Supplicant - A DOS Text Adventure

The Gist

It's inevitable that old PC hardware eventually dies. I decided to develop a game using an old 33Mhz 486DX PC using tools from back in the day. One day DOS game development might die along with the hardware, but today is not that day.

The Game

Go on a quest to make an offering at the sun god's abandoned temple to postpone the encroaching Long Night in a short text adventure for DOS.

The Tools

Gateway 2000 4DX-33 PC,
MS-DOS 5.0,
Borland Turbo C++ 3.0

How to Play

Download and double click DOSbox.exe. Or transfer LD50.EXE to a real PC running MS-DOS (and let me know how well it works).

Movement: n, s, e, w for north, south, east, west respectively

Commands: look thing, take thing, use thing, help, quit

You can only 'use' items in your inventory.
