Astyanaliens?

Remember Astyanax, the fantasy side scrolling hack and slash for NES? Did you know there was an arcade version? I never once saw this game in an arcade, but apparently it was out there and…the last level suddenly reveals that it was actually aliens behind everything?

Definitely not ripping off H.R. Giger at all…
And that’s DEFINITELY not a xenomorph from Aliens…

Just always thought that was weird is all. Games sure did love ripping off Aliens back in the day…
