Space / tap — switch lanes
Esc — title
A browser port of the 1981 IBM PC classic, for its 45th birthday.
DONKEY.BAS shipped with early IBM PC DOS as a demo of color graphics and sound in BASICA. It was written by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Neil Konzen in 1981 (version 1.10 in 1982). You only switch lanes — avoid the donkey, or BOOM.
