Any body like old DOS games?
Any body like old DOS games? I love them and play them all the time using the DOSBOX emulator. (The Space Quest series and the old Carmen Sandiego games are some of my favorites)

The original Command & Conquer and Red Alert were both DOS/Win95, I believe!
Sadly they won't run on XP, but I assume if I look around I can download something that will let me play them...

It's sad that most people tend to turn their noses down on old games in favor of X-BOX stuff, but I think that some of the best games ever are from the early '90's and late 80's. Plus you don't need a big bag system to play them, just use an old pc you can probaly pick up for free and play!Me wrote:You guys are my heroes... I keep an old 8086 around just to play ancient games on DOS 3.3. And Space Quest is one of the best games ever. Sierra is re-releasing all of them in a $20 collection that is winXP compatible this Christmas. I can't wait. I think I'll be picking up that and King's Quest.

There are good DOS games, sure... but when I think gaming in the 80's and early 90's, I think the original Nintendo.rickyderocher wrote:It's sad that most people tend to turn their noses down on old games in favor of X-BOX stuff, but I think that some of the best games ever are from the early '90's and late 80's.

The Great Underground Empire will rise again.
Eventually.
Once I take care of those grue infestations.

"Sonuna" Taranimak ("Sonuna" Sharkquill) has been content lately. She admired own very fine Bed recently. She talked with a parent recently. She talked with a friend recently. She had a good meal recently. She admired a fine tastefully-arranged Desk recently.
She is a citizen of The United States of America. She is a member of The State of Minnesota. She is a member of The Town of Odyssey.
"Sonuna" Taranimak likes Bauxite, Copper, Green jade, the color navy, cloaks, ballistas, cats for their aloofness and hydras for their seven heads. When possible, she prefers to consume Dr Pepper and ramen.
She lives at a relaxed pace. She tends to avoid crowds. She has a fertile imagination. She is completely disorganized. She is very distant and reserved. She tends not to openly express emotions. She needs caffeine to get through the working day.
