Hey guys,

For a few years now I've been desperatly looking for a game I used to play around 1987 - 1989.
I'm pretty sure the name is "Sniper".

It's a monochrome game in which you are a simple ASCII smiley-character hovering through an endless maze of white lines on a black background. Somewhere in this maze there's a sort of nest that pours out these little 1-character creatures who try to kill you. You can shoot them but the goal is to shoot the centre of the nest.

It was a very simple, yet addictive game and I never found it again. Of course, "Sniper" is a difficult keyword to search on in game related topics, so I'm hoping maybe one of you knows about this little 1-file DOS game.

Thanks very much in advance!

I think it's SNIPES you're after.
It's not really monochrome, I think your monitor was.
It's from 1982, 1 file, approx 8 Kb.

~~If is, I can upload it somewhere.~~
[Edit]
If is, it's on http://www.dosgames.com/

Hey Dosraider, thanks so much for your quick and helpfull response. 1982 even... boy, was I wrong!! Ah well, I found my nostalgic little piece of childhood, that's what matters. Got my popcorn here, ready to play Sniper Laughing

Thanks!

Hopefully it's still as fun as you remembered, memories can be dubious.

I wish all the 'Find Old Games' questions we get were that easy to solve.
