Alien vs. Predator (Intro)
2Bout presents: Alien vs. Predator (Intro)
Alien vs Predator is a 1993 beat 'em up video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, developed by Jorudan and published by Information Global Service in Japan and by Activision internationally. An arcade game of the same title was released by Capcom eight months later, but the two games are different and their storylines are unrelated to each other.
You're a Predator warrior in the 25th century, an awesome monster with an ugly face, brute strength and very cool weapons. Trained to fight with all that Predator technology has to offer... destroy or be destroyed. You've come to New Shanghai, a city on the planet Vega 4, to hunt humans, but instead, you find Aliens –powerful, double-jawed beasts bent on annihilating life. You're outnumbered, but not outsmarted– and the hunt is on.
Alien drones, warriors, chest-bursters and face-huggers stand in your way. Use your lasers, blades and special weapons of destruction to win honor for your deeds. Destroy the Guardian Aliens to advance to the next level, then follow your primal instinct to reach the ultimate prey... the Alien Queen. 2 Player VS Mode is only available in the Japanese version of the game. US and European releases only feature the 1 player mode.
The game is set on the planet Vega 4 in the city of New Shanghai. A work crew performing underground construction discovers a colony of Aliens which attack them and then quickly moved to the surface. The city is quickly overcome by the Aliens, but the citizens send out a distress signal to Earth which is also received by a passing Predator ship. The Predators decide to hunt the Aliens on Vega 4, seeing them as challenging prey.
The player battles through six stages, fighting various types of Aliens and bosses. Many of the boss enemies are Aliens which have gestated in different types of animals and thus demonstrate characteristics of those animals. These include an aquatic Alien that emerges from a dolphin, a primate-like Alien gestated in an ape, a winged Alien gestated in a bat, and a snake-like Alien. After battling the Aliens on Vega 4 the Predator player travels to the Orion Nebula for the final stage and battles the Alien queen.
Alien vs Predator is a beat 'em up and side-scrolling game where the player takes on the role of the Predator as they move through levels fighting Alien Drones, Chestbursters and Facehuggers. The game has six levels (although some are split into two or three separate points) and has an Alien boss for each level. The Predators begin their hunt in the city and after clearing the streets and sewers of Aliens, they head to the forest and then into a hive at the base of the forest's waterfall. Eventually the only remaining Aliens are at the spaceport where the Predators continue to hunt them. It is soon discovered that the Aliens came from the Orion Nebula, so the Predators fly an Alien-infested spaceship to the Orion Nebula seeking a richer hunting ground. The spaceship is the longest level, but once it's cleared, the Predators arrive and after clearing the surface head into the Hive for the final showdown with the Alien Queen.
Take control–in these game, the player controls a Predator and must advance through various stages killing all of the Aliens. The player character may temporarily become invisible and may charge their energy weapons to destroy all onscreen enemies at once.

Alien vs Predator for the Super Nintendo was first released in Japan by Information Global Service on January 8, 1993. The game was then released by Activision in North America in September 1993 and later in Europe on November of the same year.
The Japanese version, titled Aliens vs. Predator, has several gameplay differences compared to the international version such as the Predator moving slower, though players can make him run by tapping the direction button twice and sporting an orange color, whereas the Predator in the international version moves faster but is unable to run and sports a brown color, as well as the charging meter for the player's energy weapon being shorter.
Alien vs Predator on the Super NES was met with mixed critical reception since its release.
