Play Alien Bash Online

Alien Bash came out for the Amiga in 1993, developed by The Vision Factory and published by Flair Software. It was one of those straightforward, no frills side-scrolling shooters that filled out the library on the platform, sitting comfortably alongside other run-and-gun titles of the era without trying to reinvent the wheel.

You control a lone marine fighting through waves of aliens across several sci-fi themed levels. Your main goal is simply to survive each stage, clearing the screen of enemies before moving on to face a boss. The game gives you a standard blaster to start, but you can collect power-ups for temporary upgrades like a rapid-fire laser or homing missiles. The pacing is relentless; enemies pour in from both sides of the screen, and the difficulty ramps up quickly, demanding quick reflexes and good positioning. Playing it feels like a constant, tense scramble for firepower just to stay alive.
