This video made me emotional. Brings back so so so many memories. Things were so simple back then. Lots of improvement in UI has happened since then. I remember playing wolf at my cousin's house. That was the first game I ever played. Those golden days will never come back and we won't be the same people again! 😭
yeah, that was around 30 years ago. I was a teenager at that time, so those are probably the best carefree years we will have. With wolf, I remember my nephew got a new computer with a sound card and hearing the sound card for the first time, even though I had the game with no sound card.
Hahaha yep ... Carmageddon and Larry was spot-on, I totally slept on those with this list / will see if we'll need to revisit this one and perhaps do a top 20 greatest list! 👍😅 John
The Secret of Monkey Island. To this day my favorite game. I played a few on your list. However I guess these lists are most your own sentimental value of what you used to play. Thanks for sharing. It was a good list. I would add C&C, Gabriel Knight, Fallout, Death Gate, Jagged Alliance..
Thank you so much for watching - those were great games ... I actually did a follow up video where I touched on a few extra games such as The Secret of Monkey Island, C&C, Lemming's, MDK and so forth - this was such a cool time in gaming! ✌
Big Red Racing cost a friendship in my childhood. I had a friend visiting and the split screen racing was so intense, that his joystic broke suddenly in half. We never met again after that day.
SimCity, SimFarm, King's Quest, Red Baron. Ah, but I also played Doom, Wolfenstein, Xcom, and some others I don't even remember. And I wasn't a kid back then. lol
I played Battle chess when i was 5 or 6yo on a win 3.1!!! It was my first game and i thought it was pretty gore. Damn time goes away in a blink. Ty for the memories mate.
Warcraft 2 Battlenet Edition takes the cake for me man. Also, I'm surprised I didn't see command and conquer in here. Or Lands or Lore the Throne of Chaos!
Hey Dawn - awesome, yes those were great games ... esspecially Unreal and Aladdin (which I played on the Sega Mega Drive), yep I've tried Duke 1 & 2 (the side scrollers) wasn't a big fan ae - but yep ... when Duke 3d dropped we all got into that one heavily!! 💥👍🧡 John
@@phentas You may be right there. honestly it all blurs together for me. So many great games came out in the 90s and I was a late adoptor of Windows 95. I held on to DOS 6 & Windows 3 for as long as possibe.
@@DawnChatman After all it was like 30years ago, and it was such a rapid escalation from Wolf 3D to Quake 3 (7 short years). No wonder it blurs together
In the computer classes, we are working in the 1983 version of MC-DOS (c:\>edit file1/file2/file.txt and stuff like that), and for me, it's quite impressive how people actually worked on those systems when all you have is a command line and you don't even have a mouse.
For me the best games were 1: Eye of the Beholder 2 2: Lands of lore 1 3: Realms of the Haunting 4: Supaplex 5: Starquake 6: Commander Keen 7: Gods 8: Outrun 9: Sonic the Hedgehog 10: Digger 11: Zaxxon 12: Shamus 13: Saboteur 2 14: Xonix 15: Ultima Underworld 1

Oh man these bring back memories. Completely forgot about Big Red. I remember my high school ran Novel networking, which had to have a writeable folder accessible on the server. The admin hid it down about 10 folders down in different places, but we always found it and uploaded Duke3d. So much nostalgia.
We seem to have played the same games! Even though I live in Egypt... The first 3 games below I played with my cousins whenever I visited!!! Wacky Wheels, Monopoly deluxe, Mortal Kombat 3, Terminal Velocity, Amok, Who Shot Johnny Rock, 3D lemmings, cannon fodder 2, Need for speed, Airball, Bubble Bobble, BUST-A-MOVE 2, Starwars (1983) also dark forces
Haha - that's cool man, look - even the ones you've listed here I can tell we've got a similar taste in games // ~ 3d Lemmings was 🔥 / also MK 3!! 👍👍💎🎮 John
I think my first games on PC were Pinball Dreams Deluxe.. Cyberia.. Duke Nukem 3d and Hexen .. I do remember my first windows game.. Age of Empires 1.. Wololo!
One of the most frustrating tasks I ever had was trying to get Wing Commander II to work on an old comp. This was circa 2000 or so after I moved out on my own. Worked hard to get all the IRQ's and DMA's set right on the Soundblaster card and everything else set up. Finally got it one day and played for hours... So worth it.
I haven't played much of that one sadly - made a follow up video were I talked about a few more DOS games ... but, yep thanks for watching this one man! ✌️
I'm not 100% on this but Elite and Elite II: Frontier, were Dos games. I certainly need a Dos simulator in order to play Frontier now. But yeah, Frontier, just magnificent. Inherit a space ship off your dead uncle, plus a handful of credits, and go be whatever you want! Trader, smuggler, assassin, you could work for the police, or the Sirius Corporation, or the Imperials, or you could just be a pirate if you wanted, or a miner! Hahaha. And a more or less infinite galaxy to explore if you so wished. "Ahhh! A gas giant! Unload the mining equipment and prepare the scoop for fuel gathering!" I spent SO long playing that.
