DOS games

SilentDemon · 03-01-2008, 02:15 PM

For all of you that loved playing games on DOS, this thread is for you. I've been thinking about play Master of Orion, Dune II, X-com (amazing game), and possibly Warlords II again.

What games do you miss? Have you been able to emulate DOS (using DOS-box or other programs)?

Any thoughts on DOS are very welcome here.

Wolfenstein (unforgettable, yet I seem to have)
Civilization, those were great fun too

I've edited your listS to reflect my feelings, and here's some of my own:

Populous
Indiana Jones and the last crusade
Loom
Capture the flag (anyone remember that?)
Bluemax (what about that one?)
Alone in the dark
Discworld
Themepark
Simcity - the original

I may think of more later.

I loved Themepark

Can't believe I forgot Loom and the Indiana Jones games.

Surprised The Might & Magic and early Star War space shooters were not mentioned.

X-wing vs. Tie figher <--- Way ahead of its time, dog fighting is a bitch on old school dial up.

Edit; Can't forget the old D&D SSI titles and who remembers the Oregon Trail?

I started playing X-Com 1 again. DOSBOX isn't too hard to use, but fixing all the errors and problems is a pain. Yes, I don't have any sound and the game crashes sometimes, but damn it I will relieve the oldies.

Darn UFO's mid play always knocked down my Interceptors and had to spend more money building extras

And there was ALWAYS an alien base in one of the poles

The Oregon Trail. Never has traveling across 2/3 of the United States been so entertaining.
