A shuttle crashes in the city of San Drad, California, carrying with it a deadly cargo of Xenomorphs. Two cyborg soldiers are trapped while fighting their way to the central hive, only to be rescued by a group of Predators. They decide to work together to rip the heart out of the infestation.

An arcade-only BeatEmUp by Creator/{{Capcom}}, this is one of two ''AlienVsPredator'' games released in 1994 with the same title.
Up to three players select from four playable characters. The Predators provide a warrior and a hunter, while the humans are represented by two cyborgs: Major Dutch Schaeffer (the hero of ''Film/{{Predator}}'') and Lieutenant Linn Kurosawa (who has several {{Lawyer Friendly Cameo}}s in later Capcom games). Together they wield a wide variety of weapons for fighting the Aliens invading Earth in great numbers.

!!This arcade game contains the following tropes:
* BookEnds: In multiplayer at the start of stage 1 the human characters ask the Predator Warrior why the predators are helping them, to which he responds that if they survive this, he will tell them. Cue the ending, where the humans repeat the question, to which they get a cryptic "You'll know."
* ColonyDrop: The heroes destroy the alien hive in the city by making the BigBad's ship crash into it.
* {{Cyborg}}: Dutch has a huge mechanical arm. The only reason you can tell Linn's a cyborg is when she starts slinging Xenomorphs around.
* DeadpanSnarker: One funny moment of this in the Japanese version on the malfunctioning elevator:
-->'''Dutch:''' "Jeez, stuck again. What a rickety old junk..."\\
'''Predator Warrior:''' "You mean yourself?"
* DegradedBoss: The Chrysalis and Power Loader bosses return (in pairs) during the final stage.
* EliteMooks: The uncommon Royal Guards (seemingly based on the Praetorian aliens) serve this role.
* FragileSpeedster: Linn Kurosawa is the traditional weak but fast character.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Just before the FinalBoss fight, the Queens impales the Corrupt General and then rips him in two in direct homage to similar scene in ''[[Film/{{Alien}} Aliens]]''.
* ItsAWonderfulFailure: In the continue screens, humans characters get an Alien creeping upon them, while the Predators start the SelfDestructSequence.
* ItsPersonal: The Predators after killing their infected comrade.
* JackOfAllStats: Predator Warrior is the Jack while Predator Hunter is the LightningBruiser.
* KamehameHadoken / KiAttacks: Linn Kurosawa has one special move where she charges then unleashes Ki.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Linn Kurosawa carries one into battle. It's so much better, in fact, that it doesn't melt on contact with AlienBlood.
* MightyGlacier: Dutch Schaefer qualifies as this.
* NotQuiteDead: The Alien Queen.
* OptionalCharacterScene: Depending on number of players and chosen characters: Example (based on Japanese version) at the start of stage 5, when the human soldiers are attacking the party:
-->'''Linn:''' "There shouldn't be any other military units left besides us!"\\
'''Dutch:''' [[ShoutOut "Christ...we were disposable!"]]\\
'''Predator Hunter:''' "So you are throwaway cyborgs... how miserable..."\\
'''Linn:''' "Shut Up! We are humans!"
* PercussiveMaintenance: Our heroes arrive at the malfunctioning cargo elevator.
-->'''Dutch:''' "I know how to handle this." ''(punches the terminal, elevator stars moving)'' "See? American Know-How."
