Alligator Hunt is a fast-paced 1994 arcade gallery shooter developed by Gaelco. In this spiritual successor to games like Cabal and Blood Bros., you take control of skateboard-riding heroes defending Earth from an invading army of reptilian aliens. The action is frantic and non-stop, requiring you to simultaneously manage your character’s positioning while aiming your crosshairs to blast enemies and incoming projectiles.
How to play
The objective is to clear each stage of alien invaders, culminating in a boss fight, without losing all your lives. Typical arcade browser controls apply:
- Arrow Keys: Move your character and aim the crosshair.
- Z: Fire your weapon.
- X: Launch a powerful missile to clear the screen or damage bosses.
- Shift: Insert Coin.
- Enter: Start Game.
Tips
- Always keep moving. Standing still makes you a sitting duck for enemy fire; weave back and forth to stay safe while returning fire.
- You can shoot down many enemy projectiles. If a slow-moving energy blast is heading your way, prioritize destroying it.
- Save your missiles for tight situations or bosses. Using one grants a brief moment of invincibility which can save your life when trapped.