Hey Ryan - thanks for checking this one out, I haven't check out Frontier ... but making some notes on some of the titles & feedback - man, these lists are so subjective and will look different for many of us (there were so many amazing DOS games) John 👍🎮
@@CyberComGaming Oh absolutely, everyone has their preferences. Some like it fast and furious, blazing ground battles or sports titles (Sensible Soccer! haha) strategy games like Lemmings or Civilization. But for me, Frontier: Elite II... Large-scale space adventure roleplay with the right balance of chilling out time and battles, loads of ships you can upgrade to, weapons, gadgets, a game well worth checking out AND IF YOU DO, watch the intro because it's perfect (if, yes, a little dated of course!) Whatever you play, enjoy! Cheers, John.
Thanks for watching, man ... so hard to boil it down to just 15 - Kings Quest was a great game (honestly forgot about that one) just sooo many great DOS games!!! John 😀👍🔥
Great vid! One of the best experiences of DOS games I miss is their big box packaging. Used to spend all my time in the mall at Babbages peering over the boxes, and most games had amazing manuals and lots of goody extras. Being a kid back then there were quite a lot that I wish I had but couldn't get at the time, now thanks to sites like GOG, I've picked up quite the collection!
Tx for watching and for the feedback - couldn't agree more ... I'm getting back to collecting those big boxed PC games (I'm so regretful giving a number of them away when we moved over to NZ ... but slowly getting the collection back up! 👍
I love Big Red, the best part was running over the line of hidden sheep hearing the noise it made, Duke 3D was a game I used to play after work at work against my work bud, also hexen and heretic.
Rise Of The Triad, Descent, and the first Diablo, and Warcraft we're my base games. On PC also spent a lot of time later with rainbow 6, Carmegeddon and Black Thorne
Quake was immense. The fact that Nine Inch Nails did the music too was great as they were one of my favourite bands at the time. Such atmospheric music from NIN and the perfect FPS in the day
Hey Alex - thank you so much for the support - glad you related to this one ... had a lot of fun playing these games / it's funny how it takes you back to those simpler times! John 👍
I got into MS-DOS back in 2017 when I bought NHL 96 and Quake. Fast forward to 2023, I bought more MS-DOS games like The Ultimate DOOM, DOOM II, Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders, HeXen: Beyond Heretic, Duke Nukem 3D, Madden NFL 96, Madden NFL 97, and a few others. MS-DOS kicks ass!
I heard Front Page Sports NFL Pro 95 was good. My friend said there are many plays and you could create more plays from scratch. I think he said there were player updates, you could manually add players or create new players with stats you create. In addition, I remember he said you could play lifetime where if a player was injured at the end of a season, then he might be injured at the start of the next season. I hope you enjoy checking it out.
I ran many Novell networking systems back in the late 80's to late 90's. You really haven't lived until you "gen" fifty 5.25" floppy disks before you can even install 2.xx on a server! Those were truly the good ol' days.
Fantasic list, brings back childhood nostalgic memories. One I played a lot was Starcontrol 2. Amazing space exploration RPG/Action game. Apogee, iD and Epic made such great games back then. Commander Keen, Monster Bash, Cosmos Cosmic Adventure. DOS was such a great platform for gaming. As long as you got your sound card configured right haha
Thanks for watching this one - glad you enjoyed it / agreed they had so many amazing games back then ... I ended up doing a part 2, but yep (love this era of gaming so much) John 👍
@@jonq8714 you PERSONALLY think one of your favorite games should be someone else's, even though you have no idea if he ever played it. You can offer your own favorites or even your own list, without telling someone you think theirs should be different. And the other guy was right, there is always someone like you that doesn't get it.
@@raiusdaltar1483 and there's always someone like you who doesn't know how the English language works and how 'personally' acts as a qualifier to state that it's MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION. Sheesh buddy, you should have paid attention in middle school.
@@jonq8714 Take a look at what you said. "I personally think X should have made *this* list." Sure, that statement is your personal belief. But you are referring to THIS list... As in another person's list. That's like saying, "I personally believe your favorite fruit should be plums," and when you're met with an objection, you scream, "NO I SAID PERSONALLY!" Seems you're the one that should have paid more attention. Have a good one!
Aw man... To narrow it down to just 15 feels like a travesty of justice. Just soooo many amazing games from dos era across so many genres. Who played Stellar 7? And what about Descent, California Games, the Sierra catelogue of 'Quest games'.... Hunter Hunted... list just goes on and on and on of sweet, sweet memories.
Thanks for watching man - yep, totally ... too many great games to just list down 15 but to me, these were some of the DOS games that stood out. John 👍🎮
@@CyberComGaming There were so many games back then vs now, a person could make a list 100 dos games that 'stood out' and one would still be scratching the surface of what all was out there back then. What an era of gaming. Been showing my kids my childhood as it were wrt this. And even my 19yrold's mind has been utterly blown to the point he's gotten a passion and wants to bring that sort of gaming back, make them himself. Remember Black Thorn? They were awestruck haha. I play co-op Doom 2 with my 5yrold. Absolute loves it, and he's over lvl 50 in Borderlands 2, he's choosing the older game instead which is certainly more difficult.
I used to play some of these too! I also really enjoyed Garfield Caught in the Act, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure and one of the Commander Keen games, but I don't remember which. Later in life I found and fell in love with the Monkey Island franchise, as well.
