Play Evasive Action Online

Evasive Action is one of those MS-DOS games that looks simple until you're three seconds in and already sweating. You're a single fighter jet against what feels like the entire air force, weaving through missile trails and enemy fire that just never lets up. The controls are razor-sharp—no clunky movement here—but that almost makes it harder because you’ve got no excuses when you crash and burn.

It’s got that classic ‘90s arcade vibe where the pixels are chunky and the difficulty is brutal, but somehow you keep hitting "retry." The sound effects alone—those screeching missiles and engine roars—will have you leaning into turns like you’re actually in the cockpit. If you miss games where skill mattered more than flashy cutscenes, this one’s a time capsule of pure, unfiltered chaos. Just don’t blame me when you lose track of an hour trying to beat your high score.

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