Just to point out, the reason the game bore little or no resemblance to the
film, was that it was licensed very early in the production and brandywine
were very sparse on detail for the programmers, other than vague indications
that the film was based in a prison, Ripley was the main character, her head
was shaved, etc.
The programmers did the best they could with the limited info.
Shame really, could have been so much better. :(
