It's time for some very early Christmas news, as if you have an old PC at hand or an emulator installed such as DOSBox, you might like to play this fun for all the family game of Crimbo by Blackjet. An unofficial ZX Spectrum to DOS conversion of the game "Crimbo" by Little Shop of Pixles. A game that was also released some time back for the Commodore Amiga by Spud. To coincide with this news that's been sent to us by Liqmatrix, you can either download the game below or wait for the latest footage provided by Saberman.
In brief here's the latest from the developer about Crimbo. "So, I'm not a assembler or c/c++ guru in the slightest, but I was keen to make a DOS game. After searching high and low for a tool that would meet my needs, I found an API called LoveDOS https://github.com/rxi/lovedos/tree/master which is a limited API based on Love2d. Now, I've never used Lua/Love2d before, so this is my first game using it and because I was learning as I went, I did hit some limitations with the API and my understanding of how things work, as well as keeping it playable on a real 486 (which I have). You can download the file directly from our website http://bitkeeper.co.uk/downloads/crimboDOS.zip or if you don't trust that link, just visit the website http://blackjet.co.uk/ and find it under "Crimbo".
