Oh that's fantastic! I hope you enjoyh it. If you ever looking to play, invite me :)

@Conky Yes, you are correct. The new grounds version is a digital version of The Aliens Board Game from 1989. They're one in the same, they just have different looks.

You're welcome. I'm glad you and your nephew enjoyed it! :)... You just made my day :) If you ever notice anything that may need fixing or an update, just let me know. I really wanted to get 3D models of the marines and aliens, but I have no idea how to make those lol.

TTS is a great simulator. You're going to like it a lot if you're a board/card gamer.

I got TTS just to get this and its expansion. I just played a round in the reactor with my nephew, great fun. I haven't played this in years. Thank you so much for making this available. :-)

@GAMINATORDAN, Your very welcome. Thank you for liking it :)

If you haven't yet, make sure you get the expansion too.

Many thanks! Excellent!

Oh yes, it's great. It adds a lot of good stuff to the base game, The new map is the Alien's Layer to hunt out the Queen and save your Marines Mates. New weapon load outs and all that fun stuff.

cheers dude - still getting to grips with TTS but will give it a bash - dont think i ever played the expansion - is it any good
ZenMonkey  [author] 30 Oct, 2015 @ 3:41pm 
The expansion has it's own download space, so you can find it by searching
ZenMonkey  [author] 30 Oct, 2015 @ 3:40pm 
@mongo.england, I kick myself for missing this game in the 90s; I found it like about 4 or 5 years ago, I became obsessed and still play it to this day lol. I also play the flash game.

Side Note: I put the expansion up too :)
Mongo.England 30 Oct, 2015 @ 2:23pm 
Played this to death in the 90's still occassionaly paly the online flash game - great to see it on TTS

@Kaijudo Yeah, I purchased my copy and the lead figures at the local comic shop I went to all the time in California when I lived out there.
ZenMonkey  [author] 2 Sep, 2015 @ 6:00pm 
@Geobaldi What I really want to do is find someone who can make 3D models and import the figures into the game, that would be bad ass!
ZenMonkey  [author] 2 Sep, 2015 @ 5:59pm 
@Phaota, I'm very jealous!... I kick myself everyday for not being aware of the Aliens Board game back then. I could have had years of fun with it. I had a friend who was in to comics and we'd always go to the comic stores. I'm pretty sure they had copies of the game, I just never knew it (No internet in those days lol). They're pretty expensive on ebay too. Think they're like 99 or 100 dollars for just the game with out the figures. I've been trying to remake a psychical version of the game with some Canadian Marines from Space Hulk and some other figures I have, but they're to big to fit the print out map I made. I need to find a way to make the print bigger.
Geobaldi 31 Aug, 2015 @ 8:24pm 
@Phaota - I'd be happy to take that copy off your hands. Me, and my friends, would gladly play it a ton :)
Geobaldi 31 Aug, 2015 @ 8:22pm 
@Kaijudo - I have no problems really with the tokens myself. I've never been able to see a physical copy in person to compare them. Feel free to make them bigger though if you feel it would make it more faithful to the orignal. Hopefully that link will bring more awareness to the game, as not many people know about it. I really would like a reprint, but if FFG got a hold of it, they would pump out expansions nonstop :)
Phaota 31 Aug, 2015 @ 5:02pm 
@Kaijudo Now, I know you might be slightly jealous on this front (not sure what they are going for on eBay), but after the original game was released and the expansion pack in 1990, Leading Edges Games also put out two lead miniature sets in 1992, which I definitely had to have. They were just too cool not to miss. The first is the "ALIENS - Alien Queen Lead Miniature Boxed Set", which contains an unpainted 25mm figure of the Queen, 2 eggs (one opened & the other closed) and 2 facehuggers on their own flooring. The other is "ALIENS - Alien Warrior Lead Miniature Boxed Set #2", which contains six unpainted 25mm Alien Warriors in various attacking positions, from stalking to climbing up a wall. The sets are contained within black plastic PVC holding cases with foam insulation. Both of these sets were put out to use with the role-playing game and the expansion.
Phaota 31 Aug, 2015 @ 5:01pm 
@Kaijudo Yeah, I bought a copy when it first came out for my Aliens-Predator-AvP-Terminator collection archive. I also have the one Expansion Pack Kit that was released. Here's the description of it from my archive list.

"More Alien-filled adventures for the Marines to face in this expansion of the ALIENS role-playing game. Features more scenarios (which include the battle aboard the Drop Ship, Ripley's Rescue of Newt, the Marines' Assault on the Lairs, an expanded version of the movie scenario and the desperate Hunt for the Queen), new rules (which cover Backup Weapons, Ammunition Restrictions, Fires Tournament Rules, the face huggers and the deadly Alien Queen herself) and a new full color map which shows the heart of the Aliens' lairs. Includes: 33"x 17" Full Color Map, 16 Full Color Alien Lair Cards and a 24 pg. Rulebook with B&W pictures from the movie."

