Most-played Predator games
Predator 2
Sega GenesisAction
Predator 2 is a 1992 action game developed by Teeny Weeny Games and published by Acclaim Entertainment for the Sega Genesis. It adapts the film’s urban science-fiction premise, placing the player in control of Lieutenant Mike Harrigan during a violent gang war in near-future Los Angeles. The game combines side-scrolling shooting, platforming, close-range combat, and weapon collection. Harrigan moves through dangerous streets and interiors while confronting gang members, police threats, and Predator forces. Contemporary reception was mixed, with the licensed setting and varied weapons receiving attention, while difficulty, repetitive combat, and uneven presentation were common criticisms.
Predator
Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)Action
Predator is a side-scrolling action game developed and published by Activision for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. It adapts the 1987 science-fiction film, placing the player in control of Dutch as he fights through hostile jungle environments and confronts the alien Predator. The game combines platforming, run-and-gun shooting, exploration, and close-range combat across dangerous stages filled with armed enemies and environmental hazards. Its premise follows the film only loosely, and the NES version is chiefly remembered for its difficult controls, uneven challenge, and rough presentation. It remains a notable licensed home-console adaptation from the late 1980s.

| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
