Alien Arena

Alien Arena is a capture-the-flag style game with several twists; Each player can collect items to set up mines, traps, sentries, and monsters. The game was intended to be sold as a conversion kit for Williams hardware (Stargate in particular), though it never made it out of a single test location. More information on the game (and the game's ROMs, which have been released to the public domain by the programmer) is available here.
