Play An American Tail - Fievel Goes West Online

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West came out in 1993 for MS-DOS, part of that wave of licensed platformers from the era. It was developed by Manley & Associates and published by Hudson Soft, a familiar name from that time. The game captures the look and feel of the animated film, translating its Wild West mouse adventure into a side-scrolling format typical for the platform.

You control Fievel Mousekewitz, navigating through multi-level stages, avoiding cats and other hazards. Your main goal is to rescue your family and friends by progressing screen by screen, using a cork gun to temporarily stun enemies. The game involves a lot of jumping between platforms, collecting items like coins and keys, and finding hidden areas. The pacing is brisk, though some sections can be unforgiving with instant-death pits and aggressive enemy placement. It feels like a straightforward, sometimes challenging run-and-gun platformer with a distinct cartoon charm.

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