Play Tintin on the Moon Online
You're Tintin piloting a rocket in first-person, dodging asteroids while crewmates panic—then it switches to side-scrolling as you fix sabotage mid-flight. Somehow this weird 1989 mashup just clicks once you wrestle with the controls.
I first played Tintin on the Moon back in 1989 on MS-DOS, a game developed and published by Infogrames. It was a time when adventure games were often ambitious, sometimes awkward, and this one fit right in. Based on the Tintin comics, it tried to capture the spirit of space exploration with the limited tech of the era, and it had a certain charm despite its quirks.
You control Tintin through a mix of first-person and side-scrolling sequences. The main goal is to safely reach the moon and return, dealing with problems like asteroid fields and onboard sabotage. Key mechanics include navigating the rocket in a first-person view, avoiding obstacles, and then switching to a platforming style to repair damaged systems or help your crew. The pacing is uneven, with tense action segments followed by slower exploration, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly. It feels like a rough but earnest attempt to turn a comic adventure into something interactive.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
