Play Aaargh! Online

AAARGH! is an action game released in 1988 for the MS-DOS platform. Developed by Binary Design, Ltd. and published by Arcadia Systems, Inc., the game presents a side view perspective. Its design draws influence from arcade style monster destruction games, casting the player as one of two large creatures.

Players control either an ogre or a dragon, each exploring an island with the objective of locating a special egg said to grant super powers. The primary activity involves moving through the environment and demolishing buildings to find the correct structure housing the egg. The ogre uses its horn to attack, while the dragon utilizes its tail. Humans encountered on the island operate catapults that can damage the player's creature, so they must also be dealt with. Food items are scattered throughout the stages to restore the player character's energy.

Once the egg is found, the game shifts to a one on one fighting sequence against the rival creature. Victory in this combat phase is required to progress. The overall goal is to win five of these consecutive battles to complete the game, cycling between the exploration and destruction of the island stages and the direct confrontations.
