*What's KOPS?

Kops is a two-dimensional gravitational shoot'yer'friend game in 640x480x256 graphics mode. The original version was made back in 1996. This is port from the DOS version to Windows and released as "freeware", i.e. there is no need to register the game since this new free release is fully functional with all the features previously available only in registered shareware version.

*Hardware requirements

  • Pentium-class computer with 32MB memory. (probably works with less)
  • A decent graphics adaptor
  • DirectX

Optional

  • A decent sound card (with windows drivers)

Recommended

  • Pentium II (or faster)
  • Lots of memory
