Alligator Hunt Play Online 🪙 Arcade Games in Browser

Summary

Alligator Hunt rolls out of the mid‑90s arcade scene with a wild twist: skate‑boarding kids armed with cross‑hairs fend off reptilian alien alligators and their space‑faring minions. The game feels like a love letter to Cabal and Blood Bros, letting you aim at alien ships and stations from a fixed perspective while the action scrolls beneath you. Gaelco’s hardware quirks add a layer of nostalgia—under a plastic cover sits a battery whose death can erase part of the program, so long‑term storage is a gamble. DIP switches let operators choose between analog or classic 8‑way joystick control, giving each cabinet its own feel. Though only a handful of units ever left the factory, the title earned a warm nod from Carlos Forcada and, after Piko Interactive snapped up the rights in 2020, it’s slowly resurfacing among collectors who appreciate its off‑beat premise and retro charm.

Storyline

In Alligator Hunt, reptilian‑looking aliens launch an invasion of Earth. The only hope lies with a group of daring youngsters who ride skateboards, acting as the game’s soldiers. These skate‑boarding kids battle through the alien forces, aiming to halt the invasion. Their ultimate goal is to reach and destroy the enemy’s hidden base. The quirky premise blends arcade action with a tongue‑in‑cheek hero team.
