DOS GAMES

Sign in to disble this ad
I recently got dosbox and have had a blast playing some awesome games, (DukeNukem3d, Doom 1&2, God of Thunder) and was wondering what games you all play! Thanks in advance!

QUAKE


Best first person shooter, ever. Make sure you get the expansion packs.

Wing Commander Privateer still remains my favourite DOS game.Still remember all that autoexec business and having to assign the appropriate memory to get the game to run.

I certainly played a lot more quake than any other game I have ever played but I never really attributed it to being a DOS game like odler generation games. It might have something to do with Winquake or maybe OpenGL quake being huge. I dunno... I just don't think DOS when I think Quake.

I do not want to know the amount of time I played that game.

Although the interface is a bit janky by today's standards, its still a pretty cool game...
I think some video games, like some types of music, just don't age well... Not that this is an example of said effect.

Oh! Get your hands on Another World!

A buddy of mine had Doom on his computer back whenever that was. We wasted quite a few hours on that.

Keen = Win
Also the game Darklands was a great Baldur's Gate style game that was tons of fun.
And of course Heretic, Doom, Wolfenstein and so on

My brother got me addicted to computer games by making me play Doom "just for a half hour".

I hate to think of how many hundreds of hours I squandered on Doom and Doom 2.
