History Of Alien Vs. Predator Games Explored

Thanks to 1UP for their story exploring the varied history of Alien Vs. Predator games for PCs, consoles, and handhelds, pointing out "...aliens have fought Predators while eating Colonial Marines on half a dozen game platforms with no sign of letting up." Titles featured include Capcom's 2D arcade version, notable for "ridiculous life power-ups, including tossed salads, giant pizza pies with everything, and delicately-garnished plates of sea bream", the first-person shooter Atari Jaguar version, "employing the concept that would later become central to the franchise - the game would be playable from the point of view of all three species", and Rebellion's follow-up PC version, described as "a heck of a game if it's patched to repair the flaws in its initial release."

We first had these two great movies, Alien and Predator.

Alien featured a lesbian Sigourney Weaver (but I repeat myself) and a gruesome thing which poked its way through people's stomachs and that you could pretend that you didn't see the cheezy stick manipulating it.

Predator featured two future governors! One was Jesse "I ain't got time to bleed" the body Ventura, and the other was Arnold "Whachu talkin' 'bout Willis" Schwarzenegger. There was also some weird invisible guy who ran around the jungle killing people.

Capitalizing on the success of these two movies, game makers made a game where the Alien from Alien and the Predator from Predator fought. They keep remaking this game.
