Play Driller online

In 1987, Driller arrived as a revolutionary 3D game that looked light-years ahead of its time. Using the Freescape engine, it let players explore a fully 3D world—on a DOS machine, no less. The premise: drill into a planet’s surface to release gas and prevent an explosion. The execution: lots of wandering, problem-solving, and marveling at the technical wizardry. The pace was glacial, but that was part of its charm. It wasn’t about action, it was about immersion—exploring alien architecture in a way no other game had offered. For tech enthusiasts, it was jaw-dropping. For everyone else, baffling but memorable.
