Play Alien Trilogy Online

Alien Trilogy came out in 1996 for MS-DOS, published by Acclaim Entertainment. It was one of those early first-person shooters that tried to capture the look and tension of the films, running on hardware that could just barely handle dark, claustrophobic environments. At the time, it stood out for its licensed setting and commitment to horror atmosphere, even if the technology showed its limits.

You play as Ellen Ripley, moving through industrial complexes and alien hives, clearing rooms of xenomorphs and facehuggers. The goal is straightforward: survive, complete mission objectives, and exterminate the alien threat. Key mechanics include managing a limited arsenal, from pulse rifles to flamethrowers, and using a motion tracker to anticipate enemies lurking off-screen. The game is methodical and often difficult, with cramped level design that forces careful ammo conservation and tense, close-quarters fights. It feels like a slow, stressful crawl through hostile territory where every sound puts you on edge.

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