How old are you? And for the oldies, What's your favorite DOS game?

Pretty much defines my childhood as well.

I am 19 as well. I love(d) to play Age of Empires, which was the first game I ever played, as well as Command and Conquer Red Alert 1.

I also grew up with the Playstation consoles and I simply love the exclusives. The first game I played, being Spyro the Dragon, is still very fun to play even in our time, especially the sequel "Spyro: Gateway to Glimmer", or, as some might know it by the title "Spyro: Ripto's Rage". The Spyro trilogy is fantastic and I would definitely recommend people to try them out.

Edit: I forgot to mention Doom 1 and Doom 2. I spend countless of hours playing those games. And do not forget Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2! And then also the game called "Silver". Great memories. Ah well, time to replay the games. Even though they are old they are still great games.

Edit 2: I actually just dug forth some old CD casettes with some interesting old games i played! "Pitfall", "Flying Corpse Gold", and "Disney Classics" (Compilation of the three DOS games, Aladdin, The Lion King, and Jungle Book.) Being amongst the games.

This post has awoken a strong nostalgic feeling inside me. :/ ...Hurts...

You're pretty much me. Except I never got to play Driver 1 and it was Vice City, not San Andreas.

Yeah, those classics never die!

haha! I renember that pack! Raptor was fantastic and Wacky Wheels made me feel sick back then, I didn't know if that was because the speed, the cheesy Mario Kart feeling or the graphics XD

Wasn't that a native Windows game?

Yeah, Im a massive fan of the Gothic series too! (I have the ArcaniA one but I don't have the stomach to play it) they were the perfect exploration RPG to me! But I was asking about the game of the 90's before windows XP and things like that.

Yeah, Gabriel Knight was fantastic!

"Cabrit sans cor!"

+1 for the best era of games!

Yeah! That was just badass! I played a lot of "X-Wing VS Tie Fighter" too!

Oh man, I played endless hours of X-Wing and TIE-Fighter... and Wing Commander in the years before that.

Hands down my favorite. Invested in a good thrust master to play that and I STILL have the CDs.

This. This so much.

Oh hell yes.

Yeah, all of them were the shit. About Carmageddon, I renember when the Carmageddon 2 demo came out, you could modify the game setting in a txt in the game folder, change things like gravity, speed, ect, and making crazy stuff with the cars and pedestrians in low gravity.

Wolfenstein!

Yeah, that game is pretty much perfect! 20 years from now people will still love it.

He's never used the disk operating system operating system guys.

hahaha! true :P

man, I was SCARED of those elephant doctors with their killer balls at the beginning of the game!

I was the autoexec.bat and config.sys master! Mine were so finely tuned that I didn't need to mess with them much though... except with Ultima VII: The Black Gate which had the Voodoo memory manager, a.k.a. the worst thing ever invented. I needed a special boot floppy just to get that one to play as I recall.

I'm gonna join this section as I'm also 45 and DOS....well it was the best of times and the worst of times xD I played Legacy, 7th Guest, Myst, Epic Pinball, Chip's Challenge, Doom I&2, Wolfenstein, Dark Forces, Duke Nukem. There were some games that needed boot disks and I remember there being 4-8 disks to install the game. Memory was limited and I played on a 386 with Windows for Workgroups 3.11 lol How times have changed...

lol! Im afraid the first and only Zork I ever played was "Zork: Grand Inquisitor". Do you know a game called Dragon's Lore?

MC Frontalot - It Is Pitch Dark

Didn't Zork work on DOS too? I could have sworn I played that...

ya, i never played on DOS. my cousin did, which i was always envious of.
i had Apple my entire childhood.
also owned an Apple IIe, in our household.

Carmen Sandiago, Oregon Trail, Dark Forces 2, Doom. i know there were loads more, i had a ton of floppy disc with games copied onto them cause my parents generally didnt like buying games for me themselves, so i had to go to my other cousins who also owned an Apple

I played Zork on a PDP-08 when it was coded.

Aha, Zork for Apple II was the first computer game I bought with my own money, still remember the copy protection too. The prologue on the floppy disk data fields were changed from D5-AA-AD to D5-AA-BC, pretty lazy but I guess things were simpler then... :)

man, you missed very good oldies..

I never played the M&M series, but I wasted a insane amount of time the Heroes of M&M! Specially the 2 amd 3! That old New Computer Entertaiment intro logo with the Sword and the Earth!

Never played God of Thunder, I googled it and reminds me a lot another game called Sauron, it was a freeware game that came with at spanish magazine I used to buy a lot and I think it was a spanish ripoff of God of Thunder, because both look almost the same!

Holy shit, I played that. I have been trying to remember the name of that forever! was loads of fun.. wonder if I still have it laying around somewhere in a shoebox...

Ha! I renember when some friend lend me a Disk with a LucasArt game and when they asked you for a code to verify the copy my heart just broken, and I had to wait to my friend to come the next day with the guide.