Thanks man - appreciate you checking this one out ... some good games there, man same here I just didn't play much of Monkey Island growing up, I loved 'Escape from Monkey Island' and played that game on my Win 98 PC back in the day! John 👍🎮
So many great games! We need MS dos game collection for consoles! As good as the Incredible machines was, The Incredible Toon Machines was my favorite! It had such awesome animations! Also Dune 2 was friggin' awesome! Streed Rod 1 and 2. Oh just too many games to mention here.
The games are highly repayable ... yes, totally agree a dos collection would be great / hidden gems like these and many more - Dune 2 was awesome 👍, totally forgot to mention that classic but to your point there are just too many to mention!! John 😵💎💎💎
Commanche helicopter game was pretty good too. One issue was that the faster the computer, the faster the gameplay. At some point it wasn't playable due to the speed increase. I remember that the sweet spot was between DX2/66 and DX4/100. The first Sid Meier's Civilization game was awesome too.
Thanks for watching Peter, man I've not played that one (Commanche helicopter) but yes Civilization was good but played Colonization more ... good times with that one!! 👍👍👍 John
@@CyberComGaming I remember playing Commanche on 386DX40 ... it was barely playable. Do you know Rise of Triad, Heretic, Hexen, Cannon Fodder, Dynablaster? I played Dynablaster on Amiga 2000 and then I found out they made it for PC as well.
It's ok there are solutions for that. On original hardware you could use moslo and on DOSBox you can adjust the speed on the fly and in the configuration files.
What a lovely list, apart from big names its lovely to see Hocus Pocus and Big Red. There should be Tyrian and Transport Tycoon Deluxe in there somewhere, but then again the list would be 1000 entries long.
Prince of Persia was great. We played it at work when the boss wasn't looking who was me ! Got to have time out when everyone works so hard. My motto was "Do as I say and do as I do" lol. I said to my staff one Monday morning "Does anyone want this coming Friday off work, but you still have to be here? I got Unreal Tournament". Can you guess the answer ? Once a month we played UT on a Friday afternoon. Those were the days, I am retired now so play online with people from all over the world. I love it and this video too. Reminiscing, thank you !
One thing that just popped into my head.... Playing Wolfenstein The New Order if you take a nap on a particular bed in the game you can play the original game as you dream away. Brilliant. I also loved Lemmings back in the day, was that a DOS or Windows 3.1 game ? I can't remember.
Very cool video!! Another great game that have a chances on toplist is Unreal Tournament! But I have big crying to see these games that consolidate my insane childness 😅! Rock on 🤙
Yea man - that game was fire for sure ... must admit, I've slept on that one for way too long - loved Red Alert as well / lookingg to do a fav PC list at some point! 👍🎮 John
Great games indeed - I'm keen to work on another similar video (and perhaps have a bit of a look at those late 90's early 00's PC games), I really liked Sim City 2000 and 3000 and yep ... Alone in the Dark was another great one! 👍 John
Theme Hospital was/is the greatest business simulation game of all time. Spent countless of hours playing that game. Still didn't finish it through because the later levels were just too damn hard with them earthquakes and epidemics..
Funny Duke Nukem story: inside the game install directory, there's a text file you can edit to change the strength of the weapons. I increased the RPG to some insane number and loaded up the game. I obtained the RPG and just fired it once. As i walked through the level, every enemy was already killed by the massive blast radius of that single shot 😅
I play the The Incredible Machine 2 and I think this amazing. Today I have on steam a game called Contraption Maker. It's a great game if you whant to buy.
You did point so many good games like Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Warcraft 2 and more. MS-DOS owned in the day and if you mess up on configuring the commands it was your fault. There was also the CD games on DOS made it great like Lands of Lore, the Ravenloft games, the DarkSun Games, Warcraft 1 and more. Thank you for this Excellent look back at it.
Cheers for the comment Fenton, so true man ... I ran a couple over on DOSBox, was so cool to revisit some of them / Lands of Lore 👍, you know your stuff 😎 - these are the type of games that got me into gaming ¬ have a good one man! ✌🎮💻 John
Great list, wonderful memories. Doom was the sort of game I wasn't allowed to play, because not long after my dad saw me and my brothers play Wolf 3D we were no longer allowed to play it anymore haha. So platformers were my jam. Dangerous Dave, Biomenace, Duke Nukem. All shareware but they were just great fun to play.
Thank you for watching - haha yep I can imagine for the time those games were way out there ... I still have a number of those shareware CD's ... good times!! John
I loved Supaplex, Tyrian, Hexagon, SEEK AND DESTROY, One must fall, Transport Tycoon Deluxe , just to name some of my favourites which aren't on this list :D
@@CyberComGaming MW2: Mercenaries, Quest For Glory 4, Space Quest V, X-Com: UFO Defense, F117A Nighthawk, A-10 Tank Killer, Red Baron, Daggerfall, Syndicate, Dungeon Keeper, Sim City 2000, Betrayal at Krondor all come to mind
With no particular order, my favorite 20 Dos games would be: Prince of Persia 1 & 2 Prehistorik 2 Indiana Jones Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis Fun trucks Fifa 95 Doom 2 Duke Nukem 3d Wolfenstein 3D Grand Theft Auto Little Big Adventure Worms The Secret of Monkey Island Quake Tomb Raider The Lion king Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars Aladin Alone in The Dark
Nice list, I played almost everyone of these games :) I would add Ultima 7 and 8, Test Drive 3, Offroad Ironman Racing, Desert/Jungle Strike, Simon The Sorcerer, Transport Tycoon, XCOM, NFS1 and Ecstatica.
