[edit] Storyline
From the introduction:
| “ | The Date: 2593 A.D.
The Planet: Alpha Centauri 3, 8.6 Light-years from Earth. Background: Originally settled by human colonists for the purpose of mining the rich ore deposits and shipping them back to the resource-depleted Earth. Recent Events: A predator drone ship placed alien eggs onto the planet, which hatched and produced a fine crop of alien prey. The human population was eradicated in the process. A predator hunting party then arrived to hunt the aliens, but the number of aliens was underestimated and all the predators were, in turn, wiped out. Theory: An alien queen is present, which would explain the larger-than-anticipated population of aliens. Mission: It is now up to you, the last of your clan, to regain the predators' honor. And your own. |

[edit] Gameplay

The player controls the Predator, who must proceed through a warehouse-like area to eventually find and defeat the Alien queen. Each level is laid out like a maze with a series of platforms and ladders. The Predator must find a key located somewhere in the level and use it to pass the exit door for the level (presented as a thick black block). A map is drawn at the top of the screen and is filled in as the player explores the level to aid in navigation. The Predator has an energy meter that starts at 50 and gradually decreases over time. Once the meter has emptied, the Predator's map will slowly be completely cleared. Some levels feature an energy power-up that will refill the energy meter.
[edit] Weapons and items
The predator has a number of weapons at his disposal:
The default weapon. A pair of blades extending from the predator's wrist. Only effective at close range.
A circular blade that works like a boomerang. Must be collected in a stage.
A shoulder-mounted cannon that fires a long-distance energy shot. Must be collected in a stage.
- Bombs
A small black orb that can destroy brick walls and boost the predator's jumps. Must be collected in a stage.
Makes the predator blink rapidly. It makes him invulnerable to all enemies, but rapidly drains his energy.
[edit] Enemies
A parasite that pops from an egg when the player draws near. If it strikes the player, it latches onto his face and must be shaken off.
- Chestburster
A snake-like creature that crawls along the floor and can also make short jumps.
- Alien drone
Rushes at the player and attacks with its claws. On later stages, requires multiple hits to kill.
The final boss of the game. Uses her extendible mandibles to attack.
