Old cga? color game with aliens

Hi

I'm looking for an old game.
The story is set at Mars or some space planet, where you encounter aliens and stuff.
It only used orange, green, black (and white?) colors.
I don't remeber too much as i was a little kid at the time. (six or seven years)
I played it around 1990 but the game is way older. It was played on an old computer, the kind which used two 5inch floppy disks, one for the OS and one for the game. The pc I got of my cousin, which i suppose had had it for maybe some 5 years or more.

I made a quick drawing of what i remember.
(It was other kinds of aliens as well)

Another game i had and played at the computer was "lode runner" from 1983, and "commando" from 1985, so it might be from those years.

Hope anyone can help me, it was very fun to play!

I also was searching for this game but the link posted here led to a file that didn't contain what I thought it should. Here is a link to what I believe is the correct game called "The Monuments of Mars" by Apogee software. It is a 4 part game and you have to load a seperate file for each of the parts. Have fun!
