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!

Theme Park. So classic.

I didn't play it on DOS, though it also saw a DOS release, but Syndicate would be high on my list.

Carmageddon was a late DOS release that I liked.

I never did actually get around to The Ancient Art of War, though I did want to play that.

I didn't play it on DOS, though it saw a DOS release, but the original Sim City aged pretty well.

Probably Lotus Racing (ran off one floppy), then Quake 1 and Carmageddon 1. Never really gamed much after those few.

It's gotta be DOOM! The first game to introduce me to PC Gaming outside of Minesweeper and Solitaire!

Not to be the hispter, but my fav. is a very niche game called "Het Yogo Yogo Spel", it's a promotional game for a drink in the Netherlands. for some reason i have such strong nostalgic feelings for it, i really loved playing it as a kid and even more as an adult because it reminds me of that time so much. and no, it's not an amazing platformer (not bad either) but man...

Heroes of Might and Magic II, I still will fire it up to play occasionally! I have so many fond memories of me and my dad playing into the long hours of the night.

I got into ZZT, a "topdown" 2d game with its own map editor and even a rudimentary scripting language. Stumbled on it because I wanted to make games. People made some seriously impressive shit on that thing and its successors.

Supaplex and Gorillas are my go tos!

Crusader: No Remorse/No Regret

Sometimes I wish they made an FPS reboot, then I remember EA owns it.

ZZT was an amazing game where you could make your own games and program "objects" using a simple scripting language. It was my first programming language.

It was Tim Sweeney's first game. I've never played Fortnight.

Every once on a while i get back to Mad TV. Casual game before it was cool. Also Indiana Jones: Fate of Atlantis

Hard to say. Secret Agent, Treasure Mountain, Azrael's Tear, Chill Manor, etc. All solid games. Hard to pick just one.

Star Command was my favorite. Loved recruiting crew members, buying and upgrading ships, and going around the galaxy to complete missions. It's the game that got me hooked on RPGs as a kid

DOOOOM, the first actually good game that i played as a kid. I went from tetris to doom and it was insane haha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Space Hulk would definitely be mine

Gunship 2000. Shit was amazing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ultima series.

Star Control II for sure. Fantastic game, still one of the best story-based games I've played. Heavily inspired a lot of more modern franchises, too, including Mass Effect.