Another amazing video I hope that your channel blows up as you deserve it! (I am surprised that it hasn't already) I didnt even know about some of these games (not surprisingly I am only 16 so I wasnt even alive when these games first came out) such as SkyRoads and Hocus Pocus but thank you for making a video on them and I hope that I can play some of them eventually as you made them look fun to play hope to see another video from you soon!
Thank you for checking this one out as well - really glad you enjoyed it, you should definitely give them a go sometime .. have a great Xmas and cheers again for supporting! John 🎮👍🎅
My list: 1. Star Control 2. 2. Eye of the Beholder 1, 2, & 3 3. Warcraft 1 and 2 4. Master of Orion 2 5. Civilization 6. Mechwarrior 7. Daggerfall (Elder Scrolls 2) 8. Populous 9. Wolfenstein 3D 10. Sim City Tough to remember all the games I enjoyed back then. Even nowadays I'll be shocked that games I think were amazing I only put ~20ish hours into (while my most-played games sometimes get 2000+). A lot of games didn't make the list due to limiting it to 10, like Doom, Tyrian, Starflight 2, Armada 2525, and Solar Winds.
Loved the video! Grew up with a 486 with 4mb of ram. Jazz Jackrabbit Hocus Pocus and Skyroads are three of my all time fav DOS games and not many ppl even know they exist to this day. Great selection of FPS did u ever play Rise of the Triad, Heretic, Hexen or Shadow Warrior?
Thanks Brandon - much appreciated man, glad we on the same page there // ... and no man not much of them ae ~ but yep I've actively played and loved Hexen 2 tho!! 👍🎮 John
I totally forgot about SkyRoads! The name doesn't ring a bell at all, but as soon as I saw the game footage, I remembered loving that game back in the day.
Die lys bring memories terug, sal n paar add soos Vikings, Lemmings, LBA1 en 2, Commander Keen, Alone in the dark, al die Sierra games vanaf Leisure suit larry en die Quest games soos Police en Kings, Monkey Island, Broken Sword, GTA, en nog n lang lys van games. Good times.
Thanks man - daar was so veel cool DOS games ... ook baie goeie memories, ek't so paar dae terug part 2 release (praat van nog 15 games), maar in elk geval baie dankie vir die support en dat jy hierdie een ge-check het! John
One game thats missing on that list is Heroes of Might and Magic. A turn based strategy game with role playing game elements that is one of the most sold games on GoG.
@@carguy.carguysame, i play doom 2 (sometimes even without mods is enough for me), i installed quake some days ago, and installed wolfenstein 3d yesterday.
@@doctorweile Ah yes, Eye of the Beholder. I never played it. I need to check it out, I think. Also, the original Ultima Underworld was so immersive! I loved it.
Prince of Persia, Warcraft 2, and The Incredible Machine were definitely my favorites from this list, though I only played the Windows version of TIM so I’m not sure I can count that. Warcraft 2 takes me right back to my freshman year of college, where we were playing multiplayer on the dorm network all the time. There are a handful of DOS games I still occasionally play to this day, mostly strategy and RPG types because my reflexes aren’t what they used to be. But I’ve carried Civilization 1, Star Control 2, Syndicate, Darklands, Master of Magic and Prince of Persia across multiple generations of PCs. WC2, Worms, and Tie Fighter were probably my favorite of the games that I don’t (or can’t) play anymore.
Thanks for watching man - same here love to revisit these classics (often find myself playing AoE 1, SC and yes WC2) think back to all those LAN parties ... also playing UT99, Quak3 and yes ... Counter Strike! 👍John

ufo is so damn good
XCOM totally rocked!
@Will Muny warlords2 too
Colonization was one of my favourite games of all time tbh
The Secret of Monkey Island. To this day my favorite game. I played a few on your list. However I guess these lists are most your own sentimental value of what you used to play. Thanks for sharing. It was a good list.

Prince of Persia was tough as nails but still holds sooo much nostalgia!! 👍👍👍
Unreal, Blood, Aladdin, the entire Commander Keen series and the original Duke Nukem side scrollers. So many great games I grew up with.

... and a ton of game that I forgot 😏
Lords of the Realm 2 by Sierra Games 👍👍👍
One of my favorites. The only problem is that the AI isn't very challenging. If it weren't for that, the game would be perfect.
Oh man these bring back memories. Completely forgot about Big Red. I remember my high school ran Novel networking, which had to have a writeable folder accessible on the server. The admin hid it down about 10 folders down in different places, but we always found it and uploaded Duke3d. So much nostalgia.
We seem to have played the same games! Even though I live in Egypt...
The first 3 games below I played with my cousins whenever I visited!!!
