A look at Aliens for the MSX, a game based on one of the greatest films ever made that also happens to be one of RPG giant Square’s earliest titles, developed and published just before Final Fantasy saved the company from likely financial doom.

Gameplay was captured using the Elgato Game Capture HD from both an MSX2 and MSX Turbo R unit, upscaled via a Framemeister, and video/audio was edited using Sony Movie Studio Platinum Suite, Version 12. And I did indeed use the Blue MSX emulator to capture the ending, as mentioned in the video.
