This is another game that will work on the 808x mini laptops, which interestingly there's been a mostly long string of the last few times, which is interesting in itself! Even on such limited hardware with similarity limited options if you consider the number of DOS games out there, there are probably some games you wouldn't want to play, unless you are a masochist, morbidly curious, wanting to do it for a video or stream, or any combination of the three! As for comparing it to Tommy's Toys... Yikes, that's quite an accomplishment, though not one to brag about!
How did this get released if there was any semblance of playtesting... It looks like the character should move way slower for this to work at all. But there isn't even a scoreboard or anything! And starting on Room 2... Comically bad. B. deForest might be the Tommy Wisseau of DOS games.
2:07 You know things are dire indeed when Lawnie compares a game unfavorably to Tommy's Toys! This might be the first game in the series where you spent more time waiting for the game to load than actually playing it! I'd be more charitable if this was a very early DOS game from 1981 or something, but standards had risen significantly by 1988, even by indie "bedroom programmer" standards.

I am not mildly perturbed by these appreciable snakes in this everloving game.
Enough is enough!

You might need to turn off the turbo on this one to get it to 4.77 MHz speeds
Seems like you have had a rash of some highly speed sensitive games. Is there a way to slow these games down even more with emulation?
Generally I'm going with whatever default config eXo and his team supply, but they can't cover all 7000+ perfectly it seems.
Let this sink in Lawnie....
The Donkey game you played yesterday was better.
Donkeys are better than snakes, confirmed.

People were talking about lowering the cycles count, but that still wouldn't fix the loading times. It would probably make them even worse...
