Favourite dos games

Terra Nova. Possible the best game I've ever played - it felt so ahead of its time.

Damn straight!

Just remembered another one, LBA! what a game

did you ever try that co-op over a modem? not great

Those days were long before the luxuries of Null and Dial up modems hit my house

Did play it two-player on my PC with my mate though.

Full Throttle
Doom
Hexen 2
Pandemonium

Only trouble is running Windows XP can't run any of the old DOS games at all.

I love all the point and click adventures. Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle, etc. LucasArts really ruled the PC games market back then.

Not to mention TIE Fighter. I think TIE Fighter must still rank as my favourite Star Wars game of all time. It had had the two main ingredients for any good license - the right atmosphere and excellent gameplay.

* Aaron fondly remembers his Imperial pilot career, disabling rebel cargo ships with his ion cannons and dog fighting with enemy A-wings

Did anyone else get MS Flight Simulator free with the MS-DOS 6.22 upgrade? I was amazed by the graphics, I remember. Shame it was so boring to play really.

If you want to play some other the other games that you may not be able to find or get working on XP then it may be worth looking at an Amiga emulator as lots of the games were on that (ROTT, Fury of the Furries, Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle, Chuckie Egg, Speedball 2, Gods, etc).

My favorite DOS games would have to be Duke Nukem 3D and the C&C series though. Hate the style they use for all the new C&C games, cartoony crap.
