Play Alex the Allegator 2 Online

Game Overview

Alex the Allegator 2 looks like Othello at first—same 8x8 grid, same satisfying click when you drop a tile—but then things get weird in the best way. Instead of just flipping pieces, you can shove entire rows sideways or nudge columns up and down, trying to line up four matching tiles to clear them. The real kicker? You score points off anyone's tiles if you're sneaky about it.

There's this moment when you realize gray tiles keep popping up like uninvited guests, and suddenly your perfect plan goes sideways. But if you manage to box six tiles together, you get a wildcard—bright yellow, totally cheating, absolutely glorious. Play against the AI (which gets weirdly smug when it slides a row just right) or a friend who'll definitely argue about whether that last move was legal.

It's the kind of game where you lose twenty minutes deciding whether to block their score or go for your own big combo. Still holds up, even with those chunky MS-DOS graphics.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
