Super Shooting Acer

About this game

Super Shooting Acer is a charming and humble DOS game that feels like a passion project from a budding programmer. As a simple shooting game, it tasks players with pressing the correct number key (1-5) to shoot bad guys as they appear on screen, while avoiding the good guys. The twist? The characters are low-resolution digital scans of the author’s friends and relatives, giving the game a personal and quirky touch. The gameplay is straightforward and functional, though it’s clearly designed for short, casual play sessions rather than extended gaming marathons. While it may not have the depth or polish of more professional titles, it has a certain endearing quality that reflects the creativity and enthusiasm of its creator. The inclusion of the source code in C is a nice bonus, offering aspiring programmers a glimpse into the development process and an opportunity to learn from or build upon the game. If you’re interested in exploring early indie game development or just want to try a quick, lighthearted shooting game with a personal twist, Super Shooting Acer is worth a look. It’s a reminder of the creativity and experimentation that often characterize a programmer’s first steps into game design. While it may not be a masterpiece, it’s a fun and nostalgic curiosity for fans of retro gaming and DIY projects.