@Geobaldi I don't mind at all :) Post links any where you like lol. I think a lot of board gamers should be aware of this game. It's a lost classic imo. How do the play tokens look to you?... I always wanted a way to make them slighty taller, like they are in the psychical version of the game.
ZenMonkey  [author] 31 Aug, 2015 @ 5:18am 
@Phaota Wow you have the original and haven't played it yet?!.... It's a great game. Why it never went into reprint or picked up by like Fantasy Flight Games is beyond me. This game should have never gone out of print. But then again, maybe its a good thing, because Heaven knows, if it was still in print, we might have a bunch of expansions lol.
Geobaldi 31 Aug, 2015 @ 12:02am 
I hope you don't mind, but I've linked this workshop item in a Boardgame Geek post for TTS solo games: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/195882/item/4107890#item4107890 . Should bring in some more traffic for this.
Phaota 29 Aug, 2015 @ 11:25pm 
Interesting addition. I have the original game in my ALIENS collection. :) Never played it though.
ZenMonkey  [author] 10 Jul, 2015 @ 10:55am 
Thanks DeliveryNinja. Those screens are out of date, i need to update, the folds in the mape are smoothed out now :) and yes the Aliens game is a lot of fun.
DeliveryNinja 9 Jul, 2015 @ 3:51pm 
Looks fantastic, thanks. Love the Aliens film so I'm sure this will be a blast
ZenMonkey  [author] 20 Feb, 2015 @ 10:35pm 
Thanks for wanting to help out. If you find anything it would be well appreciated. It would be cool to have figures in the game. One f the things I like to do is; use the space soldiers from "Pocket Tactics Freespace Privateers" It takes a little imaginations when it comes to flame thrower gun (none of them are holding a flame thrower)
Sum Ho 20 Feb, 2015 @ 8:02pm 
I'm sorry I don't know how to do it; but i'll look into it when i get the time. It's not a big deal anyways, it was more of a question, because it's great how it is. I was just looking around on the link for screenshots that you gave us, and noticed figurines.:balloon:
ZenMonkey  [author] 20 Feb, 2015 @ 7:56pm 
Thank you so much for you kind words, it means a lot! I so wanted to add figures to the game, but I have no idea how to 3D model. I found a site that had a a free 3D model of a Xenophon and Queen, but the texture (or mesh) wasn't done in the format that TTS uses, plus I couldn't find any colonial marines. If you make models or know someone that makes models, I'd add them right away lol.
Sum Ho 20 Feb, 2015 @ 7:39pm 
First off, I love this mod. It brings a whole new side of boardgames that is far from the startegy games like stratego and axis and allies. Also, your porting is very well done and me gusta. Anyways, I was just wondering if there you were planning on making figurines for this game?
ZenMonkey  [author] 1 Feb, 2015 @ 6:47pm 
Lol

np my friend :)
Killerbill 20 Jan, 2015 @ 8:12pm 
Ohhhh thank you! =D
ZenMonkey  [author] 20 Jan, 2015 @ 8:11pm 
The exspanion is in the workshop. It's not going to upload with the Alien's game. Just search "ALIEN'S EXSPANION (1990)" :)
Killerbill 20 Jan, 2015 @ 7:46pm 
Hey I'm not sure if my game is updated or not but I'm not seeing the expansion unless there is a png to use?
ZenMonkey  [author] 20 Jan, 2015 @ 7:21pm 
Great!... You're welcome :)

Thanks for letting me know its all working again.

If I have anything missing, let me know.
TRIBALien 20 Jan, 2015 @ 7:17pm 
It's working perfectly again. Thank you. ...And thanks for the expansion, too.
ZenMonkey  [author] 20 Jan, 2015 @ 7:13pm 
No it wasn;t. I made a mistake uploading this and the expansion. It should be all fixed now. Can you please comment back to let me know that everything is working again.
TRIBALien 20 Jan, 2015 @ 7:07pm 
After loading the updated version of this, I just get a blank table. That wasn't deliberate was it?
ZenMonkey  [author] 20 Jan, 2015 @ 6:28pm 
I added the exspanion :)
ZenMonkey  [author] 20 Jan, 2015 @ 4:59am 
You're welcome :)

Yes I'm adding the expansion for sure! I was working on it yesterday. I should have it uploaded later today :)
Killerbill 20 Jan, 2015 @ 2:38am 
Hey do you plan on adding the expansion map as some of the senarios for this game need it and I'd really appreciate it =D Thanks for the the upload either way!:pleased:
