Arts
In the era of the arcade cabinet, Konami was not merely content with the home console. Alongside their Contra, Castlevania and Metal Gear franchises, the company also earned licenses to pop culture phenomenons X-Men, The Simpsons and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, transforming those three into side-scrolling beat 'em ups. In 1990 though, four years after the release of the movie, Konami unleashed Aliens to video arcades around the world. More akin to a run and gun than a side-scrolling beat 'em up, it was one of the first ventures the Alien series made in the arcades.
