The cards are arranged into five main subsets: * 38 "Datalog" cards, which essentially form a narrative of the film from Ripley's perspective. * 3 "Outtake" cards, which detail scenes deleted from the theatrical cut of the film. * 16 "Behind the Scenes" cards, which feature behind the scenes images and information from the production. * 12 "Weyland-Yutani File" cards, which contain details on the characters in the film. * 9 Dark Horse Comics cards, which present newly-commissioned Alien artwork and also form a short comic titled Alien3: Alone.
