Hello DIV-friends and fellow nostalgiacs. I'm happy to share with you a long considered lost relic that surely made my childhood even more enjoyable than it already was. After spending quite some time - days! - digging through the Internet Wayback Machine I finally found enough leads to get in touch with mister Mark Potter, the creator of The Mad Scientist Game. He was so kind to dig up his old computer, which was quite a hassle, but in the end he succeeded and the result can be downloaded below. The zip file contains an installation executable which has to be run in DosBox. Installation is a breeze. The game itself works perfectly in DosBox. Many thanks go out to Mark Potter - full credits to him as the original author and all-round cool guy. He's even considering updating the code to improve some issues. Let me know if you ever played this gem and share your experiences below! Cheers, Herr Flick ========================================= AS DESCRIBED IN THE UPLOAD SECTION THE MAD SCIENTIST GAME By MARK POTTER Dug up from the archives - with kind permission of the author - is presented here: The Mad Scientist Game ("BADMAD"). Originally posted on div-arena.com on January 11, 2001. Link: https://web.archive.org/web/20 … &table=wips Original description: "1-4 player head to head (computer AI players included). Gather parts to make inventions (death rays, robotic henchmen etc.) to destroy your rivals. 20 unique inventions, including the fearsome Cow Teleporter Ray!" Being a retro kill-'m-all, with cartoonish 2D graphics, the game is best played on hot-seat, since the AI is not so advanced. Then again, being very fast paced, the game lends itself perfectly for a quick pastime. Installation and playing require DosBox. Platforms that support DosBox should have no problem executing the file. Have fun!

That is very nice. I wish I still could dig up my old code, unfortunately the disk crashed ages ago and is long gone... ____________ Kwakkel |
