Space Hulk was a board game by Games Workshop. The game was set in their Warhammer 40,000 universe and obviously draws at least some inspiration from the movie Aliens.
Tabletop games
The game was set on a board made up of various corridor and room tiles which could be arranged in different orders and locked together like a jigsaw puzzle to represent the interior of derelict space ships. One player controlled Space Marine Terminators, and the other controlled Genestealers and genestealer hybrids. Two editions of the game were released.
In the basic versions of the game, playing the genestealers was often considered somewhat tedious since the strategy for playing them was simple and obvious. So simple in fact that Space Hulk made quite a playable solo game. Playing the marines on the other hand was engaging and tactically challenging. To overcome this shortfall, players were encouraged to play each game twice, swapping roles after the first play. The fairly fast play time made this a reasonable solution. The expansion packs in the first edition further solved the problem by introducing the hybrids, which added more depth to the genestealer game.
