Play Aliens (1989) Online
That pulse rifle sound kicks in and suddenly you're backpedaling down dim hallways, watching your flamethrower fuel tick down while something hisses in the vents above you. Every door you open could be your last.
Game Overview
Man, Aliens (1989) on MS-DOS was something else. You start off with that iconic pulse rifle sound—you know the one—and suddenly you're knee-deep in xenomorph guts. The side-scrolling action feels claustrophobic in the best way, like the movie: dim corridors, flickering lights, and those creepy skittering noises just before an alien lunges at you from the ceiling.
What I loved was how it didn’t just throw endless ammo at you. You’d ration flamethrower fuel, hesitate before opening doors, and actually panic when a facehugger got too close. The pixel art’s rough by today’s standards, but the tension? Still holds up. It’s one of those rare movie games that didn’t just cash in—it made you feel like you were in the film, sweating through your marine armor.
If you’ve got a soft spot for retro shooters that punish you just enough to keep it thrilling, this one’s a blast from the past worth revisiting.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
