    Default DOS games, woo!

    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! What games released on DOS do you guys like?

    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    Oh my gosh. DOS games were my childhood. I'll edit this later to try and make a better Post because it deserves it.

    Although half of these would look, sound and perform better if you played the Amiga versions of them through an Amiga emulator.

    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.

    God of Thunder, hell yeah! I was seriously just thinking about it this morning!

    The Dagger of Amon Ra is my favorite DOS game of all time. Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure and Hugo's House of Horrors tie for second place (the entire Hugo series is awesome and I loooved it). The King's Quest series is supposedly pretty sweet, too, but I think I only played King's Quest IV and can't really vouch for the rest of the games. I remember liking Mystic Towers a lot.

    Really, all the old Shareware games.

    edit: and oh trout, Pharaoh's Tomb!

    Not sure if they all work on DosBOX, but it's a start of some old school fun.
