Aliens, what was the primary danger Ellen Ripley faced?

Aliens, produced by Squaresoft, the answer is C!

Russian plans to create "patriotic video games in hopes to replace the popular DOOM".
Along the way they found time to play the single most unsafe for anywhere anyone might conceivably see what you were doing game -
