Play Attack Animal Gakuen (Japan) [En by PentarouZero v1.0] (~Attack Animal Academy) Online

Attack Animal Gakuen is one of those weird, forgotten NES gems that never made it outside Japan. You're basically running and gunning through these surreal animal-themed levels, dodging attacks that come at you from all angles—kinda like Space Harrier but with way more cartoonish chaos. The Z-axis movement makes everything feel a little disorienting at first, but once you get the hang of it, blasting away at enemy critters becomes oddly satisfying.

It’s got that classic 1987 jank—some hit detection issues here and there, and the controls take a minute to click—but there’s charm in the weirdness. The animal enemies range from goofy to downright bizarre, and the music has that unmistakable NES-era synth energy. Definitely a niche pick, but if you’re into obscure retro shooters, this one’s worth a look.
