Thanks to the National Videogame Museum in Frisco, Texas, we now know that a proposal for an Alien-versus-Predator football face-off existed - and it’s too, too bad that the idea never made it past the concept stage. Predator on the big screen, the duo could have gotten their crossover start by playing football against each other in a video game for the SEGA Genesis. Yep, you read that right: Long before there ever was an Alien vs. For a brief moment sometime in the 1990s, some would-be game developer had the amazing idea of forcing Alien and Predator to settle their cosmic differences. And as for pitting Alien and Predator against each other by bringing them into the same movie-verse - well, it can’t get crazier than that, right?Īctually, it can - and almost did.
So too is the idea of a manhunting, Day-Glo-blooded race of distant hunters who treat Planet Earth like a game preserve. When you think about it, the idea of a hard-shelled, virtually indestructible xenomorphic organism from outer space is pretty crazy on its own.
