Play Alien vs. Predator Online

Summary

Alien vs Predator for the Atari Lynx promised a three‑way showdown that let you step into the shoes of a Colonial Marine, an Alien or a Predator. The game’s pitch was simple yet ambitious: pick your weapon, then brawl with the iconic warriors of the franchise, using each side’s unique tools and tactics to either destroy a human base, defend a hive and rescue a queen, or hunt trophies like the Alien Queen’s skull. Developed by Image and slated for a 1994 launch, the title was cancelled before it ever hit shelves, making it a rare footnote in Atari’s catalog. Despite sharing the AVP name, this handheld version was never meant to be a port of the console or PC entries; it was a distinct project built around the Lynx’s hardware. The cancellation left fans with only promotional blurbs, but the concept still stands out as an early attempt to give players true choice among the three classic antagonists.
