Alien vs Predator is a first-person shooter video game developed by Rebellion Developments and published by Atari Corporation for the Atari Jaguar in 1994. Being one of the earliest entries based on the Alien vs. Predator franchise, the game allows the player to take control of one of three playable characters avaiable: the Alien, the Predator, or the human Private Lance Lewis (named after one of the designers and testers of the game) of the Colonial Marines. It received critical acclaim for it's graphics, atmosphere and the single-player campaign. It is often considered one of the best games released for the system and the killer app of the Jaguar.
Atari Corporation started discussions with Beyond Games about developing a sequel to the game, titled Alien vs Predator 2: Annihilation due to Rebellion being occupied by other projects they were developing for the system, but the negotiations stopped shortly before the official discontinuation of the Jaguar.
Alien vs Predator is a first-person shooter which takes place on a rudimentary 3D environment (similar to Wolfenstein 3D) with two-dimensional digitalized sprites. Each player character has its own scenario, objectives, weapons, and abilities.
When playing as the Alien, the player's objective is to rescue the Alien queen, who is being held captive on a Predator spaceship. The player must fight numerous marines and Predators through various sublevels of the ship in order to reach the Queen. The Alien is the only character unable to heal itself from injuries, instead it can "cocoons" marines; if the Alien dies, a cocooned marine will become a new Alien (cocooned Marines act as lives in this scenario), allowing the player to continue from that location. The Alien is unable to use elevators and instead travels between levels of the ship through air ducts.
