Reception
Upon the release, Julian Rignall of Computer & Video Games gave the arcade Aliens an overall score of 91%, noting its "simply brilliant" graphics and describing it as "one of the goriest coin-ops since Splatterhouse."[2] More than a decade and half later, Retro Gamer editor-in-chief Darran Jones also praised it as a "superb" game.[3] In a more reserved opinion, Stephen Kleckner of GamesBeat included the arcade Aliens in his list of "must-play" Alien franchise game, but wrote it "is competent and entertaining for a quarter sucker, but it lacks the creative push in gameplay found in other entries on this list."[4]
