Vlak

Screenshots1 / 2

The title screen features pixel art sprites arranged in a pyramid formation against a black background. Blue diamond shapes occupy the left column, green mushroom-like sprites form the center-left, yellow castle structures span the upper-middle, and red circular objects populate the right side. Text labels identify "GOLEM", "VLAK", and "ZAZAMAN" in the lower-left corner with numeric values. A red brick platform spans the bottom edge with a yellow warning triangle centered at the base. The overall composition uses a limited 8-bit color palette typical of early 1990s DOS games.

Vlak Controls — DOS Keyboard Keys

Default keyboard bindings for Vlak on our in-browser DOS emulator. Plug in a USB or Bluetooth gamepad to auto-detect mappings, or rebind any key from the emulator settings menu.

DOS games use the keyboard directly as the controller — there is no console-button mapping. Open the in-game documentation or check the game-specific options screen for the key layout used by this title.

Rebind any key from the EmulatorJS in-game settings menu (gear icon → Controls). A connected gamepad auto-maps to the same buttons.
