The game runs in a DOS emulator: keyboard and mouse work like on an old PC, each game has its own layout (see the hints in the game). There are no on-screen buttons on a phone.

First click the game screen once: after that the keys go to the game, not the page. To scroll the page again, click outside the game window. If the game does not respond, click the game screen again.

The game runs from the Internet Archive site in their emulator; there are no game files on our servers. We show it so you can get to know it; the rights to the game belong to the rights holders. The built-in player has no volume control: if there is no sound or you need to adjust it, open the game page on Internet Archive, which has sound and full-screen buttons.

Description

Worthy Opponent aims to provide just that, dispensing with the problems of computer AI and instead serving up a collection of a dozen low-bandwidth mini-games designed for competitive two-player challenge, some turn-based, some simultaneously, through direct computer connection via modem.

Its ANSI textmode graphical display allows low latency through the internal terminal software (which also permits during-play chat and taunting) even on the relatively slow modems of its era, the late '80s. The mini-games included in version 1.9 were: SnakePit, a game in the Nibbles vein; CornerStone; Quinte (or, for those of you with poor imaginations, "Connect 5" on a 19x19 grid); ArmyAnts; Checkers, as per the board game classic; Backgammon, a parlour staple; MissileStrike; LazerMaze; and CannonBall Express; Three additional games were added as of version 2.0: CaveIn; TreasureQuest; and Miniature Golf.
