Didn't they refer to characters in the Aliens films as Space Marines? The movies predate the game genre I believe.

Obviously the 1930s has both trumped.

In Aliens, they were officially called "Colonial Marines"

Thanks for the clarification. I haven't seen the trilogy in a while and couldn't recall for sure. I did a quick search online and saw references that said "space marine" and also "colonial marine" so I figured it might have referenced in the movie.
