Predator is a 1987 side-scrolling action game based on the film of the same title.

Gameplay

The player starts off with no weapons and must collect them as the game progresses.

Reception

Predator received mixed but largely positive reviews across all the platforms, including the accolades of CU Screen Star from Commodore User for the Commodore 64 version and C+VG Hit! from Computer + Video Games for the ZX Spectrum version.[1][2] Rachael Smith of Your Sinclair gave the latter version of the game a score of 7/10, opining it has "great graphics, but too tough to get to grips with when sudden death sneaks up at every opportunity."[3] In Germany, Predator was put on the "Index" by the Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien (BPjM),[4] which made it illegal to sell or make the game available to minors in Germany, as well as making it illegal to advertise the game in any form.
