The Town of Odyssey

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)

I've only played Commander Keen...but I love it!

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...

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.

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!

There are good DOS games, sure... but when I think gaming in the 80's and early 90's, I think the original Nintendo.

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

(okay, so that probably wasn't really what you had in mind, but still...)

And thanks to the miracle of modern emulation, I can play all those games on my computer and Xbox now!

I wish our old Compaq or Windows 3.1 still worked, because I still have all my old games and have no way to play them!

I loved playing Mille Born and Where in the World is Carman games. Actually My younger sister got a new Hardrive on her computer and she's partiioned some of it so she can actually play some of the old MS DOS games.

Roger Wilco from Space Quest II.

Ooo... Well i like old games period... In Fact I have an Old Commodore 64 computer (thats fun) & an old Atari 2600 (not that next generation 'Atari Flash backs' I'm talkin' about the real deal here). And that means, Yes i do like old DOS games. My favorite is Wolfenstien 3D, That game is FUn!

where you can download my Snow Crazy and Toony Quest's games.
(They are in .d64 format which you can emulate in WINVice, the best Commodore 64 emulator for Windows)

I still play tons of DOS games...

Star Command (1, 2 & 3)...
Lemmings
Tyrian

Wolfenstein 3D (too gory for me now...but still a classic)
DOOM
One Must Fall 2097
Arena
Scorched Earth
Sherlock (has been updated to 32-bit WIN environment, but the old one is still good)
Descent
Capture the Flag
Catacombs
Duke Nukem
Quake
X-Wing
and a truck load of others.

I loved Kings Quest. The first computer game I played was Kings Quest 4 and was hooked! I've played all the Kings Quests, Space Quests and the Police Quests. They totally rocked!

I have great memories of them because my dad and I used to play them together.

Ooo, we have that one! Are Sam1, Crystal Caves, and Captain Comic DOS games? We have those also, and I should get them out again!
