Lately I've been messing around with DOSbox. Without any real experience with any form of DOS before this, it's pretty interesting looking at what games are available for it. It's totally different from what was available on consoles! So far, Zeliard has been the only game that feels console-esque. It makes me think of Ys. :P
So, I figured I'd make a thread about it! :jess: What games released on DOS do you guys like?
Wolfenstein3D
Carmageddon
X-COM
MASTER OF ORION 2
Oh my gosh. DOS games were my childhood. I'll edit this later to try and make a better Post because it deserves it. :jess:
Games I played on Dos:
MathRescue
Wolfenstein3D
Monkey Island 1
Games I played on Windows 95 also available for Dos:
Theme Hospital
MechWarrior2
Red Alert
All of my yes.Quote:

Although half of these would look, sound and perform better if you played the Amiga versions of them through an Amiga emulator.
f yeah lotus
I actually played that right now on WinUAE.
Time to pull out my childhood! Let's see:
Wolfenstein3D
God of Thunder (It's free! =D Go play it.)
Realms of Chaos
Hocus Pocus
Powerslave
I may be missing a few, but those are the ones I can remember from the top of my head. Seriously, go play God of Thunder, now.
Space Quest all the way!
God of Thunder, hell yeah! I was seriously just thinking about it this morning!Quote:

Really, all the old Shareware games.
edit: and oh trout, Pharaoh's Tomb!
Dune (1992)
Duke Nukem
Raptor
Not sure if they all work on DosBOX, but it's a start of some old school fun.
Space Quest
Scorched Earth
Monuments of Mars
Jill of the Jungle
Links 386
Rockford
Descent
Command & Conquer
Also think the original Theme Park ran in DOS too.
Oh and the greatest game ever...

REALMS OF THE HAUNTING!
smurf yes!
Guys guys guys
ARENA and DAGGERFALL are pretty great okay
Arena looks like Minecraft
But they're not Realms of the Haunting. Which is a distinct problem. :DQuote:

EDIT: Yup, Crystal Caves it was indeed! Also, Sephex totally wins for mentioning Scorched Earth and Jill of the Jungle.
Commander Keen, of course! :D I once had all 7 of them on my PC. I got to know them through a friend of mine who had 1 to 3 (I think) on his Windows 3.1 (god, the memories!) and I got the rest for him once internet came around. Was the same friend who introduced me to Wolfenstein3D and the wonders of PC gaming.Quote:
