Play Aliens (1996) Online

I remember playing Aliens from the 1996 MS-DOS Classic Games collection, developed by Probe Entertainment and published by Fox Interactive. It was one of those mid-90s PC releases that tried to capture the tension of the films, back when first-person shooters were still finding their feet. The game drops you into the claustrophobic hallways and industrial complexes familiar from the movies, with pixelated shadows and low-res textures setting a grim, paranoid mood.

You control a colonial marine, moving screen by screen through maze-like levels, clearing rooms of xenomorphs while hunting for keycards and activating terminals to progress. The combat is frantic; you switch between a pulse rifle, flamethrower, and smartgun, each useful in different situations, but ammo is scarce and aliens swarm from every air duct. The pacing is relentless, with respawning enemies and limited health making every encounter tense. It feels like fighting through a nightmare where you're never truly safe.

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