GWBASIC-GAME

ABOUT THIS GAME

This is a game I created for fun to participate in the RETRO GAME DEV contest organized by ESPACIO TEC an argentinian digital archeology museum.

IMPORTANT!

If you want to open TA.BAS in a text editor do not change it's encoding when doing so, otherwise spanish special characters will be broken when you execute it using DOSBOX. In VSCODE the correct encoding is cp850.

HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME

In order to play this game you have to download an install DOSBOX for MS-DOS emulation.
