Predator

Hateful game, saw lots of playthroughs that moaned the Amiga version didn't have an actual end game sequence............ after nearly 30 years I can confirm that it actually does!

Well worth waiting for? :P

Now hang on.

It has a bit of colour cycling to "simulate" a nuclear explosion, and then that picture.

Some people just want it all!

I think these trees should be broken not cut

Thanks for screenshot.

And how do you get to that screen if many have been saying there is no end?

Ian · 15 November 2017, 00:34

**bing**

Achievement "They'll never f#@king see this" unlocked.

I picked up the radio on level 3, and never picked up a weapon again.

I also punched the shit out of the Predator which might have contributed to me getting the end sequence.

Will have to look at the code and see what triggered it.

Well that's a pretty awesome find.

That's right! As perhaps other non-ending games also could have one hidden way to get a final.

I just have one question: was playing this walk left-to-right simulator a voluntary act?

s2325 · 15 November 2017, 21:18

My Predator memories are mixed with Platoon and this is not good sign.

PortuguesePilot · 16 November 2017, 01:02

Always loved the original Predator film. It's top-notch 80's sci-fi/action. The second isn't as good but it's sort of nifty anyway. All the other derivatives (Alien vs Predator, Predators, etc) were, unfortunately, utter crap. Though somewhat weary, I'm looking forwards for next year's "Predator".

The games, however, were a completely different story altogether. None of them were any good (not even Predator 2, the 1st person shooter). In any platform (Amiga, Spectrum, PC, whatever). No surprise, then, that I never played the original Predator game to the end, so I never knew that there was no end game sequence (or that there is, actually).

Much like s2325, I also think that the original Predator game and the original Platoon game had too much in common (were utter crap) and resonated quite the same way. Interestingly, I have the Platoon movie also in high regard.

Alas... Amiga Movie licenses. Safe for a very few exceptions, we all know what we had to endure.

Aliens on arcade, by Konami, is rather good IMO.

And saying that, Alien vs Predator on arcades by Capcom is freaking awesome.

Retro-Nerd · 16 November 2017, 02:44

Very true. And Predator 2 on the Mega Drive is probably the best port of the movie. Not a really great but a fun Alien Syndrome/Rambo III (MD) clone, or something close.

Completely forgot about the arcade versions. I should have said arcade games notwithstanding. The Konami version of "Aliens" (which is not related to "Predator") is somewhat 'meh' for me, but the CPS2 "Alien vs Predator" is, indeed, awesome. MUCH better than any of the cross-universe movies.

This thread managed to make me want to play the Amiga version. Let's see if it really is as pants as I remember it to be.

AVP on the Atari Jaguar was a good film tie in

Retro1234 · 16 November 2017, 11:25

I like the Terminator games and Alien³ is ok.

So many great movies back then Predator, Terminator, Rambo, Aliens etc.....

You forgot Robocop though

Classic cult movies

ransom1122 · 14 December 2017, 19:43

Galahad any more info on the code as to what triggers the ending?

dreamkatcha · 28 December 2018, 14:23

So that'll be the aftermath of the Predator detonating! I love this kind of long lost trivia, thanks.

The Amiga version is still missing the bit where Arnie drops the tree trunk counterweight on him as in the 8-bit versions then?
