I brought my copy of Alien Space to the 1998 ECC Convention, just for
kicks.
The young guys didn't have any idea what it was. :-)

The ships were a bit unbalanced.  Let's face it.  The Gapper Zapper?  If
both beams hit an enemy ship, the target was completely vaporized. 
Range
on the Gapper Zapper was 36". 

There were some interesting weapons in the game, such as the Stalker pod
and javelin torpedo.  Lots of fond memories on the living room floor.
