// Classic DOS, Win16 & Win32 Games ¡ Rebuilt for the Web

These are games I originally wrote from the DOS/Turbo Pascal era through the Win32/Delphi era — running on everything from DOS prompts to Windows NT, 95, XP, 2000, you name it. Chunky dialogs, raw GDI graphics, text-mode screens, and all the charm of a beige tower PC.

Now, powered by Gemini CLI and Claude Code, each title has been faithfully re-engineered to run natively in your browser. No plugins. No emulation. Just the games, reborn.

📖 The Story

Starting in the early '90s with DOS and Turbo Pascal, through the Windows NT, 2000, 9x/XP era with Delphi and the raw Win32 API — no frameworks, no engines, just VCL/RTL, pure Win32 code, and text-mode DOS graphics. They ran great on anything from a 386 to a Pentium III.


Decades later, I decided to bring them back to life. Using mostly AI tools, I ported each game to run natively in the browser — preserving the original gameplay and spirit while embracing modern web tech.


All games hosted in this gallery written primarily by Kostas Symeonidis, with some help from his students and friends.

🛠ī¸ Tech Stack

Each game is ported individually, using the best web tech for the job:


  • Original: DOS Turbo Pascal, Win32 Delphi, VCL/RTL
  • Canvas API for pixel-accurate rendering
  • Vanilla JS / JavaScript — no heavy frameworks
  • Pointer/Keyboard events for input

HTML5 Canvas JavaScript CSS3

Tools:

IntelliJ Idea Claude Code Gemini CLI

🤖 AI's Role

Tools like Claude Code and Gemini CLI handled the heavy lifting of translation — understanding the original DOS text-mode screens, Win32 message loops, GDI drawing calls, and game logic, then re-expressing them as clean, idiomatic web code. What once took weeks of manual porting now takes hours.
