Play Sink or Swim on Msdos Online

You're Kevin Codner, some kind of aquatic handyman who gets called in when a luxury liner (the SS Lucifer, because of course) starts flooding in the dumbest way possible—some captain yanks his bathtub plug and suddenly the whole ship's going down. You hop in a little yellow submarine and start rescuing passengers before they drown, burn, or walk straight into acid like absolute morons.

Each level's a race against rising water while you herd these clueless survivors toward safety. They'll happily march off ledges if you don't block their path with crates or redirect conveyor belts. Sometimes you're blasting doors open with explosives, other times you're frantically building bridges out of cargo before the idiots yeet themselves into the ocean. The lifeboat buys them a few extra seconds in the water, but if they don't grab a ladder fast enough, it's back to drowning. Jetpacks exist, but there's never enough, so you're mostly playing damage control—patching steam pipes, smothering fires, and groaning as passengers walk into hazards you just cleared.

It's chaotic in that classic MS-DOS way where everything's slightly janky and the stakes feel weirdly high for a game about bathplug disasters. You'll either love the frantic puzzle-solving or rage-quit when your fifth passenger this round walks directly into a fire.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
