. Towards the end of the game, players encounter a "Space Jockey” like huge dead creature found in the spaceship in the first Alien movie.
