Card Games
Released in 1997 by HarperCollins, the Premiere Edition of the Aliens Predator CCG featured over 370 cards, allowing players to be either the Humans, Aliens, or Predators. The different types of cards made included Main Characters, Supporting Characters, Locations, Items, and Events. Cards were sold in 60-Card Starter Decks and 15-Card Booster Packs. Precedence, who designed the Premiere Edition under Harper, quit and for 2 years nothing happened. Then Michael 'Pestilence' Pease started a company called ZI Games which was contracted by Harper to design two more expansions, Resurrection and Atmosphere. Besides designing the expansions they also set up a rep program to demo the game, a public discussion list for answering questions, and an extensive official website (now long gone). The first expansion, Resurrection, shipped out on May 14th, 1999. Available in 9-Card Booster Packs, it introduced Barriers, Battle Conditions, Attachments, and Ammo card types along with the Rogue and Cloned Alien factions. After GenCon 1999, Harper stopped supporting the Aliens Predator CCG and fired everyone who worked on it. Atmosphere was never released although it was completed. It would've included characters from the first Predator film ala Dutch, Billy, etc. A third standalone expansion, Cityscape, based on Predator 2 was planned but not designed.
