Hack And Slash Sci Fi Arcade Co Op Capcom Beat 'em Up

description Alien vs. Predator (Capcom) Overview

Released by Capcom in 1994, Alien vs. Predator turns the science-fiction crossover into an arcade beat 'em up. Four playable characters include two human cyborgs and two Predators, who battle waves of Xenomorphs through side-scrolling stages. The character selection combines human weaponry with the Predators' distinctive fighting styles, giving the crossover a practical role in the action.

Built for Capcom's CPS-2 arcade hardware, the game features detailed sprite animation and cooperative play. It suits players interested in arcade combat and in the history of licensed games that interpret their source material through a specific genre. This version has its own identity and should be distinguished from other games sharing the Alien vs. Predator name.

It also predates the crossover films, rather than adapting their plots or functioning as a direct companion to them.
