Im 20 years old and my favorit game was Jazz Jackrabbit. Still miss it.

I'm 23 years old and my favorite DOS games were Jazz Jackrabbit, Blue Brothers and Prehistorik 2. I used to played another game which i can't remember the name, had so much fun with those games. I miss those epic times, when i need to install an OS with floppy disks.

Heh. In mid-nineties here we had those awesome Crazy Collection CDs, though it was quite hard to hunt them down, and BBSes were very rare in our parts (though I still ran one). Check out the list.

I'm 23,The first games i used to play on DOS were supaplex,prince of persia,wolfenstein 3d,lotus,alladin,lion king,the jungle book game.
Then later there was duke nukem 3d(i took 1st place in a championship in my country when i was 9 lol) ,shadow warrior,C&c ,red alert 1,carmageddon,worms!!!
Yeah a they are a lot,those were good times hell,so much nostalgia

I m 24, fav DOS games : DAVE,DOOM

Mid 30's. The 90's were a decade of amazing technological advance and that carried over to games of course.

For example the first PC I got had only a monochrome display. Graphics cards went from those standards, most notably VESA for the DOS age gaming, but also exploring 3D in addon and combination cards. My last rig of the nineties featured two cards powered by 3Dfx chips. The CPUs went from low MHz to GHz, early ones would not have a floating point unit at all or as an additional chip. Clock speeds were to be tinkered with, at least by the famous turbo buttons, but on the CPU or motherboard as well. A new generation of CPU were shattering the old ones to pieces, so you were upgrading your CPU or even the whole box at about the speed of Moore's law. Other technology was established as well, most notably sound cards, which in the early days were the method of choice to connect the new CD-ROM drives as each manufacturer used a different connection cable and protocol until they settled with ATAPI.

But there's another tech that grew and matured in that age that is often overlooked: networking. I remember playing games that could connect to my friend's PC by direct modem link or nullmodem. I soldered lots of those cables... And when chosing the new motherboard for a new CPU generation, the second most important factor for me was that it featured a UART16550 that allowed much higher transmission speeds. At that time, computer mice were plugged into the PC by the serial port as well, so gaming rigs that were used for nullmodem connections were a driving factor to establish PS/2 connectors, as that freed up a precious serial port ;)

Then came 10Base2 and brought IPX networking that allowed for far more networked computers and at a much higher speed than modem connections could achieve. But coax cables were a pain, they broke often and the need for termination on both sides of the bus meant everyone had to quit their network games and file copies to allow for a new PC to join or another one to leave the network. 10BaseT to the rescue! We had to ditch all our cables and old addon cards were rendered useless, but it was fast and easy to change the number of devices. PCs were quite expensive, but I hauled it to LAN parties regularly, even if that meant to spend a lot of time negotiating on protocols and changing address spaces or fine tuning everyones boot configurations.

Speaking of which, 640K of memory was obviously not enough when it came to gaming. EMS/XMS configs and of course the extender software products like DOS4GW helped a lot, but juggling graphics, sound card, network, mouse and other drivers manually (and even physically by flipping DIP switches) was a vital skill that got obsolete after the 90's.

This rapid progress led to the birth of first person shooters and that is the genre that takes my most memorable gaming experiences. Most people will say Doom or Duke Nukem 3D here, but my top spot is claimed by Descent. Full 6 degrees of freedom, polygon models, dynamic colored lighting and stuff, packed with multiplayer in either co-op, deathmatch and team modes. Other honorable mentions are Diablo and Formular One Grand Prix. I remember we were playing F1GP over direct serial connection for months when one of our mates called from a vacation and told us they sell F1GP with LAN support over there as well. We had him buy copies of the game for everyone of us. Yes, we all bought that game two times!

Im 21 and my favorite old game is doom 1 and 2 on ps1... You are not old as a 27 year old player, my grandpa plays xbox 360 (gta iv) so dont you worry lol

16, I love the first two TES, but they bug the hell out of my computer/: At my friends PC they run fine..

But still, they ARE good and I'm still watching every attempt to remake them so that I can play them with all the cool feautures like climbing walls and stuff(:

I'm 25 and I think my favourite DOS game is Lemmings

I'm 20. I think my favourite DOS game is Carmageddon.

22, and my favorite DOS game is Tyrian 2000. Lemmings 2 and Prince of Persia also deserve a mention.

My most favourite was Civ 1 :) I can also mention Battleships, Sokoban, Doom, Quake and others.

I'm 23 yrs and 1 day old now. My favourite DOS game was Skyroads, infact I even played it last year using some DOS program emulator thing.
