Predator
Predator - NES.jpg
Platform: NES
Year: 1988
Developer: Pack-In-Video
Buy: Amazon

From the same developer who brought us Die Hard (NES), Pack-In-Video, Predator is a action/sidescroller game loosely based on the popular action film of the same name starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The player takes the role of Major Dutch Schaefer who's army has been wiped out and is the only one left who can kill the "Predator" which is said to feed on human flesh.

The game is known for not having anything to do with the movie besides having Major Dutch Schaefer and the Predator. The first thing the game has wrong is that the graphic designers decided pink would be a nice outfit color on Arnie. The second thing is that you are battling aliens that weren't even in the movie like giant amoebas, green jellyfish, a weird creature that looks like the mix of a seahorse and a bird, eyes with wings and legs and more. The game also introduces what's called Big Mode that's an arcade-style sidescrolling shooter where Arnie's got to shoot his way through blueberries, raspberries, blue and red bubbles (some of which contain powerups) and at the end he fights an incarnation of the Predator. The game received mostly negative reviews because of its poor gameplay and how loosely it was based on the movie.

Music

The music is pretty good for an NES soundtrack, in fact, so good it doesn't deserve to be in this game. The music is at a fast pace to get you into the feel of the game. The music comes from the MSX version of the game. The NES version uses Junichi Saito's sound driver, indicating that he arranged the soundtrack.

Credits

(Verification from staff: game lacks credits.)

The MSX version may have credits, but has yet to be verified. The MSX version of Replicart by the same developer, Klon, credits Tsuyoshi Sakata, so he may have composed the original soundtrack.
