Another transmission has been recovered during Lost Episode Week… but this one was almost lost in deep space.

Back in the early days of The Gateway Gamers Podcast, Producer Audra believed every episode needed a little “atmosphere,” which apparently meant dropping copyrighted movie music directly into the show. After this particular episode leaned a little too heavily on the iconic score from Alien, the lawyers likely detected the signal and the episode was quickly ejected out the nearest airlock. Audra has since been removed from soundboard duty permanently.

But much like the perfect organism… this episode survived.

Now recovered from the depths of the archives, Bryan and RP return to the corridors of the USCSS Nostromo to discuss Alien: Fate of the Nostromo from Ravensburger. This cooperative survival game drops players into the tense world of Ellen Ripley and the Nostromo crew as they scramble to complete objectives while avoiding the relentless Xenomorph stalking the ship.

The Gateway Gamers break down the cooperative gameplay, discuss the tension building mechanics, and debate whether this cinematic adaptation captures the suspense of the classic sci-fi horror film, or if it gets spaced along with the rest of the crew.
