Akintes

DOSGames.com Review:  Rating: 1
Akintes is an interesting tech demo of a tank-based action game. It seems like it was released mainly to attempt to sell copies of the source code for the "game" for the lofty mid nineties price of $79.95. The justification is that by reading the source code, developers would learn how to code their own games. I say it's more of a tech demo since the game consists of a single level with no sound where you drive around a tank and fire at other tanks, and they fire back at you. There's no real way to dodge the opposing tank's fire, making the exercise kind of pointless. The goal is to destroy a helicopter, and if you read the enclosed docs they'll reveal there's a trick to doing it. Overall not much reason to play this, but it's an interesting find due to the nature of its release so I figured I'd add it here.
