How it works & what to expect
The original DOS shareware release runs inside a WebAssembly build of DOSBox. The package is a little over 1 MB. It runs at full speed on an ordinary laptop or Chromebook.
Playing it
The arrow keys steer your hoverskid over the city map. The fire key and the rest are shown in the game's instructions. Missions vary: escort, intercept, destroy. Read the briefings — the dialogue between missions is half the game, and the characters are not polite to each other.
Shareware version — and the full game
This is episode one of three, distributed under the LICENSE.DOC in the package, in which Safari Software allows and encourages online distribution as long as no files are altered or removed. The files here are complete and unmodified. The later episodes are not hosted here.
Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to play Traffic Department 2192 here?
Yes. This is the shareware episode. Its LICENSE.DOC allows online distribution provided no files are altered or removed, and none have been.
How many episodes are included?
One of three.
Is it suitable for children?
The story has strong language for a 1994 shareware game, and the plot is dark in places. It is better suited to older players.