Wacky Wheels, Monopoly deluxe, Mortal Kombat 3,
Terminal Velocity, Amok, Who Shot Johnny Rock, 3D lemmings, cannon fodder 2, Need for speed, Airball, Bubble Bobble, BUST-A-MOVE 2, Starwars (1983) also dark forces
Haha - that's cool man, look - even the ones you've listed here I can tell we've got a similar taste in games // ~ 3d Lemmings was 🔥 / also MK 3!! 👍👍💎🎮 John
I think my first games on PC were Pinball Dreams Deluxe.. Cyberia.. Duke Nukem 3d and Hexen .. I do remember my first windows game.. Age of Empires 1.. Wololo!
Hahaha 'wololo' you had me there 😂 ... so many great games man, YES!! Hexen and Hexen 2 / but Duke 3D was just straight 🔥 John 👍😊
Some old games that came to my mind when watching this: Hexen, Wacky Wheels, Psycho Pinball, Raptor: Call of the Shadow.
My DOS games those days were *IBM's Alley Cat, Doom 2, Mortal Kombat, Disney's Aladdin* , and *Prehistoric II*
Great picks - dude, I mean Mortal Kombat (what a game) ~ jammed that on my Sega, same with Aladdin // good times!! John 💖👍🎮😉
One of the most frustrating tasks I ever had was trying to get Wing Commander II to work on an old comp. This was circa 2000 or so after I moved out on my own. Worked hard to get all the IRQ's and DMA's set right on the Soundblaster card and everything else set up. Finally got it one day and played for hours... So worth it.
I haven't played much of that one sadly - made a follow up video were I talked about a few more DOS games ... but, yep thanks for watching this one man! ✌️
Das waren geniale Spiele und eine super tolle Jugendzeit 😊
Ich mag die gar nicht missen. Nur schade das es schon wieder so lange her ist.
I still play Super Mario Bros 3 even though it's not a DOS game. It is still fun to play occasionally even to this day. 😁
Thanks for the visit man and yes SMB3 is def still a fun game to play! 👍
I'm not 100% on this but Elite and Elite II: Frontier, were Dos games. I certainly need a Dos simulator in order to play Frontier now. But yeah, Frontier, just magnificent. Inherit a space ship off your dead uncle, plus a handful of credits, and go be whatever you want! Trader, smuggler, assassin, you could work for the police, or the Sirius Corporation, or the Imperials, or you could just be a pirate if you wanted, or a miner! Hahaha. And a more or less infinite galaxy to explore if you so wished.
"Ahhh! A gas giant! Unload the mining equipment and prepare the scoop for fuel gathering!"
I spent SO long playing that.
Hey Ryan - thanks for checking this one out, I haven't check out Frontier ... but making some notes on some of the titles & feedback - man, these lists are so subjective and will look different for many of us (there were so many amazing DOS games) John 👍🎮
@@CyberComGaming Oh absolutely, everyone has their preferences. Some like it fast and furious, blazing ground battles or sports titles (Sensible Soccer! haha) strategy games like Lemmings or Civilization. But for me, Frontier: Elite II... Large-scale space adventure roleplay with the right balance of chilling out time and battles, loads of ships you can upgrade to, weapons, gadgets, a game well worth checking out AND IF YOU DO, watch the intro because it's perfect (if, yes, a little dated of course!)
Whatever you play, enjoy! Cheers, John.
Big Red Racing was outstanding!!! I remember I used to ignore the track trying to do air tricks on those hills !!!
Hahaha same here man ... that game was so much fun!! 🚗👍🎮 John
Prince of Persia, Hocus Pocus and Wolfenstein 3D :') ... Those represent my childhood and hours of competing against my sister
some great games...i cant believe i didnt see a Kings Quest or Space Quest game tho!!
Thanks for watching, man ... so hard to boil it down to just 15 - Kings Quest was a great game (honestly forgot about that one) just sooo many great DOS games!!! John 😀👍🔥
I remember playing most of them at uni, and I still have them too! DosBox and some similar apps are still giving them life even today!
Great vid! One of the best experiences of DOS games I miss is their big box packaging. Used to spend all my time in the mall at Babbages peering over the boxes, and most games had amazing manuals and lots of goody extras. Being a kid back then there were quite a lot that I wish I had but couldn't get at the time, now thanks to sites like GOG, I've picked up quite the collection!
Tx for watching and for the feedback - couldn't agree more ... I'm getting back to collecting those big boxed PC games (I'm so regretful giving a number of them away when we moved over to NZ ... but slowly getting the collection back up! 👍
I love Big Red, the best part was running over the line of hidden sheep hearing the noise it made, Duke 3D was a game I used to play after work at work against my work bud, also hexen and heretic.
Thanks for watching Ray - haha I remember Hexen, great game also it's sequel Hexen 2!! John 👍🎮
Dude those sheep were such a great destresser after school.
Rise Of The Triad, Descent, and the first Diablo, and Warcraft we're my base games. On PC also spent a lot of time later with rainbow 6, Carmegeddon and Black Thorne
Thanks for watching - hahaha oh yes Carmegeddon was pure 🔥!! 🚗👍 John
Quake was immense. The fact that Nine Inch Nails did the music too was great as they were one of my favourite bands at the time. Such atmospheric music from NIN and the perfect FPS in the day
Nice list! Really takes me back to a fun time in my life. I forgot about some of these. Subscribed!
