Boppin' under Virtual PC

#### BOPPIN' v1.1 from APOGEE! ####
#### Variety jammed arcade/puzzle game! ####
In an alternate *arcade game* universe, you
must free dozens of imprisoned enemies from
other video games. Each level has unique VGA
graphics in this unusual game. Violence mode
provided. Cool animation & cinematics. MIDI
music & digital sound for all popular cards.
One or two can play together. Level editor
in full version, plus 160 levels! Shareware.
By Accursed Toys. Supports two joysticks.

This is a really fun game. You play the roll of Yeet and Boik - to funky alien monsters, who need to save other video game monster who have been trapped by the 'too-good' Mr HunnyBunz the teddy bear. This is a simple but addictive puzzle solver where you have to pickup and throw blocks into the right location to make a matching pattern. This game runs well under Virtual PC - though I had to use SLOWDOWN  in order to make it playable:

        

Interestingly enough the author of this game has also released a Windows XP compatible version of this game that uses DirectX - and can be downloaded here: https://atoys.com/files/bopinst205.exe. You can also download the original DOS version of this game from here: https://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/game/99

Cheers,

  Thanks for this blog. I do alot of work with VS2005.
  
  I see that you use are using DOS to 'emulate' these games. What version of DOS are you using and where can I get a copy? I will pay if I have to.
  
  Thanks again for this wealth of VPC and gaming knowledge. :)

  Hmm...  That did not do anything here.
  
  Quazi -
  
  I use MS-DOS 6.22 - which Microsoft (unfortunately) no longer sells.  Your best bet is EBay.

  No - I never played that game and hence do not have a copy to test.

  It's sold as part of a collection, being downloadable by customers who buy MSDN subscriptions.  However, I've read that the downloadable version is an upgrade version and it can be pretty tough to force it to install.
