Dark Seed

Online version of Dark Seed for PC DOS. Dark Seed is a horror point-and-click adventure from 1992 and the first title released by the Californian studio Cyberdreams. The dark half of its world was built from the work of Swiss painter H. R. Giger, who licensed his art on one condition: the game had to run in a high resolution of 640x350 pixels and 16 colours instead of the then usual 320x200 and 256 colours. The player guides advertising executive Mike Dawson, who moves into an old house in Woodland Hills, California, and discovers that an alien embryo has been implanted in his head. He has 3 in-game days to stop it, moving back and forth between the ordinary world and its dark mirror twin. Besides the PC and the Amiga the game also appeared on the Macintosh, the Amiga CD32 and, in Japan, on the Saturn and the PlayStation.

IBM PC with MS-DOS

Online emulated version of Dark Seed was originally developed for the IBM PC and compatible computers, with MS DOS - Microsoft Disk Operating System. It is an OS for x86-based personal computers mostly developed by Microsoft and released in 1981 as PC DOS 1.0.
MS-DOS was targeted at Intel 8086 processors running on computer hardware using floppy disks to store and access not only the operating system, but application software and user data as well. Progressive version releases delivered support for other mass storage media in ever greater sizes and formats, along with added feature support for newer processors and rapidly evolving computer architectures. Ultimately, it was the key product in Microsoft's development from a programming language company to a diverse software development firm, providing the company with essential revenue and marketing resources. It was also the underlying basic operating system on which early versions of Windows ran as a GUI.
