B Vs W (also written BvsW) is a small one-on-one fighting game written by Chris Lawson in 1995 and posted to the Info-Mac archive. The author wrote the game in QBASIC and then compiled it to a self-running executable, so it works without any BASIC interpreter installed. Estimated playing time is about two hours.
Origin
The submission note from clawson@jungle.achilles.net is dated 4 July 1995. Lawson notes in the original Subject header that the title is not a racial remark and refers only to the colors of the two on-screen fighters.
Gameplay
BvsW is a head-to-head fighting game in the spirit of mid-1990s shareware brawlers. As a compiled QBASIC project it is small in scope, focusing on a single matchup and a short play loop rather than tournaments or branching modes.
