Alien Vs. Predator HD (Atari Jaguar) - Predator Longplay
2Alien Vs. Predator is one of those games I always thought looked cool in ads but was never able to play. Who had an Atari Jaguar? Not anybody I knew! You can pick between the three classes of Marine/Predator/Alien which all have wildly different scenarios. The marine is more like your typical fps where you find card keys to advance through each level and try to escape. Predator plays more like a horde mode, with him having to kill a certain amount of enemies to upgrade weapons enough to takedown the Queen Alien. The alien drone plays completely different with being able to cocoon marines and then respawn there after it dies. Which you will a lot, because the alien has no access to healing. It also can't use elevators, so traversing air ducts is how to get from floor to floor. It's an entertaining game, but like a lot of fps games from this time, it's hard to play if you didn't grow up with this style.
Alien vs. Predator for the Atari Jaguar is a first-person shooter released in 1994, developed by Rebellion Developments and published by Atari. It is one of the Jaguar's most iconic titles and is known for its atmospheric gameplay and multiple playable characters. Here's a detailed breakdown:
Gameplay:
*Alien vs. Predator* offers three different playable characters, each with unique abilities and objectives:
1. **Marine (Lance Lewis)**: Playing as a Colonial Marine involves using various firearms like pulse rifles, flamethrowers, and smart guns. The Marine's goal is to escape the infested space station, battling Aliens and avoiding the deadly Predators. This mode emphasizes survival, where ammunition management and exploration are key, along with finding ways to restore systems aboard the station.
2. **Alien (Drone)**: As the Alien, the gameplay revolves around using melee attacks to eliminate Marines and Predators. The Alien can climb walls and regenerate health by cocooning captured enemies. The main objective is to rescue the Alien Queen from captivity.
3. **Predator**: Playing as the Predator involves hunting both Marines and Aliens using advanced technology like cloaking devices and energy weapons. The Predator can also collect trophies from kills. Its goal is to prove its worth by defeating powerful enemies, including the Alien Queen and the Marine Commander.
Environments:
The game is set aboard a massive space station, divided into different levels, including dark corridors, laboratories, and ventilation shafts. The atmosphere is eerie, and the game makes heavy use of the sci-fi horror themes from both franchises.
Graphics and Sound:
For its time, the game had impressive visuals, leveraging the Atari Jaguar’s 64-bit capabilities. While the graphics are pixelated by today’s standards, the game was lauded for its atmospheric lighting and detailed environments. The sound design also stands out, with suspenseful ambient noise, weapon sounds, and the haunting cries of Aliens in the distance, enhancing the tension.
Reception:
Despite the Jaguar’s relatively small user base, *Alien vs. Predator* was considered one of the best games on the system, praised for its innovative gameplay and immersion. It effectively captured the feel of both the Alien and Predator franchises, offering distinct gameplay experiences depending on the character chosen.
The game was a highlight of the Atari Jaguar library, and is often remembered for its blend of horror, action, and exploration.
