Wow! I think I've received more letters of
praise and more orders for the deluxe version
this past year than in all of 2003 and 2004 combined!
What gives? Why the sudden interest?
Whatever it is, I'm glad to see DOS games aren't dead yet!

The Continuing Adventures
of CyberBox Your mission is to escape from each of the 15 rooms presented in this series in as few moves as possible. You'll accomplish this by correctly utilizing and manipulating the various types of boxes placed throughout the maze. The boxes could be Pushers, Zappers, Movers, Pullers, or Selectors and as the names suggest, they usually move (or move you) in very specific ways. The puzzle rooms may be solved consecutively or you may jump from room to room. The program tracks which rooms have been solved, the shortest number of moves, and the author's suggested number of moves. A number of handy features include Instant Replay which plays back your moves, a Retry option which starts you over from the beginning of the room, a Take Back option to take back individual moves, and a Save Your Current Position option to easily return to a saved position for when you've gone too far. Other features let your set game
