Man what an absolute classic! This, 3-demon, Pitfall, sopwith camel, there was another I can't get the name, something cat where you chased cards and around a maze or something....I think you were on a bicycle.
I have vague memories from my childhood of one time seeing a game with octagons moving around a maze and another octagon with legs that turned into a thing with a deformed mouth (I thought that the twitching legs in the death animation was a mouth) but I never knew the name of it.
old pc game usually misure time and speed of an event starting from the frequency of the cpu. when faster cpus came out like the 80386 old games and applications starts to run very quickly this is why on 386 and 486 machines you can find a turbo button, that button slow down the cpu in order to avoid speed problem. On wich computer di you play this game?
i don't remember how but in dosbox you can simulate a downclock slowing down the speed of... something :) i don't remember too much about this game so i can't help you more, sorry. but on the dosbox guide you can find somethings about it.

Boy did I play this game to death as a teenager. Thanks for the memories!
You are a fantastic Pango player.
I played this in the 80s on an IBM 086 XT, 640k Memory, came on a 360k floppy. Running at a blistering 4.77 MHz
WOW i remember this - and you are really good at this
yea, i remember it's my first game !
Oh my God, I had totally forgotten about this game!!!!

The first game I had for my first PC, at first I didn't know that the stage ended if you killed both bees before a new one appeared.
i remember playing in in 1990 - where can you find this now days ????
Digger was actually the first game I ever played.
it is not digger, it is just CGA red-green palette, typical for all games of that era
Me too. On a 5 3/4" floppy that contained at least 5 other arcade game clones of varying quality.
This is lidian scale? Love this music.
How did you get it to go so slow? I remember it going really fast even back in the day
I played this game 286/8mhz in year 1989 maybe? good game! and monitor was black & white screen ... or maybe some sort of green colors?

Just use DOSBox & slow/speed it up using CTRL F11/F12.
I'm not 100% sure, but it was definitely pre 386, probably a 286. I tried running it in DOSbox, and it was still very fast.
This was 286 days. We had a 14 MHz running this game. Loved it.
Playing fast = Level "Benny Hill".
@minute4 I'm with you. Does anyone know where to play this game online or have a link to a downloadable version that doesn't execute at hyperspeed?

Thanks! great Nostalgia ;-)
@joshblaize I played this on our family Tandy too! Have you been able to find a Pango, on or offline, that runs at a playable speed?
Just use Dosbox.
Can you send the game to me as soon as possible? I just need to install it on my Windows 7.
Thanks!
3:30 easter egg, yeah!
lol this is awesome
