Geiger's Alien Knockoffs
Alien was a turning point for special effects in film. The film inspired designers for decades, including many video game developers who thought no one would mind if they just ripped of H.R. Giger's Xenomorph wholesale.
List items
-
Deamon looks like some Chinese bootleg Xenomorph painted in bright colors to discourage small children from swallowing him.
-
-
-
Sure, who wouldn't want a Xenomorph as a pet?
-
Half these horny monsters would qualify, but two in particular are straight up easier-to-draw xenomorphs.
-
Wins the award for cutest Xenomorph knockoffs, easily.
-
The third boss is a tiny little dude who was so unmemorable that the only thing I can remember about him is his phallic head.
-
Ant Queen is only four letters away from Alien Queen, and this game's Ant Queen boss is closer than that to being a Xenomorph.
-
The whale boss has some similarities to the Xenomorph, but the fight against it also has two scenes that might as well be two shots directly from the final fight against the Alien Queen in Aliens.
-
Man, just look at that title screen. There's some biometal ships in the first level that also look like Geiger's Alien.
-
The end boss is only one phallic reference away from being the ultimate Geigerism.
-
OK, so the Terrapin only sort of looks like a Xenomorph. The facehuggers that it has attached to every single person in town, however, are dead-on Alien.
-
The final boss is the Xenomorph. Not even a facsimile, it just is.
-
Red Falcon.
-
Red Falcon's still in the final level, although it's less red and also a bit more wormy.
-
This game's bio-organic level has egg pods that are nakedly obvious facehugger eggs.
-
Krell is not fooling anybody.
-
Robo-Manus is a seriously freaky looking dude.
-
Please, no comments about getting worms from the under-cooked Pizza Monster.
-
The final level is populated either by Xenomorphs or clones of Cell.
-
-
After defeating the wizard the hero's reward is a final level filled with giant face huggers and the Xenomorph as the end boss.
