Here's a cool game - download it!

I never would have thought that such an old game could be so much fun. The game in question is called Supaplex, and I believe it was first made sometime around 1993. Since then, it has undergone several fixes and updates, and it now even has its own site. I've known about the game for a long time, but around 2000 it became too old for my newer computer, and I forgot about it until recently when I discovered it was downloadable for free.

If you enjoy puzzle games, I'm sure you'll like Supaplex. It involves maneuvering a smiling orange head called Murphy while collecting a fixed amount of "infotrons" that are needed to finish a level. Various obstacles try to stop you from doing so, such as hungry scissors, falling stones, and exploding bombs. Some levels require you to think as you try to keep the stones from blocking your path, while other levels are more action-packed.

Well, enough writing. You can download the game here (for free):

Once you become more familiar with the game, you can download additional levels from the site along with a level editor that allows you to create your own levels. Once again, here is the site:

Trust me, the game is worth getting- the original 111 levels are very challenging and will keep you occupied for a while!
