Grab a seat. Enjoy the show. This is history.

Ten years on from the first Predator movie, the sequel's setting is dramatically shifted from the steamy Mexican jungle to LA suburbia. Arnie is nowhere to be seen so the future of humanity rests in the capable hands of disgruntled, veteran cop, Danny Glover. His normal routine revolving around nailing viciously unscrupulous Colombian and Jamaican drug cartels must be put on hold when the Predator, a technologically advanced alien hunter, puts in an appearance to terrorise the already underfire city.

Whilst nowhere near matching the success of the first movie, Predator 2 returned a moderate box office profit. Therefore was considered sufficiently popular to spawn an accompanying multi-format video game courtesy of Arc Developments. It's a cross-hair targeting shooter played in third-person mode given that we see our protagonist, Lieutenant Michael R. Harrigan, onscreen as a wireframe sprite. Whilst cleaning up the streets of LA en route to the Predator's ship we must sustain our armour by collecting top-ups and upgrade weaponry to improve our chances as the difficulty level escalates.

Who loves you, and who do you love!

In a terrifying dystopian future framed by the milieu of a totalitarian police state, Arnie Schwarzenegger is impelled into the limelight as The Running Man aka Ben Richards, a police helicopter pilot ensnared and incarcerated for the digitally faked massacre of a group of civilians in Bakersfield, California. This lands Ben in a secure labour camp prison and ultimately on the even more oppressive set of The Running Man game show where he's coerced into fighting for his life by unscrupulous, slimy host, Damon Killian, for the sake of sport and entertainment. Once thrust into the claustrophobic game zone, a dilapidated, forsaken area of Los Angeles ravaged by an earthquake, Ben must defend himself from contrived tournament encounters with various professional combatants known as stalkers. Can he survive long enough to rescue his fellow inmates and expose the hypocrisy and corruption of the ICS TV network?

Two years on in 1989, a multi-format action-platform Running Man gaming adaptation emerged courtesy of Emerald Software. As in the movie, Arnie roams a gutted landscape infested with pernicious gladiators slathering at the prospect of painting the streets red with his internals. Upon reaching the TV studio we endure further onslaughts from attack dogs and their guard handlers before finally coming face to face with the orchestrator of our live-broadcasted misery, Damon Killian.
