The internets most comprehensive source of up to date Supaplex information.

If you have tried running Supaplex under Windows Vista or Windows 7 you will know it doesn’t work and the Windows comparability settings wont help either. You need to use DOSBox to install and play Supaplex. I have written up some instructions on how to install and configure DOSBox and Supaplex.

It seems that I can’t stop finding Supaplex Clones, I have come across another one!

Supaplex Labyrinth Reborn is a flash maze game that uses the graphics set from Supaplex and you can play it on the Clones & ports page.

Ok so it’s hardly mania it’s just an update but I have updated the Miscellanea page with some cool stuff, namely:

A poorly translated (I’ll comfort myself with the fact that I at least I tried. I’m also going to blame Google Translate) German preview of THINK! (the original name of Supaplex) and a Slovakian review of Supaplex. If you can translate the articles better than I can, i.e. so that they actually make sense in English or if you have any other reviews from other magazines please email me.

There are also some scans of some goodies that came in the retail boxed version of Supaplex.

I have updated the Miscellanea page with scans of the box art that Supaplex came in and a scan of a full page ad for the Amiga version of Supaplex.

I came across 2 new clones; Supaplex DS, and Supaplex J2ME, they have been added to the Clones & ports page.

Update – 22/01/2012: I never had any idea that there were so many Supaplex clones out there until I started looking. I have come across two more Supaplex clones. One of them is clone of Supaplex implemented in a Starcraft 2 map and the other is possibly the most obscure Supaplex clone ever, it’s a clone of Supaplex for Casio’s Pocket Viewer PDAs.
Casio released the first PV PDA in 1999, a whole bunch of different models in the PV series were released for different markets. Casio’s last PV PDA model in the series was the PV-S1600, it was released in 2003. In 2004 Andreas Schwarzkopf coded a port/clone of Supaplex for the PV PDA.
You can check out both of these clones on the Clones & ports page.

I have updated the Supaplex links page, no prizes for guessing what you can find on that page. I’ll update the links page if I find any new Supaplex websites. If you know of any other Supaplex pages please contact me so I can include it on the Supaplex links page.

I have started filling the obligatory FAQ section with Q&A’s. If you have any questions about Supaplex please contact me.

You can also find Supaplex available for download in the aptly named download section of this very website. I’ll be adding more downloads later.

I have compiled a list of 14 Supaplex clones. If you know of any Supaplex clones that are not on the list, have any corrections, relevant information, additional screenshots or screenshots of clones that I’m missing screenshots for then please hit up the contact page and use the form to send me an email and let me know and I’ll update/amend the list.

UPDATE!: I have updated the list with screenshots. I am missing screenshots for SwibPlex. If you have screenshots, can provide Screenshots for clones that are missing screenshots or have any additional screenshots for any of the other clones please email me.

UPDATE #2!: Another 7 clones have been added to the list of Supaplex clones.

This year marks the 21^st birthday of Supaplex, Murphy is now a an adult. So to celebrate the occasion I have decided to launch THINK! Supaplex to gather Supaplex resources in one place and to offer new information about Supaplex.

I chose the name THINK! Supaplex because THINK! was the original name of the game. Supaplex is a puzzle game where you have to think, so THINK! Supaplex seemed like a logical choice. Besides all the good Supaplex domains (.com, .net, .info etc…) were already taken.
