DOS game? Hmmm. I definatly liked Dune2. Very early style C+C, it was! Cannon Fodder is another favourite, along with Warcraft 1. Oh, and Settlers 2, although it can get horrably drawn out. Also, the game that started it all - DOOM! Managed to play through nearly the entire first act of that game just using the chainsaw! Admitedly, it was on the "I'm too young to die" setting :lol:

Star Control 2 - fun game, but more difficult to handle than a woman on a shopping spree.

i like far to many Dos games to be naming them out right, Doom, Warcraft, Settlers, but if i think back to the very first dos game i ever played and the games that made me love computer gaming then there are two games, Transport Tycoon, and Elite.

It feels just like yesterday that I was crashing the family computer with MS-DOS games. The only memorable ones that I can even list off are;

Day of the Tentacle; I love the art style, the plot was pretty fun, and the game play was pretty innovating at the time.

Hexxagon; This game is still one of my favorite games of all time. What made me happier was that neave remade it in flash for all to enjoy on his website; http://neave.com/

Hexxagon.swf


7th Guest, was another one that I enjoyed a lot was one of those early puzzle solving games.

XCOM; Who ever didn't play this game when it first came out is missing out on so much.

And this is only naming a few of the many DOS games I remember.

:cry:

First time i played it was on a believe a 98. Might have been a 95 since i can't remember that far back and the GUI looks the same for windows and we own both.
However i believe i played it for the first time half way though 2000 so maybe 2005.

Now i own Xcom 1 2 3 4 and enforcer(I hate that game so much)

Google is a noun. Googling or Googleing how ever you want to spell it is a verb.

And the answer to your question is ever since people claim google is using your personal info for evil.
Damn isp providers.

That was a dos game? i always thought of it as a 95/98 game since thats what i was using.
Doesn't seem to like fully updated XP but i remember playing it on one before and well haven't tried it on my laptop since in the back of my mind i keep thinking it's not going to work since i started with 64 bit vista and well nothing works on it until you add the power of windows 7.

Ya im just to cheap to rebuy a game i still own and it's basically just me getting off my ass and messing around with the options. If it supports dos I can most likely just set up a CDrom mount script and play it if it didn't work on windows7 64.

Just get Mos-Dos Emulator off internet, then you'll be able to play it (Should at least)

... ya i like dosbox to much. Anyway the reason why i haven't installed it yet is because im to lazy and the fact that i don't know what case it's in might also be keeping me from playing it but thats besides the point.
