Sócrates en la Casa del Terror

Sócrates en la casa del terror (Sócrates in the House of Terror) is an obscure 2D platformer from Argentina, featuring a scaredy dog who rips off Gex.

Unused Graphics#

A lava texture labeled as CONSOLE can be seen by opening the executable in a resource editor.

Development Text#

There are a few interesting strings that can be found within the main executable. Some of these have line-breaks added in order to avoid horizontal stretching.

CD-ROM Not Found#

Paired up with similar error messages is the following text at offset 940EC.

Original	Translation
`No puedo encontrar el CD-ROM de "Sócrates en La casa del Terror"`	`I can't find the "Sócrates en La casa del Terror" CD-ROM`

The game doesn't need the disc inserted in order to function so it goes unseen.

Development Folder#

The very last string at C0010 has the location where the executable was compiled (and reveals that the developers didn't really like making this game).
