With MegaPlex you can play all the existing SupaPlex levels. But that is only where it starts. Megaplex can also be used to edit/create levels, playback and even record demos. A special new file format allows levels of variable size – not only 60 by 24 as with Supaplex. The zoom as well as the playing speed can be customized to your needs. And everything works in a normal window on the Win32 desktop.
MegaPlex is fully compatible with the original game. That means, all recorded demos, including nifty tricks and bugs of Supaplex, work equally with both. The most important difference is that in the current state MegapPlex does not support player- and high-score-lists. Neither does it use the menu screen and the level advancing logic of the DOS version. Time counting is exclusively done in frames.”
Another thing that really makes MegaPlex enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to MegaPlex. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
