TinySol: A 3KB Klondike Solitaire for Vintage DOS PCs
TinySol, a tiny solitaire game for DOS
TinySol is a free, tiny Klondike Solitaire game for DOS, designed to run on vintage computers with monochrome screens. It fits in just 3KB, runs on any PC from 8086 up, and supports CGA, AT&T 6300, EGA, and VGA graphics. The game includes keyboard and mouse controls, save/restore, auto-finish, and scoring. It has been tested on real hardware including an IBM 5150 and a GRiDCase 1520, and in emulators. Written in x86 assembly, it aims to look sharp on gas-plasma displays while being small enough for ROMs.
A user, Joseph, running version 1.1 emailed saying, “You have no idea how hard I have been looking for a DOS Klondike game that works with just the keyboard and draws 3 cards at a time.”
