The game takes place on Vega 4 in the city of New Shanghai. During some underground construction, a work crew came upon a species of aliens, who attacked the workers and then quickly moved to the surface. The people of New Shanghai, unfamiliar with the xenomorphs, were quickly overcome, but not before broadcasting a distress signal to Earth which was also received by a passing ship of Predators. The Predators went to Vega 4 to hunt this species of aliens rather than hunting down humans as prey because it was decided that these aliens were more of a challenge than humans. After completing the stages of Vega 4 the player travels to the Orion Nebula, the region of space where this species of Aliens came from. The final boss, the queen alien, can be found there.

Stage 1[edit]

In this stage, enemies can be knocked off the left or right of the screen (but aren't killed). If this happens, they will always return with a jumping attack.

A guaranteed method to defeat the first boss is to stand in the spotlight, and use the slide attack as soon as the queen jumps out of the water. While a slow approach, it is the safest since there is no change of being damaged.