Hey Alex - thank you so much for the support - glad you related to this one ... had a lot of fun playing these games / it's funny how it takes you back to those simpler times! John 👍
Worms, Tyrian and SimCity 2000 also come to mind as DOS classics.
So true, this was a hard list but man ... Worms & SimCity 2000 💖 - - > might have to release an update to this list // (good mentions) John 👍😉
Carmageddon was also a great game.
Stunts was a good car racing game where you could build your own track and swap them with other users to try out.
I got into MS-DOS back in 2017 when I bought NHL 96 and Quake. Fast forward to 2023, I bought more MS-DOS games like The Ultimate DOOM, DOOM II, Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders, HeXen: Beyond Heretic, Duke Nukem 3D, Madden NFL 96, Madden NFL 97, and a few others. MS-DOS kicks ass!
Thanks for watching man and those are some great games! 👍
I heard Front Page Sports NFL Pro 95 was good. My friend said there are many plays and you could create more plays from scratch. I think he said there were player updates, you could manually add players or create new players with stats you create. In addition, I remember he said you could play lifetime where if a player was injured at the end of a season, then he might be injured at the start of the next season. I hope you enjoy checking it out.
I skipped a lot of college classes playing Quake, Diablo and Doom over a 10baseT network using ipx/spx protocols. Good times.
I ran many Novell networking systems back in the late 80's to late 90's. You really haven't lived until you "gen" fifty 5.25" floppy disks before you can even install 2.xx on a server! Those were truly the good ol' days.
Fantasic list, brings back childhood nostalgic memories. One I played a lot was Starcontrol 2. Amazing space exploration RPG/Action game. Apogee, iD and Epic made such great games back then. Commander Keen, Monster Bash, Cosmos Cosmic Adventure. DOS was such a great platform for gaming. As long as you got your sound card configured right haha
Thanks for watching this one - glad you enjoyed it / agreed they had so many amazing games back then ... I ended up doing a part 2, but yep (love this era of gaming so much) John 👍
I personally think Ultima Underworld should have made this list...
Guy says "favorite" and yet there's invariably someone in the comments saying something else wasn't included... 🧐
@@arvindhmani06 "I personally think" which was me stating MY subjective preference.
@@jonq8714 you PERSONALLY think one of your favorite games should be someone else's, even though you have no idea if he ever played it. You can offer your own favorites or even your own list, without telling someone you think theirs should be different. And the other guy was right, there is always someone like you that doesn't get it.
@@raiusdaltar1483 and there's always someone like you who doesn't know how the English language works and how 'personally' acts as a qualifier to state that it's MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION. Sheesh buddy, you should have paid attention in middle school.
@@jonq8714 Take a look at what you said. "I personally think X should have made *this* list." Sure, that statement is your personal belief. But you are referring to THIS list... As in another person's list. That's like saying, "I personally believe your favorite fruit should be plums," and when you're met with an objection, you scream, "NO I SAID PERSONALLY!" Seems you're the one that should have paid more attention. Have a good one!
Aw man... To narrow it down to just 15 feels like a travesty of justice. Just soooo many amazing games from dos era across so many genres.
Who played Stellar 7?
And what about Descent, California Games, the Sierra catelogue of 'Quest games'.... Hunter Hunted... list just goes on and on and on of sweet, sweet memories.
Thanks for watching man - yep, totally ... too many great games to just list down 15 but to me, these were some of the DOS games that stood out. John 👍🎮
@@CyberComGaming There were so many games back then vs now, a person could make a list 100 dos games that 'stood out' and one would still be scratching the surface of what all was out there back then. What an era of gaming.
Been showing my kids my childhood as it were wrt this. And even my 19yrold's mind has been utterly blown to the point he's gotten a passion and wants to bring that sort of gaming back, make them himself.
Remember Black Thorn? They were awestruck haha. I play co-op Doom 2 with my 5yrold. Absolute loves it, and he's over lvl 50 in Borderlands 2, he's choosing the older game instead which is certainly more difficult.
I used to play some of these too! I also really enjoyed Garfield Caught in the Act, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure and one of the Commander Keen games, but I don't remember which. Later in life I found and fell in love with the Monkey Island franchise, as well.
Thanks man - appreciate you checking this one out ... some good games there, man same here I just didn't play much of Monkey Island growing up, I loved 'Escape from Monkey Island' and played that game on my Win 98 PC back in the day! John 👍🎮
Nice compilation man! Would definitely pick something out of it to play through.
Thanks for watching!
So many great games! We need MS dos game collection for consoles! As good as the Incredible machines was, The Incredible Toon Machines was my favorite! It had such awesome animations! Also Dune 2 was friggin' awesome! Streed Rod 1 and 2. Oh just too many games to mention here.
The games are highly repayable ... yes, totally agree a dos collection would be great / hidden gems like these and many more - Dune 2 was awesome 👍, totally forgot to mention that classic but to your point there are just too many to mention!! John 😵💎💎💎
Earth Worm Jim was a good MS-DOS game.
