A L I E N COLLECTION PLAYLIST tinyurl.com/h8n...
This is my 1979 Kenner ALIEN Board Game. A game of Elimination and Escape. I show trivia of the Kenner ALIEN logo in which they took the shape from H.R. Giger's ALIEN Art Design Book Egg Silo. I show my 18" Kenner ALIEN in box with a Sporting Goods price tag on it. They used the Kenner ALIEN on the box top.
I have title screens to aid in viewing details of the Board, Printed Rules, Movement of ALIEN and Astronaut Tokens, Special Astronaut spaces, Deadly ALIEN Airshaft spaces & movement, ALIEN elimination of Astronauts, and a Link to my Full Gameplay video.
A fast-paced exciting space adventure game of Elimination and Escape based on the popular 1979 Twentieth Century Fox movie ALIEN. From the rules sheet & box: Aliens have invaded the spaceship Nostromo...they’re stalking the halls...they’re out to eliminate all the astronauts on board! Recreate the suspenseful terror of the new hit Space Thriller, ALIEN. Use luck and strategy to defend your astronauts from deadly ALIEN forces.
Object
Be the first player to get one of your three Astronaut tokens through the Spaceship Nostromo into the safety of the Space Shuttle Narcissus in the center of the board! Also, use our Alien token to eliminate the astronauts of other players!
Board Design
The game is played on an 18“x18” symmetrical board with four home bases and 85 spaces. All Astronauts start the game in one of four home bases of the same color matching their tokens: Blue, green, red, or yellow. There are special spaces printed on the game board at equal intervals including twelve Safe Spaces, four Astronaut’s Choice spaces, and eight ALIEN Airshaft spaces. The home bases show movie stills based on the Astronauts(as opposed to the ALIEN life-cycle). The game is centered around the primary Objective which is to be the first player to get one of your three Astronauts into the Space Shuttle Narcissus at the center of the board.
Rules of Movement
The game is based on dice and movement. Two six-sided dice are rolled on a player’s turn. The player moves one of his three astronauts the full amount on the white die clockwise around the perimeter of the board. The player then moves their ALIEN token the full amount on the red die. If doubles are rolled, the player rolls both dice again for a free roll. A player can move the same Astronaut or a different one on a free roll. Only two free rolls are allowed on a turn. If all three of a player’s Astronauts are eliminated from the game, the player continues to roll both dice in an attempt to roll doubles for free rolls for his ALIEN. Any token can move through another token’s space. More than one Astronaut and ALIEN can occupy the same space. The Astronauts enter an inner corridor upon completing one full circuit around the board where they attempt to avoid ALIEN tokens to be the first Astronaut to escape to the Space Shuttle Narcissus in the center of the board. There are four special Astronaut’s Choice spaces. If an Astronaut ends his turn on one of those spaces, the player can move his token through the shortcut corridor on his next turn which consists of five spaces compared to twelve spaces around the perimeter. ALIEN’s can always use the shortcuts. ALIENS can exit the inner corridor on the same space they entered. If an ALIEN ends its turn on an Airshaft space, it can jump to any combination of the other seven airshaft spaces then continue its movement clockwise.
Rules of Elimination
An Astronaut cannot be eliminated by his own ALIEN. Astronauts are eliminated if they end their movement on a space occupied by an opponent’s ALIEN, or if an opponent’s ALIEN ends its movement on a space occupied by an Astronaut. An Astronaut cannot be eliminated by an ALIEN while on a Safe Space. However, if an Astronaut is the last to leave a Safe Space occupied by an opponent’s ALIEN token, the astronaut is eliminated.

+Collections THX1138, thumbs up. Best of the 3 vintage game episodes of yours I've viewed so far, with the first 2 being extremely well done. Being an Alien movie fan, and your great use of sound bites and emulating graphics from the movie as title screens really made this review out shine your other fine reviews. Excellent job. You seem like a movie buff, especially the SciFi genre? Ever seen "Dark Star" (must have)? "Silent Running"? "Moon"? "Outland"? "Kin Dza Dza"? Your favorite movie genre?

Thanx! It was fun to do. And not too difficult. I'm glad you appreciate the effort. Thanx for the encouraging thumbs up ; Check out some of the gameplay vid where I make a couple mistakes so I inserted warning graphics & SFX "KENNER ALIEN BOARD GAME Full Gameplay | Collection THX1138" One such is at 17:25 tinyurl.com/ybvs8lee I have watched John Carpenter & Alien's Dan O'Bannon's Dark Star with the beach ball ; Silent Running I never got around to. I have Outland on DVD. The other two I hadn't heard of. I like different genres or movies that transcend a genre or it really doesn't matter what genre it's in. I haven't had time to watch too many lately. when DVD first came out I watch a lot. You might like to look at some of my "H.R. Giger's ALIEN FILM DESIGN ART BOOK w 18" Kenner Alien 20th Century Fox | Collection THX1138" vid tinyurl.com/y75taedh I have to admit I'm disappointed I don't get more views. but it a lot of old collectible stuff. I get enough good comments to make me do more. I think vids on youtube that are not well done or have inaccurate info and no closeups or really bad camerawork that isn't even camerawork lol are more of the one take conversational personality goes a long ways style of vids. Those get the views. Mine tend to be like sitting thru a power point presentation lol

