Play Terminal Terror Online

Terminal Terror came out in 1994 as part of the MS-DOS Classic Games series, developed by Pie in the Sky Software. It was a time when PC games were pushing into new genres, experimenting with ideas that would later become more polished. This one tried its hand at stealth, a concept still finding its feet outside of a few notable titles.

You control Nick Hunter, a special forces operative infiltrating a terrorist-held airbase. The goal is to rescue hostages while avoiding or eliminating guards. Movement is screen by screen, with a top-down perspective that limits your view and forces careful planning. You can use a variety of weapons, but ammo is scarce, encouraging stealth over confrontation. The enemy AI is surprisingly alert, making each room a tense puzzle of timing and observation. It feels clunky by modern standards, but the constant tension and strategic demands give it a raw, engaging edge.

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