Man, it was so good ... I played it on the Mega Drive! 👍🎮 John
Skyroads is awesome! Soundtrack also 🔥
Commanche helicopter game was pretty good too. One issue was that the faster the computer, the faster the gameplay. At some point it wasn't playable due to the speed increase. I remember that the sweet spot was between DX2/66 and DX4/100.
The first Sid Meier's Civilization game was awesome too.
Thanks for watching Peter, man I've not played that one (Commanche helicopter) but yes Civilization was good but played Colonization more ... good times with that one!! 👍👍👍 John
@@CyberComGaming I remember playing Commanche on 386DX40 ... it was barely playable. Do you know Rise of Triad, Heretic, Hexen, Cannon Fodder, Dynablaster? I played Dynablaster on Amiga 2000 and then I found out they made it for PC as well.
It's ok there are solutions for that. On original hardware you could use moslo and on DOSBox you can adjust the speed on the fly and in the configuration files.
What a lovely list, apart from big names its lovely to see Hocus Pocus and Big Red.
There should be Tyrian and Transport Tycoon Deluxe in there somewhere, but then again the list would be 1000 entries long.
dungeon keeper very powerfull game, and have other good RTS games too like total anhilation and KKND
my favorite DOS games probably from KOEI ...and C&C series..
Man... The Lion King, Aladdin, Hercules, Duke Nukem, Quake, Jazz Jackrabbit, Cyrill the Cyberpunk, Tomb Raider...
Good times 😎
Prince of Persia was great. We played it at work when the boss wasn't looking who was me ! Got to have time out when everyone works so hard. My motto was "Do as I say and do as I do" lol. I said to my staff one Monday morning "Does anyone want this coming Friday off work, but you still have to be here? I got Unreal Tournament". Can you guess the answer ? Once a month we played UT on a Friday afternoon. Those were the days, I am retired now so play online with people from all over the world. I love it and this video too. Reminiscing, thank you !
One thing that just popped into my head.... Playing Wolfenstein The New Order if you take a nap on a particular bed in the game you can play the original game as you dream away. Brilliant. I also loved Lemmings back in the day, was that a DOS or Windows 3.1 game ? I can't remember.
That sounded like a great place to work for - or rather you were just a cool boss ... thanks for watching and for sharing those memories! ✌️ John
I used to play hocus pocus as a kid and I had completely forgotten. Thank you!
No worries man, glad you enjoyed this one :)
Very cool video!! Another great game that have a chances on toplist is Unreal Tournament! But I have big crying to see these games that consolidate my insane childness 😅! Rock on 🤙
Cheers for watching bro - agree man // these games also helped to solidify my childhood!
I'd have to throw in Command & Conquer, even the installer was badass.
Yea man - that game was fire for sure ... must admit, I've slept on that one for way too long - loved Red Alert as well / lookingg to do a fav PC list at some point! 👍🎮 John
Dude, that was literally my half childhood. Some of these i had already forgotten about 😰. Great Video ✌🏼
Thanks man - glad you enjoyed this one! 😃👍 John
I played a lot of these as a kid! Grew up with Windows 3.1 until Windows 98 came out! In my thirties now and still miss those classics!
Thanks for watching man - same here ... grew up on these, fun times!!! John 👍
Quakes is so badass. I made a bunch of maps for it years ago using Quark. Super fun.
Mechwarrior 2, Lemmings, Dungeon Keeper, Space Quest series, Sim City 2000, Sim Ant, 7th Guest, The Dig, Alone in the Dark
Great games indeed - I'm keen to work on another similar video (and perhaps have a bit of a look at those late 90's early 00's PC games), I really liked Sim City 2000 and 3000 and yep ... Alone in the Dark was another great one! 👍 John
Definitely play Warcraft 2 in 2021. It's so good.
I know right?? ... what a classic even after all these years! Cheers for watching man! John 👍😎
Theme Hospital was/is the greatest business simulation game of all time.
Spent countless of hours playing that game.
Still didn't finish it through because the later levels were just too damn hard with them earthquakes and epidemics..
Funny Duke Nukem story: inside the game install directory, there's a text file you can edit to change the strength of the weapons. I increased the RPG to some insane number and loaded up the game. I obtained the RPG and just fired it once. As i walked through the level, every enemy was already killed by the massive blast radius of that single shot 😅
I think I've played all of them back in the day. Good list
Doom & Warcraft ! 😊
They were (and still is) so good, thanks for checking this one out man! 👍 John
I play the The Incredible Machine 2 and I think this amazing.
Today I have on steam a game called Contraption Maker. It's a great game if you whant to buy.
didn't know that game.. nice!
Edit: It's from the same creators!
Nice - I didn't know about this one ... thank you, def gonna check it out! 👍😊 John
The good ol days of DOS. I remember spending hours trying to get EF200 to run well. Theme Hospital was awesome !
