Mach

Mach is one of the many small DOS games produced by the Finnish home-computer scene of the 1990s and passed around on local BBS boards. Unfortunately, not even a period description survives for this one, so we cannot say anything certain about its author, release year or genre – and we would rather admit that than make things up.

The name itself brings to mind the Mach number, the speed of sound, which in games of that era usually hinted at something fast. Whether that holds true here is for you to discover; nameless little curiosities like this are exactly why the Finnish scene deserves archiving, as hardly a trace of them exists on international retro sites.

The game runs right in your browser on OldGame.cz, so exploring costs nothing – one click and you can see what hides behind the mysterious title.
