Sócrates en la casa del terror (Sócrates in the House of Terror) is an obscure 2D platformer from Argentina, featuring a scaredy dog who rips off Gex.

Unused Graphics

A lava texture labeled as CONSOLE can be seen by opening the executable in a resource editor.

Development Text

There are a few interesting strings that can be found within the main executable. Some of these have line-breaks added in order to avoid horizontal stretching.

CD-ROM Not Found

Paired up with similar error messages is the following text at offset 940EC.

Original	Translation
No puedo encontrar el CD-ROM de "Sócrates en La casa del Terror"	I can't find the "Sócrates en La casa del Terror" CD-ROM

The game doesn't need the disc inserted in order to function so it goes unseen.

Development Folder

The very last string at C0010 has the location where the executable was compiled (and reveals that the developers didn't really like making this game).
