The NES Aliens game that never was

Back before Final Fantasy became the iconic video game franchise it is today, Square took on development of a, very, different project. One that, sadly, never officially made it to its intended platform, the NES. But that has just changed…sort of.

A long lost copy of the Aliens movie tie-in game has been retrieved and now we’re able to see the unreleased game for ourselves. If you head on over to 1up you can check out a couple of videos showing off a complete speed-run of the game. As you can tell, that’s little 8-bit Ripley taking on xenomorphs in classic sidescrolling fashion. Am I the only one who wants to see 8-bit Samus and Ripley go at it?
