Alien vs Predator is a 1993 Super NES game developed by Jorudan[1] and published by IGS in Japan, and by Activision internationally. It is part of the Alien vs. Predator franchise. Despite the similar game play, it is not related in any way to the arcade game of the same name, which was released by Capcom 8 months later. The game is a typical beat 'em up, in which the Predator must kill all Aliens before advancing through the levels. Some of the Predator's abilities include the possibility to become invisible and charge lasers to destroy all enemies in a screen (at cost of some energy). The player controls a Predator, who receives a distress call and flies to a planet called Vega 4 to hunt the Alien species instead of humans as their original plans because the alien species is seemed to be a more challenging prey than humans.

Released originally in 1992 for the Amiga, Mega Drive/Genesis, Master System and Super NES, and later (1994) for DOS Personal Computers. It was also released for most portable platforms; the Atari Lynx was the first, in 1993, followed by the Game Gear (1994), Game Boy (1995) and finally Game Boy Advance in 2002, developed by Budcat Creations.[1] In November 2006, Electronic Arts also ported Desert Strike to the PlayStation Portable as part of EA Replay.
The story follows the player, an AH-64 Apache (although the title screen for most versions seems to show a Comanche used in the game's sequel instead as the rear rotor of the helicopter used in the game was actually Comanche's rear rotor) pilot in a conflict inspired by the Gulf War. A year after the Gulf War, General Ibn Kilbaba takes over a small Arab Emirate and plans to start World War III, and the player must open way for ground troops by disabling most of his defense and offense, and finally take on the "Madman" himself. |
