Play An American Tail: The Computer Adventures of Fievel and His Friends Online

Game Overview

Remember that old animated movie about the little mouse who gets separated from his family on the way to America? This MS-DOS game lets you actually be Fievel, sneaking around 1900s New York with all its weird alleyways and towering boots. At first you're just trying to find your family, but then it turns into this whole adventure—you'll be collecting random junk (why does a mouse need a thimble?), talking to some seriously oddball characters, and figuring out how to get past obstacles like cats and broken bridges.

What's cool is how it mixes simple puzzles with little mini-games—one minute you're carefully jumping across rooftops, the next you're playing some weird carnival game to win a ticket west. The pixel art still holds up, especially the way they made New York feel huge when you're mouse-sized. Just don't expect it to hold your hand—this is an old-school adventure where you might get stuck trying to figure out what to do with that random button you picked up three screens back.

If you grew up with the movie or just love weird retro games with charm, this one's a surprisingly faithful adaptation that doesn't feel like a cheap cash-in.

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