      @backstander I have to think that the emulator is looking for specific files, so maybe resampling, but I'm not sure a different file type would work.

          You can get both health items in the second side scrolling stage, but they don't show up consistently (maybe triggered by your level of health?)

            So you think I made an overlay for Aliens ?
            Wrong.

            I made 2 !

            Check'em out here.

              My score: 69200.
              Thanks @GtBFilms for the Flame thrower tip! :-)

              The first time I played I didn't realize that you can "choose" which weapon to pickup.

              About Vimana: I didn't know it but I found it a nice shooter. I voted for it, but I'm enjoying Aliens too.

                There's a 1-Up after the big alien midway through the third side-scrolling stage.

                  @obsidianspider Do you know what is the advantage of wearing that metal thing? I thought I won't take damage but I took... Got 96k but I'll try again not wearing that thing. I prefer my flame thrower...

                    @meleu The mech suit thing? I'm not sure if you can play without getting in it, I've not been able to get that far again in my subsequent play throughs, but I'll be sure to try again tomorrow. I think it was part of the movie, but I've not seen it.

                      There's no better time than the present. As far as Sci-Fi/Action movies go, it's second only to 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day'.

                                  @lilbud Did you beat the game with only one credit?! It's pretty impressive. But if you use continues, I think the score restarts after a continue.

                                    @meleu One credit? HAHAHAHAHA

                                    it probably took 20 credits to beat.

                                        I wonder if anyone made a utility to count up how much money you would have spent if you'd been inserting coins for every time you pressed Select in MAME. This game alone would have been quite an investment at the arcade.

                                          When I was a kid, I never brought more than four or five dollars to the arcade. There were times that I wanted that money to go as far as possible and i would work my way from one game to another until I was broke. Then, there were other times that I wanted to use that money to complete a beatable game. Although I remember being shut out from time to time, I also recall beating a fair amount of games that way. I especially liked completing beat 'em ups Like 'X-Men' and 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles' because you could transfer the skills you learned from one game to another, significantly reducing the amount of money it took to succeed each time.

                                            @mediamogul the only games I ever completed in the arcades were Vigilante (they were testing it and had loaded it up with lots of free credits), Golden Axe (with a lot of credits) and Double Dragon (lot of credits, 2 player with the inspired fight against each other at the end) and Robocop, which is basically a test of memory, I could eventually complete that on a single credit, so if I wanted to make my money last, I'd play that.

                                            Just waiting patiently for for that one to come up in the MAME ROW!

                                            Oh yeah and Altered Beast, which is a just a credit gobbling slog to the end.
