These games were written in FoxPro as I found FoxPro very interesting those days. I used to develop financial apps in FoxPro and I still believe that it was a good development platform albeit not suitable for game development but anyways these two were simple text based games. I just downloaded the binaries and they still work but via &#8216;DOSBox&#8217; which is a Dos emulator shell for newer windows version.<\/p>\n<p>I developed these games to basically promote the services of the company for which I did freelancing. I figured that with some free games floating around people would find out about this company. Actually the plan failed miserably as I don&#8217;t think we made any new contact that way. But the games still work and it feels nice to see them operating after all these years. I would have loved to tweak around the source code if I still had it \ud83d\ude41 but those were the days when I had still not learnt anything about Version Control and Backups.<\/p>\n<p>I still remember the pride with which I included my name &#8216;Abhinav Anand&#8217; in these game titles. I loved putting my name in everything I did and I still feel that branding is important for your work.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_307\" style=\"width: 549px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cyberaka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014-05-02_134236.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-307\" class=\" wp-image-307\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cyberaka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014-05-02_134236.png\" alt=\"Splash Screen for Tetris\" width=\"539\" height=\"357\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-307\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Splash Screen for Tetris<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_304\" style=\"width: 561px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cyberaka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014-05-02_134448.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-304\" class=\" wp-image-304\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cyberaka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014-05-02_134448.png\" alt=\"Game Screen of Tetris\" width=\"551\" height=\"365\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-304\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Game Screen of Tetris<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_305\" style=\"width: 557px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cyberaka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014-05-02_134459.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-305\" class=\" wp-image-305\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cyberaka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014-05-02_134459.png\" alt=\"Congratulations Screen of Tetris\" width=\"547\" height=\"363\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-305\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Congratulations Screen of Tetris<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_306\" style=\"width: 558px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cyberaka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014-05-02_134530.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-306\" class=\" wp-image-306\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cyberaka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014-05-02_134530.png\" alt=\"Puzzle Game Screen\" width=\"548\" height=\"363\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-306\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Puzzle Game Screen<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had been digging in my email account for some reasons and voila I found the binaries of two games I developed around year 2000.
