Game Overview

Quatra Command is one of those MS-DOS games that somehow flew under the radar but absolutely shouldn’t have. You’re piloting this nimble little starship through waves of enemies, and at first it feels like a classic arcade shooter—until you realize you can’t just brute-force your way through. The AI actually flanks you, and if you don’t plan your dodges or time your power-ups right, you’re toast.

The pixel art holds up surprisingly well, especially when you pull off a slick maneuver and watch three enemy ships collide in a satisfying explosion. And yeah, the difficulty spikes hard around level 5, but in that good way where you start muttering "okay, one more run" at 2 AM. If you’ve got a soft spot for tactical space shooters, this one’s a time capsule worth cracking open.

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