WoodooProd,

@cyningstan

Second attempt at "Ossuary" for MSDOS!

It was going pretty well, but then I couldn't avoid that ambush in the 24th level dungeon. It's lost (7 HP only)! Inventory emptied of potions and other banishment scrolls.. Argh!!

The final boss is on level 25!
How sad? :0))

PS: I'm looking for similar games for MSDOS.

@WoodooProd So close! (final boss is on level 24)

WoodooProd,

@cyningstan

Yeah! So close..
These last levels are particularly difficult. And if you get stuck surrounded by enemies, it gets very complicated. You empty your inventory very quickly.

But I'll get it! :0))

Thanks for the game!
I'm looking for more like this one for MSDOS.What game, or games inspired you to dev this one?

@WoodooProd This one was originally designed for the 16k ZX Spectrum, hence the simplicity. It was inspired by various graphical and text-based roguelikes. The games I wrote later (available mostly from the same places as Ossuary) are scaled more to the IBM PC.

There's quite a bit of DOS development going on. You can find a lot of 21st century DOS games on the https://doshaven.eu/ web site if you have a taste for more.

@WoodooProd I have a couple of projects on at the moment. One super secret project, and one less secret (a DLC expansion for Barren Planet). An eye infection has halted development for now, but hopefully that'll be dealt with at some point.

WoodooProd,

@cyningstan

That's good! I'm looking forward to discover your new projects! In the meantime, I wish you a speedy and full recovery.

Thank you again. :0)

WoodooProd,

@cyningstan

Thanks for the details! That's very interesting. I will try all your games. On schedule. :0)

& Thank you so much for the link! It looks like a great one for new old games stuff on MSDOS. It's cool the dev scene is still coding these for antique OS..
