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

An American Tail: The Computer Adventures of Fievel and His Friends came out in 1993 for MS-DOS, published by Capstone Software. It was one of those side-scrolling platformers that felt right at home in the era of floppy disks and VGA graphics, a time when licensed games often tried to capture the spirit of their source material through exploration and simple puzzles.

You control Fievel as he navigates a bustling, multi-screen version of New York City, jumping across rooftops and avoiding enemies like cats and rats. The main goal involves finding your family by exploring environments, talking to other characters, and gathering items that help you progress. Signature mechanics include screen-by-screen navigation, light inventory puzzles, and occasional mini-games that break up the platforming. The pacing is deliberate, with some trial and error in figuring out where to go next, and the difficulty feels fair for its intended younger audience. Playing it gives you the sense of being a small mouse in a big, sometimes dangerous world.

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