An Tabletop Roleplaying Game... Think Dungeons and Dragons or Dark Heresy.

There is one official Aliens RPG, which IIRC is based on the Phoenix Command rules.

It shouldn't be hard to hack a game with your preferred generic system of choice, however (I would go with Basic Roleplaying - it even has stats for xenomorphs right in the big corebook!)

I'm actually thinking of writing a system for it myself, borrowing the best elements from systems I like and mixing it together.

Good luck with that.
And what systems do you like? And first of all what's on your mind - square-based like D&D or hex-based like Battletech system?

Actually, more free-flow than that. It will not be miniature based, but you could play it like that. I like Shadowrun, Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, Death Watch, World of Darkness, D&D 4th, WH Fantasy RP, Savage Worlds, Mutants and Masterminds etc... :-P
