I'm not sure if (m)any have played this ancient game, Alien, for the C64.
It was mostly a text-based game with graphical map that created the
suspense of waiting for the devastating attack that was sure to come.
The specific moment(s) of interest were key phrases indicating a nearby
alien.  One was "Jones the cat is dead." or something like that.  There
was another that I can't remember.  Those phrases had a rewardingly
strong impact.  The one time we managed to get the alien off the ship
was another "great moment".
