Play Buzzard Bait Online
You barrel-roll through narrow canyons, dodging rocks just to smack a buzzard with your wing—until the canyon wins and you explode in a pixelated fireball. Pure DOS-era stupid joy.
Buzzard Bait came out in 1983 as part of the MS-DOS Classic Games collection, developed by Sirius Software. It was one of those early PC titles that didn't try to be epic, just straightforward and challenging in the way games from that period often were. You got what you paid for: a simple concept executed with the limited graphics and sound of the time.
You pilot a small biplane through a side-scrolling canyon, constantly maneuvering to avoid walls and incoming rocks. The goal is to shoot down enemy buzzards while collecting fuel cans to stay airborne. The controls are responsive but unforgiving; one wrong move sends you crashing. It's a tense, fast-paced game that demands quick reflexes and careful navigation. Playing it feels like a constant, satisfying battle against the environment itself.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