Thanx very much for watching! It was fun to do. took a long time. I ended up doing a full gameplay vid with a creative way to handle 'continuity errors' I made while trying to make a production out of it instead of just holding a wide shot and focusing on what I was playing lol that will be up soon. the MUTHUR computer SFX were fun to put into place in the animated title cards. it does in fact capture the feel of trying to get the heck out of dodge lol those airshaft spaces and the fact the aliens can use the shortcuts makes it feel like the end of the movie. it was a good idea keeping it simple. there's something about the way those dice roll. I never get that many doubles in other games. this board game it happens all of the time. the game I played before I shot this one the aliens won. the last astronaut was in the inner corridor and got hunted down lol it's a game that's fun to lose. I also had fun interjecting fanboy inside jokes like "I can't lie to you about your chances but you have my sympathies" and "the kids admire it's purity, a game without conscience remorse or delusions of morality" lol

Thanx as always for watching! Makes it fun to share games. It does have a nice feel to it. Cyan-ish blue is a not so obvious choice for the branding that works somehow. I was finishing Star Wars Epic Duels and of course screwed it up and had to reshoot some of it lol If I didn't zoom in on every shot I'd have no problem following the action. The full gameplay of this Alien vid with fun "Continuity Errors" and more SFX will be up later on. That's one where I sort of screwed up early in the game but salvaged it creatively without having to reshoot it. it wasn't so much a mistake as it was an oversight. kind of a ridiculous amount of effort for hobby vids lol but fun to share.

Oh wow MG! that’s great to hear! the perfect Xmas present lol awesome you have such a cool mom. my mom and grandma’s always supported my star wars collecting. I’ve been meaning to upload a full vid of my Kenner Alien for quite some time. It’s been shot for a couple years. I just have to edit it together. he’s sitting right here above my desk. I had two of them at one time. But neither were my originals. I remembered seeing them in the stores on the top shelf along with this game on the bottom. I got one without the box mint off eBay in 1997. I got this one in the beat up box with poster insert from an old lady who was retiring from owning a comic place called the dragon’s lair in about 2006. I bought her last one because it had the box and insert. so I sold the other one to an appreciative buyer on eBay to make up some of the cost. She had 11 of them when she heard they were taking them of the shelves ‘casue ironically a mom complained it was too scary for kids (I bet that mom bought a bunch of them and sold them for a hefty profit lol). it turns out my friend who owned a used record store bought one from her back in the day. and I remember seeing it in college in his shop and that’s how I got to know him from talking about it. I bought the HR giger book from his shop. I have a full set of Topps Alien trading cards and several books and sci-fi magazines with great interviews of ridley scott not just fluff articles I should share one of these days.

lol my grandma was a buyer in a drug store so I got a a bunch of star wars topps cards and a box of extras. I started to show those in a force awakens trailer last year. I have to go back and see if I need to reshoot any of that or upload it as is. I can't recall if the reflections on the card sleeves was bad or not. I'm working on a star wars epic duels game vid.

Nice video. Similar gameplay to Destroy Deathstar except you have got an Alien instead of Darth Vader.

Thank you! I appreciate it. It was fun to do. It's comments. thumbs up, and appreciation like this that encourage me to share more. I like to show stuff I would like to see. That's what's nice about RU-vid. I watch videos. I share videos. is my motto. I was feeling like playing Carrier Strike. That's one in a vid I mentioned it reminded me of playing in the Summer on a picnic table. Perfect setting for a sea battle game. The only problem is my friend I grew up with lives 3 hrs away and is probably on his country club golf course right now making his own memories of something he likes to do and is good at. Sometimes when I do these vids or one's that aren't up yet I have flashbacks like that. I tend to overproduce things as a creative graphic designer outlet. I would have more of these up if I didn't'do that. But I liked doing this one. Including creatively correcting my mistakes (oversights really) ; It helps I know quite a bit about Alien. thanx for watching! Tell your friends they can relive memories here ;
@giri.goyo_yt
@giri.goyo_yt 7 лет назад
Yep. Old friends go away but memories stay. You have a knack for catching the essence. Very thorough. This is what I believe was the feeling I also got when channels started poppin on RU-vid at the outset. Good to see you got the old school mentality! Keep makin'!

Thank you!! I like to compose shots and do closeups since I've art directed commercial photography. It takes a lot longer to do but it can be worthwhile. I did a very fun one for a 70's Pirates of The Caribbean 3D game from the WDW ride gift shop with the cam moving up and down with canon fire and seagull SFX. I never finished it and can't find it(!) there's only one other place it might be. I was anxious to put that up because of the new movie. IT has little canon balls with a notch that if they line up with the gun hammer they shoot straight otherwise they fly all over the place. the idea is to knock down three pirates and a door on the side opens and drop gold pieces out of it ; IT's one you don'tsee. My Lord of the Rings game vid is another I've never seen done. That would be a bit difficult to replicate the iMovie effort.

Thank you! Most of my uploads in the future will be a combo of newer and retro. There's a Zombies Dice game I like a lot for example. And X-wing minis. Survive Cannibal variation and Mall Madness Zombies lol But also Marx Fort Apache. Marx Astronaut from the 70's NASA gift shop (ironically my old next door neighbor has worked there for over25 years) we have slides of a space shuttle prototype I should add to it. Those are shot but require voice overs I just didn't feel like doing last year but will this year. I have an amusement park channel and that's in season so I do this as I get to it. I also have a civil war canon ball game from the comic book ads by helen of toy that's actually a good game. And the revolutionary war soldiers.
