PDF Games
This is a collection of PDF games. Each game was generated by Distilling hand-written PostScript. Mazeworld was the first and is still probably the best example of the genre.
The ZIPped files on this page are compatible with PKZIP. Trying to download half a megabyte from our server may seem a bit daunting, but so far the majority of attempts have been successful. So persevere -- it'll be worth it!
Mazeworld
The original and best PDF game has it's own web page. File sizes range from less than 100K to nearly 400K.XOX
Pronounced Zocks, this is a two-player version of Noughts and Crosses ("Tic-Tac-Toe") in the form of a PDF file. The `document' contains 5479 pages and 17126 links, and is 5507960 bytes long. From here you can download a ZIPped version of just 519426 bytes.Hangman
Another pen-and-paper classic. The PDF files for Hangman can get very large indeed. Each file contains just one game, so it's unlikely to be a challenge for very long. However, I'll try to generate new games every now and again. I could also do requests! Just mail me, and if the word isn't obscene, I'll post the game here.Because the files are so large, I have had to ZIP them. The numbers given are the ZIPped and UNZIPped sizes respectively.
