About: Highly addictive scrolly text game that will have you playing in your sleep. Music that gets into your head. Really spiffy ASCII graphics.

Description

JetLag 2003 is part of a fine tradition that started circa 1990 in 6809E assembly, was redone in BASICA/GW-BASIC for IBM PCs, redone again in Turbo Pascal 6.0 for DOS, redone yet again for QBASIC, again for Borland Pascal 7.0, then for VC++ 4.0 with DirectX 5.0 for Windows 9X.

JetLag 2003 was written in VC++.NET to use SDL 1.2, and so indirectly uses DirectX. It continues the fine tradition of using a DOS font, which it has always done since its move to GW-BASIC.

Not responsible for failed classes, lost jobs, divorces, etc caused as a result of becoming addicted to JetLag.
