Old DOS Games

[Beerjerk]

I downloaded the DOSBox emulator the other day and downloaded some oldschool DOS game roms.

So far I've been playing:

The Immortal
Prince of Persia
Wasteland

Any other classic DOS games I should look into?

[sleestak]

Barbarian, thexder, janitor joe, monkey island 1,2,3 that or any old lucasarts adventure game.

Jumpman and H.E.R.O.

Just curious....How do you play old DOS games on a Windows computer nowadays? Is there an emulator you can download?

I wouldn't mind firing up some old school Lode Runner...

I think you have to have the games already; Somehow there is a way to transfer the games to an Android device. I read that it works for point-and-click games but there is no mention if it works for anything else.

I am getting a new Android phone next month so I will look into this some more later..

Cinemaware had some great titles back in the day. This one was way ahead of its time for a sports game. You could customize the teams, adjust player attributes, ect. It had cool game introductions by an animated sports host. My favorite part was there were about 5 kinds of savage dunks a player would throw down. I had it on PC, but it was available for Amiga and even TurboGraphx 16.

LucasArts SCUMM adventure games FTW. Also all the weird ass shareware shit we'd get from this badass store Computer Bug that sold shareware and like "free" games for $1-2 a 5-1/4" disk. Barely any profit surely and an AWESOME service! We found tons of games there as little kids. Thanks, dad! Eventually got into dial up BBSes and found shit like Doom and Quake shareware but the early disk days were awesome.

[sleestak]

Flightmare.  Sopwith 2, zork, wishbringer.

My dad bought us a leading edge brand ibm clone instead of a gaming console.  It had two disk drives (5.25) and 4 megs of ram and I think the following year for Christmas we got 4 more megs for a whopping 8 megs.  Steep curve as kids but we learned it and changed our course for sure.

Y'all fuck with Commander Keen?

[socket]

Yes commander keen shareware at least in 4 color CGA with pc speaker sound. Was an awesome game. Also, our computer had ONE meg of ram and our one Christmas was a 4mb upgrade to 5 total.

[renfield]

My mom wrote a "games.bat" script that printed a menu of all the games, numbered, and then we typed "1" and it launched eg Prince of Persia or "2" for Commander Keen.

Such was my privileged upbringing...
