Oh wow! I remember playing this as a kid! Thanks for posting this!

So many hours on my IBM PC jr playing this. Thanks for the rush of nostalgia.

I still have the phrase:

    Mission Completeorcycle

...burned into my subconscious.

The intro song blaring from from the “PC speaker” (any volume you want, as long as it’s MAX) is what’s burned into mine. This was on a pair of old computers running DOS at a Boys and Girls Club summer program I went to in the late 90’s.

Great! I wanted to play it for a long time. Searched online a bit ago, there was nothing. Thought it’s lost to time already.

I hope I’ll do better than when I was a kid

Not too long ago, archive.org put out a dos games library. This was the first game I looked for. I just looked again and they've got a nice interface for the library now! And, much to my delight, I just found an old fave

It ain't much, but we only had the games my dad brought home from work back in those days. But I've been looking for this darn game for decades and couldn't remember the name. Guess it's high time to donate to the archive.

Me too! On my Tandy 1000 iirc.

Me too on my 286!
