DownloadThe game was created in the last century, more specically in the year 1998, making it a true FIN classic with stunning color graphics in true 320x200 personal computer resolution. This however means, that to run this gem, you will probably need an emulator with ms-dos such as DosBox to succesfully play it.
If my memory serves me correctly, Borland C3.1 was used as the C compiler, which means that the game is a 16-bit MS-DOS game. Some routines (background parallax scrolling) were written direclty in machine language for performance, therefore it cannot be compiled for higher bit architectures with ease. The .zip file contains the C source code. Files with the .dmd extensions are .bmp files stripped of all header and metadata and compressed with a homebrewn run-lenght compression routine, in order to be able to fit the game on one floppy disk (if unnecessary files are removed in addition to that). The size limitation of one floppy disk was imposed because the game was intended for the Discover Game Competition, where one of the rules stipulated that the game must fit into a single floppy disk.

Why don't programmers like nature?
Because it has too many bugs and too little documentation!
