Xargon: The Mystery of the Blue Builders is not currently available for digital distribution. The game was originally released for MS-DOS in three episodes between 1993 and 1994, but it has not been released on any modern platforms.
There are a few reasons why Xargon may not be available for digital distribution. Epic MegaGames, the game’s developer, is no longer in business, and the rights to the game may be unclear. Additionally, the game’s source code may be lost or damaged, making it difficult to port to modern platforms.
Despite its absence from digital distribution, Xargon remains a popular game among fans of retro gaming. There are a number of ways to play Xargon today, including emulation and fan-made remakes.
