| Camp Happy Island Massacre | Eric's first (and only) computer game, a comedy-horror text game for the DOS operating system. | 2018-10-10T19:07:00-04:00 | CC0 | games | chim | feature |
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), you can download the game in a ZIP file, which contains the following files:
CHIM.EXE(the main executable file)CHIM.FAQ(list of frequently asked questions)FILE_ID.DIZ(ZIP file descriptor)INTRO.TXT(the intro screen)LICENSE.TXT(the distribution license)MAP.TXT(a text map of the island)
And now, thanks to DOSBox, Emscripten, and their unholy lovechild, JS-DOS, you can play Camp Happy Island Massacre in your browser:
Open in Fullscreen <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>
