There are MS-DOS game jams! I need to enter one some day.
This person made a game called "Cara Grabs Antimatter." It is a cute little mechanic that I have seen before in some form, but I can't recall if I have ever seen it exactly implemented like this game does. The creator asked if people wanted to try it on their real systems, and I was happy to.
It worked flawlessly on my PCjr, here is a screenshot - one thing to note is that I believe the colors used for a real CGA machine are yellow, green, black and then that pinkish red thing CGA does.
On the PCjr, they (correctly) come up as brown, gree, red and black - I have had it explained to me before, and I have seen documentation on why this is the case. A lot of games act this way, when it comes to the PCjr palette and color modes and the PC's CGA ones.
You can try the game out here:
