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 US NES Predator landed in late 1989 on a market already crowded with licensed movie tie-ins. It stays more available than the Famicom edition but belongs to the uneven wave of film ports that shaped Activision's reputation at the time. Collector pull centres on the North American cover art and complete copies rather than gameplay, the title never building a lasting ludic following.
