Play Abort, Retry, Fail? Online
You type gibberish commands into a glitchy DOS prompt, solving weird puzzles that turn old-school error messages into inside jokes and surreal little challenges. It’s like someone turned your childhood computer frustrations into a love letter for tech nerds.
Game Overview
Ever stared at a frozen DOS prompt and wanted to scream? Abort, Retry, Fail? turns that frustration into something actually fun—a weird little game where cryptic error messages become puzzles, inside jokes, and surreal challenges. It’s got that grainy, pixel-perfect MS-DOS look, but instead of crashing your actual homework, you’re navigating absurd scenarios that feel like they were dreamed up by a programmer who’d had one too many energy drinks.
I love how it doesn’t take itself seriously—one minute you’re deciphering nonsense commands, the next you’re chuckling at some bizarre reference to ’90s tech culture. It’s short, but packed with enough charm to make retro nerds (like me) instantly nostalgic. If you’ve ever fought with a command line, this feels like the game finally getting revenge on your behalf.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
