Dominoes



Dominoes by M. Overlin, P. Beard, I. Gasowski.

Part of the More After Dark collection.

I've always really liked the Dominoes module. At the time, it was a unique idea to create a screensaver out of game and there was something slightly fascinating about watching a game play out automatically on your screen. Okay, maybe I was easily entertained back then.

A small number of future After Dark modules would play on the theme of a game. It's something I wish was done more. Why not have a chess or checkers game as a module? The After Dark Games release came close as each game could also be used as a screen saver but they didn't capture the simplicity of this old Dominoes module.

Also, as with almost all the More After Dark modules, this runs absolutely fine on modern systems.
