Monsterland by Leonid Shevtsov
Launch game
A game I made as a teenager a very long time ago.
First written in Borland Pascal for MS-DOS and featuring crisp VGA 4-bit vector graphics, released for the smartphone age thanks to DOSBox and Emscripten.
The game you see is actually a MS-DOS executable, running in a DOSBox emulator, running in the browser as a WASM program. Ah, the magic of today's software!
I added an on-screen keyboard so anyone can play on any device. Hardware keyboard works too (the on-screen keyboard actually emulates it.)
Landscape mode highly recommended.
If anything goes wrong, please just reload the page.
