I recently played an amazing DOS game where you have your country and you can declare war or peace with other ones, and i really enjoyed it. Growing up one of my favorite DOS games was Gobliiins 3, such cool memories!
Most people named a lot of the games I would have, so I’m gonna give a shout out to probably the first proper video game I ever played: Mixed Up Mother Goose. Can still remember slowly walking around, trying to figure out what the shit was going on lol.
Oh my God I LOVED this game! Probably was what hooked me on a lifelong videogame addiction.
Lol this screenshot brought back so many memories of playing this game as a little kid!
Dangerous Dave. I think it was the first ever DOS game that I got to play. I like good platformers.
Space Hulk would definitely be mine
Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty, but I’ll give Wolfenstein 3D an honorable mention.
Doom, Duke Nukem 3d, Zak McKraken and the alien mindbenders, One Must Fall 2097
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis Truly a masterpiece or maybe I have rose tinted glasses A real puzzler with a decent amount of replayability
Going by most influential, it’d have to either be Doom or Ultima Underworld. Both of these inspired entire genre’s that still live on to this day (FPS and First-Person RPG’s like The Elder Scrolls). Personally? Ultima 7.
Gotta be TIE Fighter. X-Wing was great too, but TIE Fighter scored extra novelty points for letting us play as Imperials.
Duke Nukem II. Also love the first one. Apogee in general made some really excellent DOS games.
The strippers in Duke Nukem 3D awakened something in me
TIE Fighter! It’s the reason I really got into gaming, PC gaming specifically. Mario on NES and such were fun, but TIE Fighter was the first game I’d spend all day at school thinking about and then spend all afternoon and all weekend playing. It’s on Steam and GOG and has aged really well.
Kudos to Sid Meier’s Gettysburg, too.
Your comment totally gave me a flashback. I was always fascinated by the huge ships in the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games, and I spent soooo much time daydreaming about those games in elementary school. No internet required, just imagination!
I cannot remember the name but you got to choose between a boy character and a girl character and each stage you had to get all the collectibles to open the door. It was a 2d platformer as well.
Edit: Turns out the game is called Word Rescue.- Crystal caves, for platformers
- Loom, for graphic adventures
- Heretic, for FPS, since Doom has already been mentioned.
Edit: I actually forgot about Commander Keen. That’s THE platform game of my childhood.
Commander Keen: Episode 4 was the first game I remember vividly enough and there was always one bit I could never get past or figure out what to do next!
Supaplex and Gorillas are my go tos!
@s804 One Must Fall: 2097. This is the way.
I still have the power plant theme stuck in my head to this day.
Probably X-Com: UFO Defense. Got really into it and holy hell got angry at that game. But damn it made me want to play more!
