ASCII Retro Games
These games were inspired by 1980's arcade machines and run on almost any DOS (or Windows) PC. They were written in Pascal and use special "medium resolution" ASCII graphics, a technique also known from ancient computers like e.g. the ZX81. The games also feature cool PC-speaker sounds.
