''Aliens Pinball'' is a [[DigitalPinballTable virtual]] PinballSpinoff and adaptation of the [[Film/AlienS film of the same name]], developed and published by Creator/ZenStudios. This pinball table is one of the three tables in the ''Aliens vs. Pinball'' collection, a premium add-on for [[Creator/ZenStudios Zen Studios]]' [[VideoGame/PinballFX ''Zen Pinball 2'', ''Pinball FX 2'' and ''Pinball FX 3'']], and is also playable on the ''Aliens vs. Pinball'' mobile app.
!!''Aliens Pinball'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AntiFrustrationFeature:
** Kickbacks are easy to activate - just light all four rollovers and spell NEWT. (Just be aware that you'll lose them if you drain the ball.)
** The WizardMode is unlocked after you ''attempt'' all story missions. The key word here is "attempt" - meaning that if you fail a mission, you can move on to the next one, provided that you hit the mission start target 3 times.[[note]]You will, however, need to successfully clear missions if you want a shot at the high score list - as clearing missions gives you more points.[[/note]]
** You are always given a 30-second ball saver at the start of each ball (like all Zen pinball tables) - and you can turn it on again every time you spell BISHOP with the target posts.
* BloodlessCarnage / {{Bowdlerize}}: The ''Aliens'' film is rife with blood, gore and profanity, earning it an R rating, yet none of that carries over to the pinball version due to Zen's censorship and family friendly policies, allowing it to get an EveryoneTenAndUpRating.
* FadeToWhite: [[spoiler:Beating the WizardMode eventually leads to this, which happens at the conclusion of a one-minute victory multiball.]]
* TheHorde / ZergRush: Some of the main missions involve fighting off a huge swarm of aliens, represented as drop targets that move towards the flippers...[[ItMakesSenseInContext just like how the proximity sensor tracks Aliens converging onto a single point in the film]].
* {{Minigame}}: There's one where you drive the APC down a three-lane road. It's a mandatory interlude (and finale) during the first mission, and you can also activate and play an endless version if you hit the bumpers enough times and then lock the ball into a nearby sinkhole.
* MythologyGag: During a Xenomorph attack, the scoring display will actually show the display readout of the UA 571-C Sentry Gun, including the ammo count, time remaining until all ammunition is spent, firing speed and temperature meter - just one detail that shows how faithful the table is to the movie.
* PressXToNotDie: The fourth mission "UD‐4L Cheyenne" gives you just 20 seconds to shoot the correct lane to help Bishop pilot the namesake spacecraft. Run out of time, and the mission fails.
* SentryGun: Like in the film, there's one at your service to help you deal with onslaughts of Aliens when they arrive en masse.
* SkillShot: You need to shoot the ball with just enough strength that it drops into the right inlane to run a bypass into Hadley's Hope. If you shoot it too weak, it will fall into the right outlane, but bounce back into play for fairness' sake. If you shoot it too strong, it will fall into a hole or bounce off the top of the right rebound.
* SpellingBonus: This table has a field day with this trope. Spell the names of major characters to achieve different effects (spelling VASQUEZ makes the sentry gun reload faster and spelling HICKS increases squad health, for example).

* FireBreathingWeapon: After the player attempts most missions, Amanda can pick up a flamethrower and use it to lay waste to enemy drop targets.

It's mandatory for the second half of the Special Order 939 mission, in which Amanda hacks the androids after disabling them. Otherwise, it can be accessed by spinning a flag at the left orbit enough times, then shooting the bumpers at the apex of the orbit within a 15-second time limit.

After a successful Skill Evade, the cabinet lock will open as the ball rolls to the left flipper, giving the player a very brief opportunity to nail a super skill shot called "skill heal" that will fully replenish Amanda's health.
