Here are some (crappy) pics of the game we played on Friday.
In a very dark room, to take advantage of Silent Invader's cunningly lit game board...
Unfortunately, very atmospheric game makes for very poor photos, since the shutter has to stay open for about 10 seconds each shot - making some shake unavoidable, even using a timer...
Still, it gives you a flavour
The claustrophobic dark.
The flickering lights.
The nagging score of Alien playing on a loop for hours...
Malamute making his own sound effects...
Oh the horror. The terror...
Rebel colonists inside the facility...
Aliens v marines in the inhospitable exterior...
There's something nasty in the room with them...
The marines enter the facility...
And secure the doorway...
Unfortunately, they're watching the wrong doorway...
'Spread out'
Hostages secured... (Actually, they are escorting the rebels out... Fools!)
But it's too late. Aliens are swarming...
Next game...
The marines land in the eerie red glow of the landing pad...
Kick-ass action from the colonists takes down the first wave of aliens...
Meanwhile the marines are somewhat distracted by rampaging terminators...
The colonists make ready to escape - stepping carefully round the pools of acid goo left by splatted Aliens...
More heroics from the colonists... WHERE ARE THE GODDAM MARINES FOR CRISSAKES!!!
Getting annihilated by the terminator hordes round by the back door, that's where...
17 Aliens died in this game... Here you can see some of their pools of luminous acid...
Endgame. The reactor has been neutralised. The scientists and colonists have escaped. The Aliens are swarming the facility, and in one dark corner, the last surviving marine meets his nemesis... Or does he?
