Wild Snake Boa II - a snake game for MS-DOS
Wild Snake Boa II
If you download this game it plays much better in regular dosbox than in this html5 player. :/
It is maybe not the most impressive job (especially if you just look at screenshots without trying to play for a while) but i have made it directly in assembly, it is a single com file and it fits even 16kB not only 64kB. Please give a chance for this game. :)
The game includes 10 playable levels, unlocking levels, hiscore table, random placement of power ups, simple music and sound effects on pc-speaker, it saves all its data inside its own com file, and like i have written above it runs much better in dosbox than in js-dos here.
Maybe i have made some mistake in setting up js-dos bundle and that is why it works so jaggy here. But I think I should anyway provide html5 version for people who wants to just try it for one time. Sorry for inconvenience.

The game saves its hiscores by overwritting its own SNAKEBOA.COM file. The COM file is the only one file you need to play but you cannot rename it because then it will not save its data.
