Loved it. Picking up the old dos is always so nostalgic.
How to run it? Have Windows 8.1 and it says that this is not for my computer.
Can't test on my laptop because it requires 64-bit
Oh my god. Loved it. Awesome graphics for a DOS game!
nice one made me feel a teen again.
Great for a DOS game. I actually got DOSBox a while back so I could play ZZT but this is way better xD
@frondeus Run it in DOSBox just like you would play an old DOS game. While Windows will sort of pretend like it might be able to run it -- because at one time it could still run these old DOS games directly -- it won't work that way on any modern system.
love the use of a (now) uncommon format, well done
Nice retro game.
Whoa, a DOS game! Damn, this is fantastic! It took me a few tries to understand what the heck was going on, and the mouse controls is not exactly great. Sadly I didn't had a gamepad to test it with...
Man, if this was a thing back in the DOS age it would be so damn popular. Well done! My record was 6350 :D
Nice retro style game. Really enjoyed it :)
Fuck yes, DOS! Nostalgia trip right there, kudos to you!
DOSBox - neat idea. Didnt quite feel like I was getting hit/dying from the enemy bullets, but that DOSBox. Back in the days when there were no Windows, and all you had was one screen. Who woulda thunk it.
Ok. I got it... great work dude! :)
Awesome, love it! Great you are developed this in DOS! I've taken a look into the sourcecode, nicely done.
Haha, I've been tinkering around with DOS code (in Turbo-C) lately and also considered doing a DOS game for the LD. The theme is a good fit for that. Nice little game, and always a feat when you don't have a modern easy-to-use engine to work with :)
Very nice, and genuinely retro.
This is a very great game! I had a lot of fun playing this and I loved the retro graphics and audio (which I attempted to reproduce in my game with less success). The hardest part about the game was that if you're aiming at an enemy, that also means you're moving toward them... That led to some interesting strategies though!
Super fun. I've never played a dos game and that was really cool.
Argh! I didn't rate this because I'm not OK with installing stuff on my machine for the purposes of rating LD entries. I can't be the only person who feels this way. Maybe you could bundle it with the DOS Box emulator and distribute it as a zip? This article seems to indicate that's possible to do? http://polishlinux.org/apps/dosbox-part-ii-autonomous-dos-programs-for-windows-or-mac/
didnt recognize my gamepad :(
Love playing games codes for DOS in 2014. Amazing job1
thanks for that blast from the past
Awesome :D
Fun little game, well done.
It says mouse input is supported, but if I run the game (using DOSBox) I get 'Move joystick around its full range, then center joystick and press button A'?
DOS powa ++
There is no school like the old school!
