About this game

Alien Rampage is a side-scrolling action game by Inner Circle Creations. Its large alien hero moves through layered forest and industrial scenery, with platforms, drops and enemies interrupting the route. The HUD keeps health and ammunition visible as you move and fire.

The original keyboard configuration assigns Ctrl to jump and Alt to shoot. Left and Right move the character, Tab cycles weapons, and Backspace pauses. Enter confirms the episode and difficulty selections. Wait for the opening drop into the level to finish before testing a jump from the ground.

This page runs the 1.00 shareware release published by Softdisk in 1996. The original DOS installer supplies the game files; the original keyboard settings and Sound Blaster setup are retained. The complete source archive and distribution license are included unchanged. This is the shareware selection, not a claim to include the full retail game.
