View Full Version : What's your favourite DOS game?
I had so many, I find it hard to decide which I liked most.
> Money Island 1 & 2
> Full Throttle
> Carmageddon
> Command & Conquer
> Beneath a Steal Sky
> Quake
> Doom
I mean, how do you pick?! I was always a big fan of puzzle games like the Monkey Island series, but loved the smash and crash of Carmageddon!
:shock:

the first proper pc game i played was wolfenstein on a compaq 386sx20 - with sound on the speaker! bleep bleep bloop bop bop bop bleeep bzzzzz!
I miss point and click adventure games - Beneath a Steel Sky, Indiana Jones and the Fate Of Atlantis, Monkey Island etc
There are loads on my shelf at home that i wish i could play again but dont have the time
I've never been able to get Beneath a Steel Sky to work since they introduced Windows :(
It won't work on any Windows platform, and DOS is gone now, so I can't play it on my machine at all.
I'm considering either trying to use VMware to get it running, or I might actually consider building the lowest spec old machine I can manage to play it on :wink:
im sure i got BASS to work on ScummVM....
Ishar i think it was called.
I was very young though, but it was a kewl game.
Can remember playing Monkey Island, but always had problem getting past the same bit.
Can picture it tho 8)
Day of the Tenticle was good, but for some reason beyond me I never got around to playing Sam and Max!

Day of the Tenticle was kewl, I loved it when you could start playing the original from within it :)
Doom has to be up there on my list, I remember my Mum used to like playing that, loved finding the secret doors. Wasn't too good at shooting stuff tho

Maniac Mansion! I had that on the NES! :D
Thinking of Hidden features, anyone remember the flying thing in Excel 97 ?
Didn't it have an imbedded flight simulator? 8)
yeap,
Can't quite remeber how you got to it now
Was something like , Edit -> Goto XL97 then Help -> About and sumut else
Havn't got Excel 97 anymore :(
Shame as it was nice and stable,
I hated Excel 2000, It would just start doing stuff that I didn't want it to do :evil: ( mostly formating related )
but at least 2003 is stable now ( I few things broken IMHO, but I have work arounds )
Restart Excel 97 .
Open a new blank document .
Press F5 .
A reference box will open , type in X97:L97 and press ENTER .
Press TAB .This will take you to the cell M97 .
Click on the chart wizard button while holding down Control and Shift keys .
Presto ! You are in Flight Simulator

This was a wierd game , but kept me entertained for Hours
Carmageddon
Toonstruck
I played Little Big Adventure, 1 or 2, can't remember which nor can I remember what happened. All I know is that I loved it.
I've never played DotT or Sam and Max.

yeah , Little Big Adventure 2, it was great , but like yourself I can't really remember what it was about
You were some bloke in a silly dress with a bouncy ball as a weapon.
And you could talk Elephant men. But then again I might be totally wrong :)
Think we have a copy of Excel 97 here actually :D
Just found Microsoft Windows NT Workstation Setup Disk 2 Floppy :D
Also Winzip Version 2.0 on a floppy Disk :D

Winzip, pah , Zip Magic Ruled :)
I tried it from a Mag Cover Disk, loved it so went to their site and bought it , can't remember how much is was now, about 30 DM or somthing like that. The realy kewl thing was I thought it was just a download Version but about a week later a full retail box landed on my doorstep.
I used Winzip until Windows ME came along, that has zip files built into it if I remember rightly.
And of course XP does as well, but I always use Winrar for everything now.
Doom.
Duke Nukem
EF2000 (I think that was dos)
Syndicate Wars (though that might have been win 95)

Yeah I think Microsoft bought the Zip Magic guys, zip folders were first in win98 if I remember correctly
Duke Nukem 3D , yeap I remember it well
\"Its time to kick a ss and chew Bubble gum\"
Was a little seedy as well, Strip joint and blue flicks in little Cubicles
you could even flash some cash for a little action

Btw, it was LBA2 - Twinsen's Adventure..? that I played.
yeah, thats the one I think !!
its scarry as I usually have a good memory but this has me all :?
Think I shall have to see if I can buy it somewhere, when I played it I borrowed it from a friend, kept hold of it for weeks.
I shouldn't have too much of a problem getting it to run on Linux
I seem to remember he used to make panting noises when running
and little girly ( no offence to the Ladies ) screams when hurt
and for the day the graphics were quite stunning

Yeah my friend lent it to me for a few weeks. It's funny how I remember all the old 3D games to have much smoother graphics...
I still play Quake regularly online (fvf.servequake.com is a great server) and I liked alot of the SCUMM-based games like Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle. Never really liked Doom.

Day Of The Tentacle was a fantastic game, especially if you had the full speech version! Those were the days!

Yeah brings back the memories and of course Monkey Island as already mentioned, never got the last one in the series and also Sam and Max was good. Now been resurrected as a series of episodes. :)
Yeah, I had the CD version with full speech. Fantastic game (DoTT)
As for Sam & Max, I thought they were missing, presumed Xbox?
You are all young aren't you. I used to play Hero on CPM and actually wrote it in assembler for the NASCOM home computer when I worked for them???? also designed a colour graphics card and 'disk drives' (single sided single density) on the NASCOM as well.
