Alien Assault is the arcade classic distilled to its most nerve-wracking essence: a grid of aliens shuffling side to side, dropping a row lower every time they hit the edge, and you pinned to the bottom with a single cannon and three flimsy bunkers. Rows of aliens are creeping down toward Earth, and you're the last line.
Some games earn their fame. Munch every pellet in the maze while four clever ghosts hunt you down.
If you want rows of aliens are creeping down toward earth, and you're the last line, pick Alien Assault. If you'd rather munch every pellet in the maze while four clever ghosts hunt you down, go for Maze Muncher. Both are free and load instantly, so the honest answer is: play both.
Neither is strictly better — they suit different moods. Alien Assault (rows of aliens are creeping down toward earth, and you're the last line.…) versus Maze Muncher. Both are free, so try each and keep your favourite.
Yes — both are completely free to play online here, with no download and no sign-up.
