Play MicroLink Shut the Box Online
Roll dice, flip numbered tiles to match your roll, and watch the panic rise as your options shrink—those blocky beige screens hide a sneaky little brain teaser.
Game Overview
MicroLink Shut the Box is one of those MS-DOS games that somehow makes staring at a blocky CRT screen feel cozy. You roll two dice, then scramble to flip down numbered tiles that add up to your roll—sounds simple, but halfway through, you'll realize you've backed yourself into a corner by leaving only high numbers. The panic sets in fast.
The whole thing has that satisfyingly clunky early-PC charm—no frills, just beige backgrounds and sharp keyboard clicks. I love how the tension builds as the tiles dwindle, especially when you're one roll away from clearing the board. It's the kind of game you boot up for "just one round" and suddenly an hour's gone. Perfect for when you want something quick but still need to flex your brain a little.
Honestly, it holds up better than most modern mobile versions. The box is waiting—good luck shutting it.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
