Play The Adventures of Tintin - Prisoners of the Sun on Msdos Online

I remember playing The Adventures of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun back in the day; it was a 1997 MS-DOS release from Infogrames, part of that wave of point and click adventures that really defined the era. It was based on the classic Tintin comic, and it felt like stepping right into Hergé’s panels, even with the limitations of the hardware. The game captured the spirit of the source material without trying to oversell itself, which was refreshing.

You control Tintin, and sometimes his companions, as you explore environments screen by screen, picking up items and solving puzzles to advance the story. The main goal is to rescue Professor Calculus from the Temple of the Sun, which involves navigating traps, decoding ancient scripts, and interacting with a mix of friendly and hostile characters. The pacing is deliberate, almost methodical; you have to think through each action, and mistakes can mean repeating sections. It’s not an easy game, with some puzzles that really test your patience, but there’s a genuine satisfaction in finally figuring things out. Playing it feels like being part of a hands-on archaeological dig, where every discovery matters.

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