Dr. Mind - a 16-bit logic game for DOS

Copyright © 2019 Mateusz Viste

Dr. Mind is a PC adaptation of a well-known board game. The computer generates a secret color code, and the player has to figure out the exact pattern within 8 turns. After each turn, the computer provides clues about how many colors matched the solution. The game features a set of 24 pictures that are initially blured - every time you work out a valid code combination, you are rewarded with a picture.

Requirements: PC-compatible (8086+), DOS 3+, 100K of avail. RAM, VGA or MCGA.

The game comes in two versions: the normal release and a "LITE" variant. The LITE version is the same thing, but with pictures removed - may be handy for computers that have extremely limited storage. Dr. Mind LITE requires only 24 KiB of disk space, while the full version needs 1.4 MiB (fits on a diskette).

This game is published under the CC BY-ND 4.0 license, which is roughly equivalent to "freeware with source code".
