Supaplex

Supaplex is a computer game in the platform genre, created in 1991 by Michael Stopp and Philip Jespersen from Dream Factory. In essence, it was a significantly reworked and expanded clone of Boulder Dash. It consists of 111 levels (plus numerous unofficial sets).
The game was released for the Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS platforms. Due to hardware issues, the PC version ran at different speeds as CPU performance improved.
To solve this problem, Herman Perk disassembled the game, debugged it, and recompiled it, resulting in the Supaplex-SpeedFix version.
The name is likely derived from the words "super" and "plex" - a component, cluster, or network structure (as in the words duplex, triplex).
There are also remakes - Supaplex 3000 and WinPlex. Supaplex 3000 repeats Supaplex in every aspect except for the graphics, while WinPlex features new graphics and additional level collections. In addition, there is an editor for WinPlex that allows you to create your own levels.

Gameplay
The main goal in Supaplex is to collect all the infotrons (they look like flowers) and find the exit (marked as the letter E on an orange background). To do this, sometimes you need to bypass all the rocks (they look like cobblestones), avoid the Sneak Snack (they look like scissors), or detonate floppy disks (there are three types of floppy disks in the game: orange, red, and yellow). Sometimes you need to detonate blue stars.
