Open source game engine from 1995: CONK - Action Game Construction Kit
"CONK" is a construction kit for action games written in Assembler and C, which was never completed due to the collapse of the Amiga market. It consists of a map editor ("Bonk"), a sprite editor ("Gonk"), the "action editor" ("Zonk") and the actual engine "Ponk", which runs the finished game.
One of the developers provides a ZIP archive (3.2 MB) with the latest version of the engine on his website. In addition to the Construction Kit and various unfinished demo games, it also contains the source code for all components of the Construction Kit.
To start one of the examples, navigate to the respective directory ("Blast" or "ConkDemo") and then start the game engine giving the name of the desired title as a parameter:
/Ponk/Ponk <NAME>.game
