Thanks for the heads up! Really amazing this is a Dos release and not a modern win one 😀

As far as I know, the source port is not exactly complete, or, at least, there were no compiled binaries last time I checked.

^that was a port by a fan, and that's right, there's been no public release of compiled binaries and I don't think it's been worked on in some time.

Also ,There is a steam version of xargon

^i am glad that this version exists, which I think reflects the hard work of a fan with the permission of the original dev, but I find that the gameplay feels pretty different from the original. For instance, when you jump in the original game, the character lands, kneels down and pauses for a bit to absorb the impact before you can then start running again. In the steam version, the character doesn't do this at all. Details like this were intentional in the original version and set Xargon (and Jill) apart from games with simpler player movement, like the original Duke Nukem. The new graphics are nice but also make the game look pretty different from the original in places.

Interesting, this is the first time I hear about this remake. Nice!
