Rnixa's Secret 2 - ADG Filler #106

The secret is that this game even exists... :o For today's ADG filler video, Gemini's taking a quick look back at an indie game from 2008 known as Rnixa's Secret 2, even though there technically wasn't a "1", having been created and released on the net by one Dave Struthers in his late teens at the time. While the game looks like an old SVGA game from the days of DOS, it is indeed a Windows game and is technically... not really all that good. But, there's something special about it despite its lack of quality... ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: So... I've since discovered that this is actually a lost game... I cannot find any working downloads of it anywhere online, nor can I find working downloads on any web archival sites. To that end, since the game was always freeware and since I still have the original ZIP file it came in, I have made it available on my own website for everyone to download: https://www.pixelships.com/adg/files/... Here's a link to the game's page on the Allegro CC website, keeping in mind that sometimes it can take the Allegro CC website quite awhile to come out of hibernation. If it doesn't, wait a few minutes and give it another try. Also keep in mind that I didn't realize until well after this video went live that there's not actually a download for this game there; it relies on people going to the now defunct website of the author to download it: https://www.allegro.cc/depot/RnixasSe... I mention "DXWnd" during the video as a tool to use for being able to run this game in a window instead of having it take over your screen and bump it down 800x600. DXWnd is an advanced tool that can take some practice learning to use appropriately but definitely helps with this game and other older Windows titles and can be grabbed from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/ ------------------------------------------ Pixelmusement Website: https://www.pixelships.com ADG on Pixelmusement: https://www.pixelships.com/adg Alphabetical Index of ADG Episodes: https://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2...
