Back when Dark Horse comics produced the first AVP comic book series, I tried to figure out how it could be turned into a videogame. My first idea was a distinctly underwhelming mixture of game styles - as was common with movie adaptations on the Spectrum, C64, Amstrad, etc. However, I've always wanted to work on a point'n'click adventure, and certain aspects of the story kind of lent itself to that style of game... So here's a selection of screens that I put together in Flash!

The idea was that you'd start the game as Machiko Noguchi, colony administrator, just as the settlement becomes overrun by the Aliens during a Predator rites-of-passage hunt, but switching to Broken Tusk for certain sequences. It's a bit rough-and-ready, partly because I was using Flash, partly because I don't much like drawing backgrounds, and partly because I wasn't very good at organising a 16 colour palette...

I had some of the character art done, but no animation to speak of...

There's a demo available in the public domain, as a disk image which can be run in SimCoupé, if anyone's interested...
