Play Tail 'Gator Online

Summary

Tail 'Gator lets you control a tiny alligator named Charly, whose signature move is a forward‑swung tail that doubles as a melee attack and, when powered up, a short‑range projectile. The game is divided into five distinct areas, each packed with themed sections—air, land, cave, underwater, and finally Basso Gila’s castle—where you must clear four (or three) levels by opening treasure chests; the last chest always yields the key to the next stage. Power‑ups are scattered throughout: hearts restore health, Power fills a meter that triggers the projectile tail, and the rare Super Power maxes the timer, while Bombs clear the screen for a points boost and Bonus items raise your score multiplier as long as you stay unharmed. Each area culminates in a quirky boss, from a leaping frog that hurls balls to an otter that clubs rocks into star‑shaped shots, ending with the stationary Basso Gila who fires a fireball that splits on impact. The blend of hidden rooms, respawning enemies, and tight score incentives gives this 1991 Game Boy title a surprisingly deep replay value.
