Play Alien Olympics Online

Alien Olympics is a sports video game released in 1994 for the MS-DOS platform. Developed by Dark Technologies and published by Mindscape, Inc., it presents a fictional Olympiad competition featuring extraterrestrial characters. The game is viewed from a third-person perspective and combines elements of track and field with arcade-style mechanics.

Players select one of eight unique alien characters to control, each with distinct physical attributes that influence performance in different events. For instance, a caterpillar-like character named Mr. Mune possesses multiple legs, which provides an advantage in shooting events but hinders performance in races. The primary objective is to compete across a series of 15 varied athletic events, which can be played in a selected custom set or as a complete tournament. Players have the option to practice events individually to learn their mechanics before entering formal competition.

Gameplay involves mastering the controls for each specific event, which range from running and jumping to target-based challenges. Progression is structured around achieving high scores or best times to defeat opponents, who can be either computer-controlled aliens or a second player using a shared keyboard. The experience focuses on the direct execution of event-specific actions, with the differing abilities of each alien character adding a strategic layer to character selection and event strategy.
