In 1997, I released my first (and, so far, only) computer game, **Camp Happy Island Massacre**, a comedy-horror text game for the DOS operating system. Originally written while I was still in college, the game is about a cursed summer camp and the 3 surviving counselors who try to stop a horrific force before it claims them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have a functional DOS machine (or an emulator, like [DOSBox](https://www.dosbox.com/)), you can download the game in a [ZIP file](/files/chim/chim.zip), which contains the following files:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
+ [`CHIM.EXE`](/files/chim/chim.exe) *(the main executable file)*
|
||
|
|
+ [`CHIM.FAQ`](/files/chim/chim.faq) *(list of frequently asked questions)*
|
||
|
|
+ [`FILE_ID.DIZ`](/files/chim/file_id.diz) *(ZIP file descriptor)*
|
||
|
|
+ [`INTRO.TXT`](/files/chim/intro.txt) *(the intro screen)*
|
||
|
|
+ [`LICENSE.TXT`](/files/chim/license.txt) *(the distribution license)*
|
||
|
|
+ [`MAP.TXT`](/files/chim/map.txt) *(a text map of the island)*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And now, thanks to [DOSBox](https://www.dosbox.com/), [Emscripten](http://emscripten.org/), and their unholy lovechild, [JS-DOS](https://js-dos.com/), you can play **Camp Happy Island Massacre** in your browser:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<div id="jsChimDb"></div>
|
||
|
|
<button class="btnFullscreen" onclick="chim_db.requestFullScreen();">Open in Fullscreen</button>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<script type="text/javascript" src="./js-dos-api.js"></script>
|
||
|
|
<script type="text/javascript">
|
||
|
|
var chim_db = new Dosbox({
|
||
|
|
id: "jsChimDb",
|
||
|
|
onload: function (chim_db) {
|
||
|
|
chim_db.run("/chim/chim-exe.zip", "./CHIM.EXE");
|
||
|
|
},
|
||
|
|
onrun: function (chim_db, app) {
|
||
|
|
console.log("App '" + app + "' is running!");
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
});
|

|
|
</script>
