Play Boppin' online — the shareware episode Works — shareware episode runs via DOSBox in your browser
Guide updated November 2026 · Runs via DOSBox + WebAssembly
Boppin' is the 1994 puzzle game by Accursed Toys, published by Apogee. The heroes, Yeet and Boik, clear each room by throwing blocks at matching blocks, bouncing them off angled surfaces to reach the awkward ones. Their mission is to rescue video-game villains, because a game world with no bad guys is no fun. The official shareware episode is hosted here — click Play and it boots in your browser.

How it works & what to expect
The original DOS shareware release runs inside a WebAssembly build of DOSBox. The package is a little over 1 MB. It runs at full speed on an ordinary laptop or Chromebook.
Playing it
The arrow keys move your character; the throw key and the others are shown in the game's instructions. Pick up a block from a source, then throw it so that it lands against blocks of the same pattern. Clear every block to finish the room. Making larger shapes scores bonus points, and running out of throwable blocks costs a life.
Shareware version — and the full game
This is the first episode, released as shareware under the VENDOR.DOC in the package. The remaining episodes are the registered game and are not hosted here.
