About

Bill the Demon (Black and White Version) is the monochrome build of James Burton's 1996 freeware platformer, distributed via Info-Mac as bill-the-demon-bw.hqx alongside the color release. Burton, then at Stanford, packaged it as a Strategy/Arcade title for any black-and-white Mac with at least a 640x480 display.PremiseYou play Bill, a small but very plucky young Demon out to prove your worth by descending through the nine circles of hell to win an autograph from the Devil himself, climbing the demonic social ladder along the way.MechanicsAction is side-scrolling: run around hell munching on tiny humans to keep a hunger meter topped up, scream at walls to shatter them and open new areas (the same scream stuns or kills enemies), and find teleporters to move between levels.Black-and-white buildThis release is functionally the color game retargeted for 1-bit displays, intended for Macs without color capability or for users running on Plus/SE/Classic-class hardware. A separate color version was distributed in parallel.Author and licensingAuthored by James Burton (jimburtn@leland.stanford.edu).
