I was at a computer convention with my dad as a kid and they were demoing this game. I was hooked, went home with the game in hand. RIP Dad.

As Mike says, this is Aliens The Computer Game: US version released by Activision (1986). Its a decent game but the better version of Aliens: The Computer Game, on the C64/Spectrum, is by UK software house Electric Dreams (1987). The Electric Dreams version is much more suspenseful. This is also available on this great site.

Actually had this as “Aliens: US Version” In the Sinclair Spectrum. It was OK. But not as tense as the UK version.

This game was ambitious for it's time but didn't quite work playability wise. Although it did a good job of maintaining a sense of tenseness to keep you on your toes, if I remember correct. Or perhaps it was the otehr Alien game haha. I forget now.
