About

Barrack is a game (in the same vein as Jezzball) released for classic Macintosh computers by Ambrosia Software. This is a DOS game written in QBASIC that recreates Barrack, a game originally released for classic Macintosh computers by Ambrosia Software. As a DOS executable, it requires DOSBox to run on modern systems.

Getting started

Since it's a DOS executable, you'll need DOSBox (or an actual DOS system) to run it.

History

The author wrote this as a child after playing the original Barrack on a relative's Macintosh and finding no way to play it on their own DOS/Windows 3.1 PC; after trying the similar game Jezzball and finding it lacked Barrack's variety of ball types, they wrote their own version instead, being an avid QBASIC programmer at the time.

Known limitations

  • platform: DOS executable requires DOSBox to run on modern systems.
