Reccomend me some DOS games.
« on: August 27, 2011, 11:59:11 am »
So I've got the DS DOS thing from the hurricane gaming thread working with Civilization and the two Dune games, and I'm about halfway through the compatibility list, but I thought I should ask you guys what else is good to go look up. Any suggestions?

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

If you like scrolling shooters, I would strongly recommend Tyrian 2000. It has good graphics, excellent music and a nice dose of humor.

I loved Commander Keen when I was younger. It had a ton of secrets to discover, especially if you could decipher the alphabet. Episodes 4 and 5 were the best, IMO.

SimAnt does not work.
Prince of Persia randomly seems to crash. :/

SimFarm works somewhat, I think. TTD? Maybe. I'd go for the original Railroad Tycoon.

The original X-Com.
Practically the only DOS game I've gone through the trouble of running myself.

What a strange and beautiful world I beheld, but dangerous too, I was certain. And I was friendless and homeless. And so I prayed.
"Hear me, exalted spirits. Hear me be you gods or devils, ye who hold dominion here. I am a wizard without a home. I am a wanderer seeking refuge."

Master of magic.

Also I hear daggerfall is pretty good.


I concur with ultima vii parts i and ii

What else... ulti,a underworld I, maybe.

Oh, and the x-com games.

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.
