Very cool concept and presentation! I loved the old computer setup and the buttons on the side were a nice settings touch. The survival mini-game got pretty difficult as time went on and the normal mode was kinda easy. Pretty funny having the computer bluescreen when you lost! Remind me never to install Paladin Virus Hunter software.

curious one! At first sight I thought it would be kind of a strip poker hahaha
I loved it!

Arrrgh - wut? It has alll the elements I look for in a game: 286 aesthetics. Crunch chip tunes, busty cops, floating binary strings... but I didna get it! What was the antivirus thing? Gimme a hint - 'cause I'm sure I should be in love with this one ;)

Hey Mrspeaker,

So the game's presentation is very confusing, I realize that. It's mainly due to lack of time in creating the UI. Ha ha.

So you play the embodiment of a virus software, the Paladin Virus Hunter. Busty Cops II is the software that has been installed which just happened to contain a virus. You have 10 seconds to get rid of the virus before your pc bluescreens. Which tends to happen a lot.

Then inspiration came from my friend, who installed the drivers for his new graphics card and ended up bluescreening about 15 seconds into startup due to the driver software being ran. He had 15 seconds to uninstall the software. When the 10 second theme came up I thought, "Perfect." So I went with a more generic example of bluescreening that everyone should have a bit of experience in. Ha ha.

Very nice work! I loved your game. Your take on the theme was interesting and it was done pretty well. I have never had a "blue screen" but I think this was the perfect simulator. Hahah. Very nice visuals. I wish the computer monitor would have had rounded edges with transparency not just a play rect, oh well. Sound was great too. Catchy beat, but not irritatingly so. Keep it up! 8/10.

Cute game and nice presentation. It would be good to see more levels, powerups, and enemies.

Awesome game! Did not find out what I could shoot, but otherwise very fun and simple game.

It reminded me of the old days of monochrome and dos software installation.

Update; the day after I played this game I had my first blue screen of death ever. Then within 24 hours I had another one. I have been good for a solid three days now but YOU GIT DA DEVIL SINS BOY! YOU GOT 'EM. *wags finger*
