The Worlds of Billy (Construction)

A quick view of the construction world in drilling billy, also known as "the worlds of billy." This is a DOS game released in around 1996/1997. It is relatively obscure today, but was surprisingly of higher quality than most games in its day (running in an 800x600 resolution). It is possible to force billy into 640x480 -- in which you would use the numpad to move the screen, however, I have never done this.

TO RUN THIS GAME IN DOSBOX:
#1 "mount D D:\ -t cdrom -ioctl"
#2 "mount c c:\"
#3 "C:"
#4 "cd/billy/billy"

Where to get this game? You can look at ebay, amazon, and other places. Do not ask for me to give you a copy of the game.
David Filskov apparently made a website on billy here:

[I found this just recently; he might have permission to give out the game freely]

Can you tell me with which program you recorded these videos? Then I can show you the bug in the cave (sorry for the delay was in holidays)

@Fantasy5001 I used camtasia studio (an old version of it mind you).

[Fantasy5001]

@raymangold22 The download of Camtasia doesn't work.... anyway the hard levels are missing, do you know where I can find/get them? I remember how I played really hard levels like 10 years ago... we got the game from a copied CD but it doesn't work on newer computer systems.... it would be great if I could play them again :)

@Fantasy5001 The game only contained two difficulties: normal and easy. The easy levels were added in later versions... the early versions always contained the normal (or "harder" levels).

I love the music :D

[raymangold22]

@TheRunningComedian Yeah it's awesome! The guy who made it has a website where you can download the whole soundtrack: music (dot) sonnymaestro (dot) com

Enjoy!

@raymangold22 No, there definately were levels I didn't play. If you wait at the main screen you can see Billy playing some random levels. I guess this are the hard ones.

@raymangold22 OH COOL :D Thank you :D
