About the game

Written almost entirely in assembly by one person, Alessandro Ghignola, and given away for free.

How this runs

The game runs through a DOS emulator inside your browser: the emulator, the files and your saves all stay on your device and nothing reaches our server. The emulator, the licensing and what to do about a black screen are explained on the retro games section page.

FAQ

How big is it and what loads?

The game archive is 1.7 MB plus about two megabytes of emulator. It loads once — after that the browser keeps the files cached and the next launch is instant.

Can I play on a phone?

Yes. The game uses a mouse, so on a phone your finger is the cursor: drag to move it, tap to click.

Are my saves kept?

They are, but only in this browser on this device — they are written inside the emulator. A different browser or a cleared cache means starting over.
