Old dos games thread

[darkschneider]

Give a little info on your favorite old dos games, and if you feel like it --why they are your favorite.

I liked Death Rally, one of the last Dos games I had. It was a top down racer with excellent music, good graphics, and a gritty theme. It was just good.

I also remember Raptor Call of the Shadows. A top down shooter where you were a mercenary flying a high performance jet. Again: it had good graphics, and you could buy stuff for your jet.

Some other games I liked but won't go into so much detail:
-Halloween Harry/Alien Carnage (same game, different name)
-Commander Keen series
-One Must Fall 2097 (one of the few shareware games I actually registered, an absolutely brilliant game)
-Stunts/4D Stunt Driving (you could build your own tracks!)
-Megarace
-Street Rod and Street Rod 2

Commander Keen and Monster splat were 2 of my favourites.

The Comander Keen Series & Scorched Earth Rule all dos Games!!! ;D

Comander Keen had the type of gameplay that had great replay value and was challenging along with being fun. (i remember when i was little that combo was tough to find in pc games)

Scorched Earth i still play occasionally to this day, its is a great mulitplayer game to enjoy with friends chillin by the pc & it has unique/timeless fun gameplay. It plays similar to Gunbound for those who've never heard of it.

Screamer, I forgot to mention that. Definately is up high in my favorites list. The graphics were darn good in that game, with not a high system requirement. For some reason my copy doesn't run on my XP machines. I always drove the Yankee with a manual trans, it was the only car that didn't look like all the others -for the most part.

Shadow Warriors, that's when I got into the shooter genre.
