Rammstein · 1997 · Native browser port
Asche zu Asche
The original Windows game from the Das Modell single, rebuilt as a lightweight HTML5 game with its original artwork and audio.
About this port
Rammstein's 1997 promotional game ran on Windows 95 with a Visual Basic 3
runtime. This page is a new HTML5 implementation of the original game
logic: the 5 MB executable was decompiled (DoDi VB3 decompiler under
Wine; sources and the p-code cross-check are in the Asche project's
reference/vb3/), and the walk axis, ground tables, object
tables, activation chains, timer intervals, scoring and HUD are ported
from that code. The backdrops, sprites and WAV effects are the original
files. The emulated original is still available at the
main Asche zu Asche page.
Scoring follows the original readme: collected points plus one thousand points for each unused shot, minus ten points per second of play. The 1997 email/fax high-score contest has ended and is not reproduced; the result is only kept in this browser.
Tip: the original's /GODMODE command line lives on as typing GODMODE during play.
