wasn't starwars a dos game? Apparently lucas arts used to make the dos games and they were quite good... I don;t even know since DOS was well before my time ;D
I have made dos programs if it counts for anything... :-\
-
yeah, there were at least 3 star wars dos games :D
-
Doom, Duke Nukem 3d, and Quake.

Yeah, Doom is one of my favorites, But I have never played Quake... :-\

Full Throttle, The Dig, and Sam & Max Hit The Road are all classic DOS games from Lucas Arts. As for Star Wars, the original X-Wing and Tie Fighter games were also Lucas classics that were done on DOS.
The Wing Commander games were DOS based (I, II, III, and Privateer, not sure about IV & V). Great games in their time.
Doom, Doom II, Ultimate Doom, Dark Forces (another Star Wars game) and Quake were all DOS first-person shooters. I still like Duke Nukem 3D the most though. It was so much easier to customize and play with.
Sierra's Space Quest & Kings Quest series were really fun DOS games. Space Quest V has got to be one of my favorite games ever. Also, Sierra's Phantasmagoria and Gabriel Knight II were really good.
The 7th Guest (one of the first CD-ROM games) was a great puzzle game. The graphics were top-notch back in the day. Definitely worth checking out if you ever get the chance. There are files available to make it run in Windows XP, but it's a bit unstable so you have to save often or you end up losing your progress.
Crusader: No Remorse and Crusader: No Regret were great action games. I still can't get them to run properly in Windows XP (fail to start because of sound) and haven't got it to work properly with DOSBox either.
And finally, who didn't love Commander Keen?

Wow, you were sure know a lot!

My first computer was a DOS machine. ;D

Under a Killing Moon

Love Dreamweb. But once it's done it's well... done you probably won't play it again. Elite 2 frontiers is brilliant but I have a backwards engineered copy of that so it's not technically DOS runs on all Win OS but should be, in 1998 I had a DOS version of that game... I think.
-
MechWarrior was pretty damned cool.
-
pac man ;)
-
Noctis...
-
The best DOS game ever was the Star Trek game which had asterisks for stars, and >!< for ships and such! ;D

wasn't that called EGATrek? Well, that was one of them, anyway.
-
I found one that I saved that is sort of like the Zelda game for the NES
-
Hyrule Fantasy?
-
I dont recall since I wanted to put it on a floppy for my 486 that I havent been able to mess with. Is that a knock off? If so I'll look at it :D
-
No, Hyrule Fantasy is the NES game. It's only translation of the japanese game title, I think.
remember, DODONGO DISLIKES SMOKE
-
ummm ::) No, I never had a NES or was part of that time. I had a SN an such. Thought that it was like a dos ver or something.

Don't recall a DOS version... If there was one, it likely wasn't licensed.
there were some Java clones I saw.
P.S: I never owned a NES either ;)
-
I was meaning a dos ver that is like it.
-
The NES was brilliant. Ahh the big cartridges you could throw at your brother when he annoyed you. May have to have a look around on ebay see if I can get a cheap one.

probably not cheap... their about the same as SNES systems, which are around 200$ (although the one I got had several games)... now the cheapo dual catridge third party systems, on the other hand...
-
I may be able to find one myself in due time though.
-
Not to bad

Ignition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_(video_game)) and GTA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_(video_game))
Also, I had one game, dunno it's name, it worked on DOS/Win9x/WinXP and it was like those snake games, but you had a train to use instead of a snake.
Your goal was to pick up things like diamonds, trees, sheep's, ice creams, computers, cakes, cars and so on
When you cleaned a room, you would proceed to the next room
Does anyone have a clue about what the game is called and where I can get it?
-
I hate those, also those are rather easy to find. I just dont know the name of it though.

Argh the confusion!
-

bad grammer's.
Name of what?
said grammer's. "hilda?" "agnes?" who knows?!
-
I think one is called doublelink, not too sure since I cant stand those kind. Do I need to start reporting you? Read. This is not a complete windows world.
-
what are you talking about?
-
??? ??? ??? That's the best I can do?
-
You guys were trailing off, when you knew what I was meaning. The game that he wanted to know about.
-
played castle wolfenstien on dos alot
-
alley cat was good
mainly because the good cga graphics
-
you can get a NES emulator for dos
one issue is how do you get the games in there?
-
I would use the one that is made for windows ;)

4081 here. heh. :P

I'm finding that the wii is good to play some of the older games. I have the old zelda one for it though, if I had more time I would try an find some but I like the tech apps better.

-

squall_01 you are making no sense
this is the 3rd thread where your post's make very little sense
-
Well, this is not one the best examples where he makes no sense. ;D

was in response to

-
exatly, it being a black hole it be gone.

It just dawned on me that nobody has mentioned Doom yet. That is a classic franchise.
Cudos on the Wolfenstein though.

hey Quantos
it seems you are here only once a week

wish I could find some good ones for my 486 :-\

all dos games work on 486s
-
I dont think so :( ;)
-
I dont think so :( ;)
name one
btw i dont really have time to post right now
-
I'm sure that there could be, but I was never around that stuff when it was new or anything so its all second hand too me. But I was meanig finding some good ones for it.
-
name one
btw i dont really have time to post right now
There were 486 machines that were made with the SX rather than DX chipsets(it has to do with the math co-pro), and some games just don't run well on the SX machines.
-
thing is that I read it wrong an was covering it up some what. :-\
-
Castle Master, it has good 3D and a VERY large map.
-
Another World (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Another_World_(video_game)&oldid=321800012) was a great game, not alot of replay value and sadly no sequel. Scorched Earth, Death Rally, Wolf 3D, Spear of Destiny, all bring back some great memories too. What a glorious time ... when games fit on a single floppy disk :)
-
Mechwarrior and Kings Quest were my favorites
-
NUMBER 1 ------- XCOM series especially and only up to Apocolypse. All the XCOM games beyond Apocolypse are pants.
-Pacific Commander and Strike Commander, of the Wing Commander fame. Great graphics and gameplay for the day, i486 era!
-Syndicate.
-
The original Dos Command & Conquer game, come out in 1996, plus Mercenary, and Damocles
-
Dukem nukem (classic), TES 2 : DaggerFall ;)
-
Why has no one mentioned Master of Orion? I can still get people hooked into playing this game to this day. I would say C&C as well but it has a windows version so it's disqualified.

Having a windows version doesn't disqualify C&C, since if that was the case, Duke nukem 3d, Quake, Doom, Doom 2, Wolfenstein, and countless other games will have to be as well.

ZOOL Was The Best Game I think
-
How about the Eye of the Beholder series???
And all the flight sims, 1942, SWOTL, Aces over Europe, Aces of the Pacific
Terminator 2042... or something like that
Heroes of the Lance
Excalibure
Police Quest
Elite
I could go on and on.....
