Plan 9 From Outer Space
Did you know?
One verified detail of the day about the game and its history.
The DOS version was developed by Gremlin Ireland.
Plan 9 From Outer Space is one of the more unusual DOS adaptations of the cult title, preserved here in its classic floppy release form. Our release is aimed at players who still own the original game and want to use it in a clean, modern launch setup. We focus on the supported original versions and leave the actual gameplay flow untouched.
Our loader removes the original manual protection check without introducing later-game issues such as the taxi sequence bug. Pressing F1 toggles the protection bypass, after which the game starts normally. The loader automatically detects the supported version and applies the correct patch; when the game exits, the modified bytes are restored to their original state. We support the German floppy release and the European multi-language floppy version, provided you have the original files.
D.O.S.I. knows the shortcut.
With the matching keyfile, the waiting period in our loader/trainer is removed. Your purchase also supports our volunteer preservation work.
Optional — this release also works without a keyfile.
