Impressive how well MS-DOS games stood to the test of time. I still find them much more enjoyable than modern games.
Well, since the topic is relevant, a quick question to those who know their MS-DOS games well...
The other day, I was trying to remember an MS-DOS game in which you were a Pac-man like character that was eating chips on a motherboard or something. For some reason I recall the name of the game as “Yep” but nothing turned out when I searched for it. Any ideas?
- salicideblock 7y agoSupaplex, maybe?
- merty 7y agoYes, that’s the one! Thank you so much!
- Macuyiko 7y agoIf you're looking for a great Windows remake that keeps the original style, check out Megaplex. Apparently the original website is gone, but archive has it as well: https://archive.org/details/MegaPlex_1020 https://archive.org/details/MegaPlex_1020 Supaplex is even on Steam, but probably not linked to the original creators, which have declared the game as freeware.
- babuskov 7y agoIf you really want to play those games, I recommend you install Rocks and Diamonds, which implements Supaplex, Boulder Dash, Emerald Mine and Sokoban and even has some additional content. It's open source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocks%27n%27Diamonds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocks%27n%27Diamonds There are versions for Windows, Linux, Mac.
