The players take control of up to three of four characters: Dutch, Linn, a Predator hunter, and a Predator warrior, and battle the Aliens through seven stages. The Predators offer an alliance with the two cyborgs in order to stop the Alien infestation. Before they can be killed, a pair of the Predators appear and destroy the Aliens. San Drad (a possible mistranslation of Japanized English San Dorado, サン・ドラド), California, has been overrun by the Aliens, and the cybernetically-enhanced Major Dutch Schaefer and Lieutenant Linn Kurosawa of the United States Colonial Marine Corps have been abandoned by their superiors and are cornered by a swarm of the Alien drones. The player can also find jewels for bonus points, or food and medicine to restore lost health. Dutch and the Predators can move and fight while waiting for their ammunition to refill, and unlike Linn's automatic pistol, their meters will gradually refill when not firing.Īssorted weapons such as grenade launchers and flamethrowers can be found or taken from fallen enemies, but these have a limited ammunition supply. Linn's ammunition refills the fastest and allows the most shots, but she is completely defenseless while she reloads. Ammunition is represented by a meter near the bottom of the screen when the meter is depleted, the character is unable to fire until it refills. Linn uses a rapid-firing handgun, Dutch has a smart gun in his cybernetic arm, and the Predators both use shoulder-mounted energy weapons. Dutch has no such weapon, but can hit enemies with his cybernetic arm in addition, he can hold and swing any melee weapon dropped by another character, instead of throwing it as the other playable characters do.Įach character is also equipped with a projectile weapon for ranged attacks. Three of the four characters are equipped with a melee weapon: a katana for Linn, a bladed naginata staff for the Hunter, and an extendable-retractable spear/staff for the Warrior. Four characters are available for the players' use: two cyborg soldiers, Major Dutch Schaefer and Lieutenant Linn Kurosawa and two Predators, a Hunter and a Warrior.

The default cabinet for the game allows as many as three players to play simultaneously, although some smaller cabinets only accommodate two players. Predator uses a control setup with an eight-directional joystick and three buttons: one to attack, one to jump, and one to shoot.
