==Story==
[[San Drad, California]] has been overrun by {{Xeno}}s. Two soldiers were caught in the town during the initial alien outbreak and were abandoned by the rest of their team as well as their superiors, and are cornered by a swarm of Xenomorph [[Warrior]]s. Before they can be killed, two {{Pred}}s appear and destroy the Xenomorphs, saving the soldiers (who are assumed to be [[human]]s but are later revealed to be cyborgs judging by their Character's Profile during the game's attract mode). The Predators offer an alliance with the cybernetic humans, in order to stop the Xenomorph infestation. Eventually, it is discovered that the Alien presence on [[Earth]] (and the subsequent swarm that overran San Drad) was the result of an experiment headed by a [[United States Colonial Marine Corps]] general known as Bush in conjunction with the [[Weyland-Yutani|Weyland-Yutani Corporation]].

In the end, the Alien [[Hive]] on Earth is destroyed by a military ship set on a course that causes it to crash into San Drad, destroying the Alien threat along with a good portion of the western US, if the explosion in the ending credits is to scale. The story ends with the veteran Predator (Predator Warrior) breaking off his [[Wristblades|Wristblade]] and giving the piece to Linn and Dutch. When asked why the Predators helped, they jokingly light their [[Plasmacaster]] sights at them with the leader saying, "They'll know," before departing into space, indicating their hunting season is over... for now.

Revision as of 10:09, 8 April 2020




Alien vs. Predator is a 1994 side-scrolling fighting arcade game developed and published by Capcom and released on the CPS-2 arcade hardware. The default cabinet for the game allowed for up to three players to play simultaneously, although some smaller cabinets only allowing two-player play were used.

This game has never been "officially" ported to any home consoles or any other systems as of today, by Capcom nor Fox Interactive, and it remains exclusively an arcade game in genuine form. A port for the Sega 32X was announced for a 1995 release, but it was never published.

Story

San Drad, California has been overrun by Xenomorphs. Two soldiers were caught in the town during the initial alien outbreak and were abandoned by the rest of their team as well as their superiors, and are cornered by a swarm of Xenomorph Drones. Before they can be killed, two Yautjas appear and destroy the Xenomorphs, saving the soldiers. The Predators offer an alliance with the humans, in order to stop the Xenomorph infestation. Eventually, it is discovered that the Alien presence on Earth (and the subsequent swarm that overran San Drad) was the result of an experiment headed by a United States Colonial Marine Corps general known as Bush in conjunction with the Weyland-Yutani Corporation.

In the end, the Alien Hive on Earth is destroyed by a military ship set on a course that causes it to crash into San Drad, destroying the Alien threat along with a good portion of the western US, if the explosion in the ending credits is to scale. The story ends with the veteran Predator (Predator Warrior) breaking off his Wristblade and giving the piece to Linn and Dutch. When asked why the Predators helped, they jokingly light their Plasmacaster sights at them with the leader saying, "They'll know," before departing into space, indicating their hunting season is over... for now.
