What Floppy Frenzy is
Floppy Frenzy is an arcade game developed by Windmill Software and released in 1982. It is available on DOS only.
The premise, in the publisher's words
In Floppy Frenzy, players guide a floppy disk through a maze, being careful to avoid dust and magnets. Players can trap magnets in a trap, while using traps on dust will reduce the dust and make it harmless. Be warned though, as magnets get free after a while or if they touch another trap after they are trapped. There is also a timer. If the player does not use their traps on all the enemies within the time limit, they will die. If the player loses all three of their lives the game is then over. After each level the player gets to a bonus score screen, which shows how well they did within the time limit. The faster a player used their traps on all the enemies, the higher the bonus score…
