Arnold Schwarzenegger is by far the most popular movie star for 'pixellation' and Predator is one of the best of his films. Arnie and his team are down in South America on a covert 'search and rescue' mission. After locating an enemy base, and reducing it to ruins, the team are forced to retreat into the jungle and at this point they face a near invincible alien hunter, the Predator, who's about to engage in a little blood sport.

Predator begins well with a looped demo of the alien's arrival but immediately after this the game hits a long multi-load system which may well seem wasteful when you see how simple the first level is. Things get a little more complex towards the end of the game as weapons prove useless against the Predator, and at this point a little thought is required. Despite only four levels and relatively simple action it's very professionally done with great scrolling, highly atmospheric graphics and some superb sound effects. A good movie tie-in.
