Impressive how well MS-DOS games stood to the test of time. I still find them much more enjoyable than modern games.

Well, since the topic is relevant, a quick question to those who know their MS-DOS games well...

The other day, I was trying to remember an MS-DOS game in which you were a Pac-man like character that was eating chips on a motherboard or something. For some reason I recall the name of the game as “Yep” but nothing turned out when I searched for it. Any ideas?

Supaplex, maybe?

I got this game as part of some shareware compilation disc. One of the earliest games I remember playing! What an absolute banger of a game.

Yes, that’s the one!

Thank you so much!

If you're looking for a great Windows remake that keeps the original style, check out Megaplex. Apparently the original website is gone, but archive has it as well:

Supaplex is even on Steam, but probably not linked to the original creators, which have declared the game as freeware.

If you really want to play those games, I recommend you install Rocks and Diamonds, which implements Supaplex, Boulder Dash, Emerald Mine and Sokoban and even has some additional content. It's open source:

There are versions for Windows, Linux, Mac.
