DOS GAMES
Well ... here are my DOS games. Many hours of love and hate have gone into their creation. All the files can be downloaded by clicking on the titles. The files are in ".ZIP" format. You must have an unzipping program (such as PKZIP) to extract the files. I recommend you create an empty directory in which to store the unzipped files.
LOBBING ROBOTS
Futuristic battle game in which round robots shoot spiked cannonballs at each other across a forbidding landscape. Similar in spirit to the board game Monopoly (in both games, players alternate turns and develop a distinct dislike for one another - otherwise, not really similar - I don't want to mislead you). Inspired by Kazuo Ishiguro's excellent novel The Remains of the Day.
WARRING PLANETS
Futuristic space battle game in which evil alien overlords commandeer Earth and Mars for their vicious "sport" of interplanetary war. Also similar to Monopoly (except players don't alternate turns).
LIGHTS OFF! V3.0
Futuristic puzzle game based loosely on Tiger Electronics' wildly popular handheld Lights Out! game.
LIGHTS OFF! 6X6
Ultrafutuistic, 36 BUTTON, version of Lights Off!
CONNECT 4
Two player only version of the classic family game.
CONWAY'S LIFE
Futuristic, if flawed, version of Conway's ancient computer past time. Create your own fantastic colonies, or enjoy the several included starting patterns. Even more presaved starting patterns available too!
NUMBER RING
Futuristic version of handheld puzzle found in author's dentist's office. If you can solve this puzzle, then you can apply for your dentist's license (do dentists have licenses?).
CROSSWORD TOOL
Customizable anagram and word matching tool for solving those pesky cryptic crossword puzzles. It's not really cheating because it's not that much help.
Special thanks to frequent visitor and occasional contributor, the eminent scientist Marco de la Cruz, who suggested putting screen shots of the DOS Games (and centring them on the screen). Says de la Cruz: "This ranks amongst the greatest of my [several] achievements!"
