In Jungle Mode, the object of the game is to survive the dangers of the jungle while you shoot down guerillas and wildlife using a variety of weapons including machine guns, laser rays, and grenades (all with unlimited ammo).
You exit the stage by entering a cave to proceed to the next level.
Sometimes there is more than one cave, and you will be warped to another stage other than the next one, depending on what cave you enter.
After three or so stages, you enter the game's Big Mode.
The object here is to blast blue and purple spheres before they have a chance to hurt you.
Some spheres have power-ups that will increase your firepower.
When you have made some distance, you have to defeat the Predator before you can continue on to the next stage.
Big Mode is the same throughout the game, but the only difference here is the Predator's attack pattern.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Predator for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Predator to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 1987.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Predator, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Sega Genesis titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
