Ruby is a true object-oriented programming language renown for its ease for comprehension and maintainability. It can do most of the things other programming languages can do, but the programmer has more fun.

Now at the end of 2016, when I look at my very old notes from 2007 I wonder.. Is Ruby’s hayday over?.

The official DOS version is abandoned.
An an open source version was released for FreeDOS, but it appears to be abandoned.
The Windows version was called 4NT, but later renamed to TCC/LE

Good fun with childish gameplay. No real dying.. could be challenging for good players, if they took it seriously. Would be great multiplayer (which I haven’t tried). Spoiled by an entirely impossible area.. so you cannot proceed.

It has a lot of other problems and I mark this one as “entirely unplayable”.
