IMPORTANT:This game was released as freeware for U.S. based consumers by the United States Air Force. (wikipedia) This means that it won’t work for non-americans players. You can try to download it and run.. but it probably won’t work. You may need a “fix” file to run it outside U.S.A 😆
Area 51 is the only action-packed 1st person shooter set in the U.S. governments most secret and secure military facility. The U.S. Army has received a distress signal from Area 51 where a viral outbreak has just shut down the research facility and the automated quarantine procedures have locked all scientific and military personnel inside.
A small Special Forces unit led Specialist Ethan Cole of HAZMAT (hazardous materials) Division is sent to investigate. As Cole, players will delve into five massive levels within the confines of Area 51, discover a mutagenic side effect of the virus that controls the minds of those infected, as well as an ancient alien colony buried beneath the facility. With a multitude of human and alien weapons, players must explore chilling conspiracies such as the extraterrestrial crash at Roswell and the faked lunar landing, in order to solve the enigmas of Area 51 before the viral mutagen is released and irrevocably mutates all life on earth.

Midway's AREA 51
1.9 GiB - 2,075 downloads
Midway’s Area 51 is now available to download and play for FREE as an ad supported game. This is a full version with no time expiration sponsored by the US Air Force.
I just download this game, and already install, but when I click to play. a popup open and it write ” You need the internet connecting to support before play, check your connect again !”. I don’t known how to play it, because I also already connect my PC to the internet. any one help me?
Maybe it’s beacouse the game is for americans only.. try to download an ‘alternative’ .exe, the game should run without any internet connection required.
I see the file give this error. it is the html file, and it also include in the Full Spectrum Warrior game. It seem use for check link to server. But with game Full Spectrum Warrior I can play normal. So what the problem is ?
At VitoCatozzo (lol): i understand your suggestion and thanks for not putting any links 😉
At saobang: I really can’t say what’s wrong with Area 51 html file… You could check the comments on filefront.. http://files.filefront.com/Area+51+Sponsored+by+the+US+Air+Force/;11928815;/fileinfo.html but as vitoCatozzo suggested changing the .exe should fix the problem, which in the first place is beacouse the game is probably available only to americans.
I installed this Area 51 free game and I get
“Critical Softwrap Error”
can’t spawn unlocked child process, error #5
I have never bought any Midway games, guess it is a good thing since Full Spectrum Warrior did the same thing.

Sorry for any inconvinience, i can assure you i had no idea this games could cause damage in any form, i just run a site to deliver links, download and news about free games. I say thank to Midway for releasing some freegames but hey can’t they think of a better and easier way to deliver a banner-ad to our desktops.
Is there someone who downloaded one of this games from us and had no problem, at this point i wanna know, please be brave and write a comment. 😆
Hey guys if you want to download it with no problems go to bigdownload.com. Sorry firesword but i also tried this link and it sucked. But i only have one problem withthe bigdownload.com one, You must have an internet connection before you start the game. If any of you can help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

No problem but It’s very strange, beacouse the version hosted here is the exact same version… whatever sorry if i made you loose time, but i can assure i tested it before putting the file online. For the internet connection issue i have no idea if there is a workaround for that, maybe you should use a ‘special-fix’ (if you know what i mean) but i can’t (and is not allowed) to post that type of links here..
I see you are a uncle sam’s finest, i would salute you in a proper way but since i am just a civilian i just say: Cya. 😆
