Play Alive Sharks Online
Dive deep as a lone diver, shoot sharks with your harpoon, and survive as long as you can in this intense MS-DOS classic.
Alive Sharks was part of the MS-DOS Classic Games collection, a compilation of early titles that captured the spirit of PC gaming in the 1980s. While specific developer or publisher details for this particular release are not widely documented, it fits squarely among the simple, direct action games that relied on clear mechanics and escalating tension rather than complex narratives or elaborate graphics.
You control a lone diver armed only with a harpoon, tasked with surviving as long as possible against increasingly aggressive sharks. The screen scrolls vertically as you descend, and your objective is straightforward: shoot each shark before it reaches you. Signature mechanics include aiming with limited ammunition and dealing with sharks that approach from all sides, often blending into the dark water until the last moment. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty spikes quickly, leaving little room for error. It feels like a tense, minimalist battle of reflexes where every shot counts.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
