Hexxagon is a really fun and amusing free strategy game for one or two players. You will be demonstrated shortly how it works - the game has a visual intro / demo. Under Linux you may run it by dosbox like the following:
mount c /games/
c:
cd Hexxagon
dir /w
hexx
(change to drive C: which you have just mounted)
(same as ls: directory listing in broad format)
(run hexx.exe)
Under OS/2 and the eComstation the game should work out of the box including sound (if the sound drivers have been installed correctly also for DOS/Win16). Nonetheless you may apply the DOS settings we have shipped with the game (HEXX.DSG).
Unfortunately we can not ship a broader range of DOS games that are fun here because most of them have been proprietary software. Nonetheless I am sure that you may make all of them work - with a little help: see for 'DOS Games Settings' in the download area below. We have also provided some OS/2 icons for popular DOS games: see for 'DOS Game Icons' below.
Most games provided here are written natively for OS/2 and thus also for the eComstation. In this section we will present some of them.
A game of dice where you have to move your gaming pieces into the goal and can plonk your enemies pieces:
Make all but one gaming piece in the middle disappear from the field.
Guess a code made up of four differently coloured fields: A black gaming piece means that you have guessed the right color in the right position while a white gaming piece as output to your choice means the right color in the wrong position.
A text adventure in the australian outback.
Collect items on a 3D-field.
A variation of TicTacToe where your can move your gaming pieces.
also known as nibbles (arcade game).
You may download any game individually or all games at once via EntPack.zip.
