PuzzleWorks is the company name deployed by Arild Grebstad when making games, tools and miscellaneous programs under the handles Aeron Pax & Paxelius around the turn of the 21st century.
These games were made using Turbo Pascal 7 in 1999 and tweaked a little on and off until 2001 on a pre-Pentium, Windows 98 PC.
First out was DotQuest, heavily inspired by the classic Snake-games.
After toying with some ideas of endless growing and utilizing a bug! that made the Dot jump over one spot every time the arrowkeys were pressed, the ExtraQuest was born. After languishing in oblivion for so long, on 17th of January 2025 they were finally bundled with a DOS-emulator using "js-dos", and lifted out of obscurity for online play.
