What are the absolute best MS-DOS games? I was born in 1993, so I missed out on that era of gaming, and I'm currently using a toaster, so this seems like a good time to get into it. I've played Leisure Suit Larry, Daggerfall, and Day of the Tentacle so far, and enjoyed them immensely, so RPG and adventure/puzzle games recommendations would be best, although I'm open to shooters and platformers. Thanks in advance, faggots.
looks like it's time for you to start playing some doom
alternatively, when i had to use a toaster laptop inbetween pcs, i had tons of fun with commandos, vollgarr the viking and ace of spades
Luke Perry
The "Crusader" games (isometric action game, lots of different actions. Nice gfx) Stonekeep (real time roguelike but without the random generated stuff. Lots of secrets, nice voice acting, very mysterious)
You only get 2 because I'm not your personal army, faggot.
Most of the older games are uploaded to 4shared, So you would need jdownloader and a free 4shared accout for those, newer uploads use mega.co.nz.
Chase Torres
that's not even what personal army means, nigger. thanks anyway, stonekeep looks pretty cool
Zachary Gray
You can never go wrong with monkey island, they remastered it a few years back and you can switch between the older grafix and the newer ones, even comes with voice acting.
Lincoln James
I was going to mention the the Crusader games aswell. No remorse has the better story but no regret better action.
Some of the early wing commanders are ok, privateer 1 pretty fun space sims.
Daggerfall I still think if the best in the elder scrolls series.
Big Red Racing is silly and fun especially if you can get friends together for a multiplayer game.
Daniel Price
Master of orion 1 plays like a simple modern 4x game. It's seriously that good.
Wyatt Collins
Thanks for all of the suggestions so far! I already have enough to keep me busy for quite a while, but please feel free to add to the list.
Brandon Lewis
X-Wing or Tie Fighter. Great space combat sims. Hocus Pocus is an awesome platformer. Stonekeep, And Ultima Underworld are good First Person RPGs Although they weren't DOS games; Might and Magic VI and VII were great open world RPGs.
Noah Wood
>Stonekeep >Parents going through divorce >Stay at home mom with very little money buys us Stonekeep to get our minds off the divorce >Ended up just being an interactive demo that she bought at the grocery store because it was cheap. >Computer is too old even play stonekeep and run the demo >Mom asks me and my older brother if we are enjoying the game >Lie and tell her how much we enjoy it and its super fun even though never really playing it. >Didn't want to hurt our mom's feelings she tried so hard.
Instant memories this thread and when stonekeep was put up for sale on gog.
Gabriel Carter
I was considering buying the MM 6-pack on GOG for 10 bucks. Is it worth it? Does the money actually go to the developers? Should I just pirate them instead?
Alexander Gray
...
Michael Rogers
>no psychophobia
Jordan Young
Just pirate them. 3DO is long dead.
Elijah Nelson
I forgot to mention that I bought the 6 pack off the shelf way back when it was a fuck huge box of vidya. After playing the later games first I couldn't go back to the early entries.
Adam Stewart
Motherfucking ZZT
James Green
You should call your parents, they won't be here forever
Adam Gomez
So I should play them in order if I want to get maximum enjoyment out of the series? I'll keep that in mind.
Also, it's good to know that there's a surefire to create a Cred Forums thread with no shitposting: make it about games that the children on the board are too young to know or care about.
Robert Reed
is /vr/ really as dead as youre making it out to be?
Eli Bailey
Maniac Masion / Monkey Island(s) / Sam and Max Hit the Road should hold you over for a while.
If you like those, also check out Grim Fandango (a bit newer)
Colton Smith
Ultima 7
Elijah King
I honestly forgot that /vr/ existed.
Isaiah Thompson
I wouldn't worry about playing them in order to be honest. Maybe try an early game and if you like it keep going. If not jump into VI.
Joseph Ramirez
Jagged Alliance and Deadly Games.
That said, JA2 is better, but it's for Windows.
Ian Morgan
This post gave me a feel
Jayden Watson
I'm also open to Windows games, although I have a feeling I'll have a harder time running them in Windows 10 than emulated ones.
Zachary Thompson
SILENT HUNTER MOTHERFUCKERS!
Tube 1 loaded captain!
RIP silent hunter you no game this fun deserved to become a browser game.
Jonathan White
Another World. Emulate Amiga version or play Anniversary, cause the original DOS version is inferior.
Robert Green
thank you for your service
Blake Carter
Descent I and II, Jazz Jackrabbit, One Must Fall 2097
Jose Evans
>Jazz Jackrabbit I only played 2 but my nigga was a fuck game playing split screen with my bro.
yfw the water level was called generic water level because it was such a fad to have water levels.
Connor Gomez
> ...my nigga was a fuck game playing split screen with my bro
also try Z since it isnt on the list i posted
Connor Allen
I don't know.
Isaiah Garcia
You could always play those old text based adventures like Zork, if you're into that. Not DOS, but age of Empires are toaster friendly and fun.
Carter Allen
>no gay sex with hats on tab
From experience 2 is a solid game with some excellent music. Don't let the art scare you off.
