Greetings fellow pilots.
I have no idea about you guys, but I grew up with games. Games that were mainly accessible via DOS. I have some really good memories about some of these games. So a couple of years ago I decided to try and find them and play them. I managed to find them but sadly enough I did not manage to run them on my computer. Now today I tried again and I came across DosBox no idea if you guys know this but it's great imo. So I decided to share it with you guys.
Here is the link " http://www.dosbox.com/ "
Next to that I would like to share with you my favorite old-school game of all time! Trugg, You're a small robot-like creature who has to solve levels of some kind, but speed is also required, it's really loads of fun. It also has an editor.
Here is a site with allot of DOS games (Trugg also but not the full version) http://www.dosgames.com/g_puz3.php Here is the link to Download the full Trugg version. http://www.abandonia.com/en/downloadgame/28720
Next to that I would also like it if you guys could share some of your favorite DOS games so I can try em out. |

THIS! Plus The Bards Tale, Ultima series 1-5, System Shock 2, Dark Forces, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, Unreal, and many of the ones Barrakus mentioned.
PS. Apparently Firaxis is doing a new X-Com strategy game. PVP is a question with no single right answer, but a lot of wrong ones. |

For me it was the old AD&D 2ND Edition Gold Box Series of RPG's .
I played them (and finished them) ALL but Spelljammer and Neverwinter Nights.
The Pool of Radiance Forgotten Realms series (developed internally at SSI): Pool of Radiance (1988) Curse of the Azure Bonds (1989) Secret of the Silver Blades (1990) Pools of Darkness (1991) Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures (1993)
The Savage Frontier Forgotten Realms series (developed by Stormfront Studios): Gateway to the Savage Frontier (1991) Treasures of the Savage Frontier (1992) Neverwinter Nights, the first graphical MMORPG, for AOL (1991) <--- I even remember paying a ton of long distance calls only to find out I couldnt connect at all to it from latinamerica meh :(
The Dragonlance series (developed internally at SSI): Champions of Krynn (1990) Death Knights of Krynn (1991) The Dark Queen of Krynn (1992)
The Buck Rogers series: Countdown to Doomsday (1990) Matrix Cubed (1992)
**** From Sierra:
Space Quest 1 to 6
My Favorite so far Space Quest 3 and 4.
Police Quest 1 to 3
Favorite one being Police Quest 3
The New Gen Sierra Online games that werent Parsers but point and click like:
Conquest of the Longbow: Legend of Robin Hood
Also ANYTHING GABRIEL KNIGHT <----- Can't stress this long enough, best damn mystery game of the time and even today, also by Sierra Online, long before OLD Bioware was making their classic jewels Sierra Online created masterpieces.
Also almost ANYTHING from LucasArts in the era, DOTT being the king in my collection alongside The Dig and Grim Fandango
Oh and a nice wonderful tale, LEGEND OF KYRANDIA
Also if you like dark games, try Darkseed That stupid game freaked me out when I was younger, to this day I still remember the silly baby's craddle filled with hovering ectoplasm and weird creepy music.
So many nice games in the past. Where all you had was a solid story to go through that didnt require much beyond a good plot, extremely funny jokes or innuendo and solid characters. Today everything is about the voiceovers ... meh.

-XCOM (1&2) has already been mentioned but it really needs repeating. If you haven't played it, you've missed on a lot. -Master of Orion (1&2). Still regarded as one of if not THE best space 4X's. -Star Control II. Yet another classic space combat/adventure. A free modernized version goes by the name The Ur-quan masters. -Settlers (1&2) give a little different perspective for the real time strategy. You get to manage the production priorities instead of units. - Lucasarts' adventure games. Sam and Max hit the road, The day of the tentacle and The Dig are well worth checking. - Wolfenstein 3D and Doom. The original FPS's. Duke 3D, Blood, Heretic, Hexen, Shadow warrior and The rise of the triad had also their own good points. |

One must fall - Epic robot fighting game in the spirit of street fighter and such : Back when a 6 floppy disk install was BIG
Bioforge - A great third person RPG that was just awesome for it's time
Warcraft - The game that got me hooked on computers period
Wing commander privateer - God knows how many hours i spent trolling the space lanes
Hexen - If you haven't played hexen you have missed out
The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.
One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear. |

You might want to check the games collection in Home of the Underdogs as well, it's slow but they got loads of stuff.
Too many good games to count, but here's some more that have not been mentioned yet I think - Alpha Centauri (civ sequal) - Alien Legacy - XCOM 3 Apocalypse is different from 1 and 2 but fun - Master of Magic
A good XCOM remake is UFO Extraterrestrials (Gold edition). Part 2 is under development. Xenonauts is also looking promising. I feel very skeptical about Firaxis XCOM: Enemy Unknown remake, as it is obviously targeted for console so will probably be crap. FIRE FRIENDSHIP TORPEDOES ! |

I really liked the original Might & Magic series. Played 3, 4 and 5. I think they were the first really "sandboxy" games I played.
Also, many of the already mentioned games: the X-Com games, Master of Orion 1 & 2, System Shock and of course all the old adventure games from Lucasfilm Games, as Lucas Art called themself back in the day. I think I really played all of them (Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken, Monkey Island 1 & 2, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Indiany Jones and the Fate of Atlantis etc.)
So many games that I can't remember at the moment... |

Lots of good old dos games are available at http://www.gog.com/. The games there come with dosbox and you won't have to figure out how to set up dos settings as they've been preconfigured.
I miss the games like: Planescape Torment Baldur's Gate I and II Fallout I and II Master of Orion 2 Lands of Lore Eye of the Beholder I and II Duke Nukem 3D (was great lan game) Frontier: First Encounters ...and many of those that have been already mentioned. |

Aces over the Pacific and Orgin Game about pacific war. Aces over Europe also was hot!
Not to mention Origin gave us the FANTASTIC game "Privateer" was space based and far advanced and more original than the garbage we get today. They also made a flight sim. They also created and built the MMO generation with UO until EA screwed it up. They are the fathers of MMO's and UO was a fantastic success. |

I can't believe you guys are busy ranting about Wing Commander and Civilization and you seem to have completely forgotten about Command and Conquer! This game series was good back then, you have the first command and conquer obviously and then red alert which was later put out for Windows 95.
Both of which don't play on my PC properly anymore :( |
