Predator adapts the John McTiernan film on Activision NES with commando Dutch tracking the alien predator in Central American jungle. The representation chains jungle platform and fixed pattern combat with varied weapons in a horror SF film license formula. Honest for NES license fans, curiosity of the 8 bit Activision catalog.

Collector interest

Activision's Predator on Famicom never left Japan, making it the title's only physical release in that region. A licensed adaptation of the cult 1987 film, it appeals to collectors who track Japanese editions from American publishers, an unusual pairing on the platform. Desirability rests on the scarcity of complete Japanese copies rather than gameplay reputation, the title staying minor within Activision's catalogue.