Andrew Turner
it came out before degeneracy exploded due to the internet
so youre safe unless you keep looking for images of the game and not sticking to videos of gameplay like you should have done in the first place
Christian Gomez
I was mostly just making a joke and bumping the thread
Jaxson Thompson
This bitch looks like my aunt
Tyler Taylor
You know what to do.
Jacob Reyes
I'm surprised this doesn't mention SRB2
Michael Murphy
SHIT I only just saw what was circled. Thank the heavens the furries didnt get this released today.
Jacob Reyes
What do you mean user? I'd never do anything to hurt her. I'm a good boy :)
Jack Jenkins
>a good boy I bet you are.
Wyatt Kelly
Oh hell yeah. There was lots of bullshit in that game though.
Brody Turner
post a picture of your Nancy Botwin looking aunt. does she sell weed?
Oliver Edwards
Nah she's a pharmacist
I regularly jerk off into her panties when I am at her house haha
Sebastian Sanchez
so are you going to post a pic or what?
Sebastian Torres
Jagged Alliance 2
Connor Johnson
I recommend I have no mouth and I must scream. It can be a bit frustrating at points but the atmosphere is so good.
Henry Johnson
SimCity.
Seriously, it is fucking amazing, if you haven't played the original yet you owe it to yourself.
Kevin Morales
>1993 I was also born in 1993, but I had access to some older systems and played a bunch of DOS games when I was younger (thanks to commies setting back our country a good 20 years of progress). I remember playing Hocus Pocus and Commander Keen series a lot. Tried getting into the early X-Com games, but I couldn't read/speak English worth shit, so that went nowhere. Heretic and Ultima Underworld were also pretty fun. I used to have a massive library of DOS games, but I'm having problems recalling all the names.
Christopher Diaz
Romance of the Three Kingdoms III is a very good strategy game, though it takes a while to play. If you want a faster, easier game in the same vein, Gemfire is also pretty good, though the SNES version is better than the DOS one. Don't know how they fucked that up since it was originally a PC game in Japan anyway.
Leo Martin
I don't believe you, so post a picture for me.
Parker Ramirez
>I was born in 1993 LEAVE AND DON'T COME BACK, we know you dont give a single fuck about old vidya
Mason Jones
You worn born in 1993? I was born in a small village.
Nathaniel Flores
Sorry bud; I've been here for over 10 years at this point.
Owen Carter
>One Must Fall 2097 Aw yeah. That soundtrack was great.
I used to play an MS-DOS game that had a blue robot in it.
Can't remember the name.
Help a brother out. Pic related.
Alexander Sanchez
I tried playing some Zyclunt the other day, I'm mounting shit and running the thingy on the thingy and all that shit but still can't get it to work.
Joshua Reed
Typing wolf.exe from DOS is engraved in my memory.
Also I remember the prince of Persia game and commander keen working on it.
Aaron Sanchez
you might have to kajigger your memory size and clock speed
Jacob Lewis
What kind of game was it?
Anthony Reed
an old one
Jackson Gomez
where's the resolution where you dont have to plaster your face on the screen?
Wyatt Foster
She needs a really good dicking
Jonathan Cruz
just zoom in.
Easton Bailey
Star Control 2 is the answer you are looking for. Fantastic game.
Joseph Gray
The genre is space exploration and it has rpg elements. The game is fucking sick so just try it out.
Thomas Sanchez
I really liked Desert Strike.
Benjamin Wright
added them to the list
Mason Perez
Star Trek 25th Anniversary and Judgment Rites. Fantastic point and click adventure games that play like the fourth season of classic Trek. The CD version has the original cast voicing their roles too. You're gonna want the manual though since the star map functioned as anti piracy.
Jackson Perez
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I installed Star Trek 25th Anniversary, too. I found the starmap online easily enough.
Samuel Smith
I was born in 1990
you have no excuse
you enjoyed daggerfall? i did too, but you should just kys.
I recommend all build-engine shooters, especially duke 3d
i recommend all doom engine shooters, especially heretic/hexen
i recommend all commander keen games
actually, every apogee game is pretty fucking good
you should also play space sims like wing commander 3, xwing vs tie fighter, etc
you should also play strategy tactics RPGs like jagged alliance and xcom
you should also play stuff like warlords 2
you should also play games like dungeons of moria, dungeons of the unforgiven, etc etc etc
i could go on on foreeeeverrrr
i could go on forever
Julian Roberts
We never had a DOS machine in the house. How was I supposed to play games on something we didn't own?
Connor Gutierrez
Its not one of your preferred genres, but original X-COM is great
Cooper Walker
As kid losing that manual was hell
Easton Evans
98% of these dont even run on dos, kys.
there's lots of good wolfenstein 3d mods too.
by the way,
if you like crusader no remorse / no regret, play brigador. it's like a modern version of that.
also check out home of the underdogs, great website
check out abandonia
there's a lot ot sort through.
obviously MOO, MOM, CIV, Coloniziation, etc
fucking slipstream 5000
i dunno theres so cmuh
so much i cant even start.
Z is good, jazz jackrabbit is good
