DOS Box Games

Hello everyone, I was just wondering if anybody else plays DOS Box Emulator games. I personally play Master of Orion (MoO) and I love it! Anybody else have suggestions as to what I can play on the emulator?

 

I remember the game Xargon being freaking awesome, IDK if it's in that box, but it was a DOS game. :D

 

I've played a few DOS games in my time, predominately those made by Apogee Software (which then came to be known as 3D realms). Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure comes to mind, as well as Commander Keen and the original Duke Nukem platformers.

My favourite, however, would have to be Biomenace; I mean, look at that sexy ass mullet.



I believe it's freeware now, which is great because it means I can have convenient, free nostalgia-trips from time to time.

 

Hmm, off the top of my head...

• Master of Magic
• Liero (very moddable, too!)
• C-Dogs (Fantastic co-op!)
• Triplane Turmoil
• The Lost Vikings
• Commander Keen series
• Scorched Earth (or Tank Wars if you're that way inclined)
• Worms
• Abuse
• Rogue (the original :)
• Reaping the Dungeon (much overlooked, awesome roguelike)
• Ancient Domains Of Mystery (a.k.a ADOM)
• Nethack
• Carmageddon
• Wacky Wheels
• Quake

Of course, there are far more great DOS games than I ever played, so feel free to try one out if it looks interesting! :D

If you end up downloading a bunch of games from Abandonia, do consider throwing a few bucks their way; Without those guys we would lose much of our gaming history into obscurity! :D

I guess I should sort them in some order of awesome, ey...
[EDIT] got about 1% of the way through and realised h0ow fking huge the list is. First bunch are sorted, then you're on your own! ^__^

 

I just downloaded a few games from my childhood. They're all fun but pretty fucking obscure and wierd:
D/Generation: isometric puzzle/shooter
Pushover: ant based domino simulator
Moonbase: Simcity on the moon. Good luck finding a manual online.

 

You're welcome. ;)

 

Witchaven.
Game's as good as I remembered it ! :)

I also remember playing Fortress of Dr. Radiaki (or something around these lines), Jazz Jackrabbit, Commander Keen...

 

I enjoy playing Daggerfall on DOSBox

 

OMGG MOOOOOONBASE
thank you!

 

Thanks, everyone. I'm still considering whether or not to move from Master of Orion to the other games... :/ Its an awesome game! And yes, Abandonia is a really good site! :) I'll probably check them out later. Again, thanks everyone!

 

Fancy stuff. You may want to use a front-end. I recommend DBGL (DOSBox Game Launcher), is multiplatform.

I'm using D-Fend Reloaded at the moment.

Just curious, but was King Arthur's World a good game? Also, WE MUST INSPIRE OTHERS TO REACH BACK THROUGH THE DECADES OF THE GAMES! Not many people today like old games. :(

 

Well, get on it then. ;)

 

Use frontend -> runs out of the box.

 

Erm, i know few games i know which are avalible for android/iOS but they ay as well as be for other emulators...
Delver
Questlord

 

ERH MAH GERHD.

I love you, officially. My dad brought Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure home one day, and I played the FUCK out of it. My first Windows 3.1 game.

 

Anybody played StarCraft or Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri? I know they're fairly new compared to these games (made in 1999 I think) but they're still pretty old.

 

StarCraft is FAR from a DOS game.

 

Aren't games from 1970-1990s DOSBox Games? What about Alpha Centauri?