Haha totally ... spent many hours playing Theme Hopsital, thank you for watching this one!! John 😉🎮👍
Big red racing was fun 2 player. Enjoyed going out of bounds and finding little easter eggs
Hahaha same ... good times!! 💖👍 John
When you do skyroads and doom back to back, one knows this guys does not fuck around
You did point so many good games like Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Warcraft 2 and more. MS-DOS owned in the day and if you mess up on configuring the commands it was your fault. There was also the CD games on DOS made it great like Lands of Lore, the Ravenloft games, the DarkSun Games, Warcraft 1 and more. Thank you for this Excellent look back at it.
Cheers for the comment Fenton, so true man ... I ran a couple over on DOSBox, was so cool to revisit some of them / Lands of Lore 👍, you know your stuff 😎 - these are the type of games that got me into gaming ¬ have a good one man! ✌🎮💻 John
What about Raise of the triad? You've missed a big one there
Fun fact, supposedly, rise of the triad was originally going to be Wolfenstein: Rise of the Triad, or Wolfenstein 3.
I wasn’t afraid of Y2K and I was a Kid back then
Great list, wonderful memories. Doom was the sort of game I wasn't allowed to play, because not long after my dad saw me and my brothers play Wolf 3D we were no longer allowed to play it anymore haha. So platformers were my jam. Dangerous Dave, Biomenace, Duke Nukem. All shareware but they were just great fun to play.
Thank you for watching - haha yep I can imagine for the time those games were way out there ... I still have a number of those shareware CD's ... good times!! John
Man, we share a lot of games on our favorites lists. LOL.
Haha - hey, that's a good thing! 😎 ~ Tx for taking time to check this one out man! John 👍🎮
Never got to play Theme hospital, great video!
Thanks for checking this list out & oh yes, you definitely should give it a go!! John 👍✌😎
Or even play the modern remake 2 point hospital
WOW! so much nostalgia!
I played almost all of these games!
I would also add Commander Keen and C&C!
edit: Fury 3!!!
Thank you so much for watching - yes those were great games indeed ... got them added in vol 2 :) John
I loved Supaplex, Tyrian, Hexagon, SEEK AND DESTROY, One must fall, Transport Tycoon Deluxe , just to name some of my favourites which aren't on this list :D
Thanks for sharing and yep - some great games there // might need to revisit a few of them!! John 👍🎮
@@CyberComGaming MW2: Mercenaries, Quest For Glory 4, Space Quest V, X-Com: UFO Defense, F117A Nighthawk, A-10 Tank Killer, Red Baron, Daggerfall, Syndicate, Dungeon Keeper, Sim City 2000, Betrayal at Krondor all come to mind
Hey, cool choices but for me, there are The day of the tentacle (best game ever made), the Alone in the dark series and Lemmings plus so many more !!!
Thanks for stopping by - Alone in the Dark was also supposed to be included ... might need to revisit this list sometime! 👍🎮 John

Nice list, I played almost everyone of these games :)
I would add Ultima 7 and 8, Test Drive 3, Offroad Ironman Racing, Desert/Jungle Strike, Simon The Sorcerer, Transport Tycoon, XCOM, NFS1 and Ecstatica.
Another amazing video I hope that your channel blows up as you deserve it! (I am surprised that it hasn't already) I didnt even know about some of these games (not surprisingly I am only 16 so I wasnt even alive when these games first came out) such as SkyRoads and Hocus Pocus but thank you for making a video on them and I hope that I can play some of them eventually as you made them look fun to play hope to see another video from you soon!
Thank you for checking this one out as well - really glad you enjoyed it, you should definitely give them a go sometime .. have a great Xmas and cheers again for supporting! John 🎮👍🎅
my memories: Lemmings, Pushover, Putt Putt, Pango, Digger, Pipe mania, Sokoban etc. I love MAME games
I really loved Archon.
I really wish someone would make it for modern computers. It was incredible.
Hocus Pocus is so good! I love that game! I still play it today with my kid!
Love it 👍 ... it's still got so much charm! 💖 John
Jet Pack
Spectre
Jet Fighter II
MegaRace
MicroMan
Some fun DOS titles I played as a lad.
My list:
1. Star Control 2.
2. Eye of the Beholder 1, 2, & 3
3. Warcraft 1 and 2
4. Master of Orion 2
5. Civilization
6. Mechwarrior
7. Daggerfall (Elder Scrolls 2)
8. Populous
9. Wolfenstein 3D
10. Sim City
Tough to remember all the games I enjoyed back then. Even nowadays I'll be shocked that games I think were amazing I only put ~20ish hours into (while my most-played games sometimes get 2000+). A lot of games didn't make the list due to limiting it to 10, like Doom, Tyrian, Starflight 2, Armada 2525, and Solar Winds.
Loved the video!
Grew up with a 486 with 4mb of ram.
Jazz Jackrabbit Hocus Pocus and Skyroads are three of my all time fav DOS games and not many ppl even know they exist to this day. Great selection of FPS did u ever play Rise of the Triad, Heretic, Hexen or Shadow Warrior?
Thanks Brandon - much appreciated man, glad we on the same page there // ... and no man not much of them ae ~ but yep I've actively played and loved Hexen 2 tho!! 👍🎮 John
awesome video!! found the old game called sky roads I've been looking for lol. had forgotten the name from my childhood.
Glad I could help ... man Skyroads was and still is such a fun game + the Xmas special release version! 👍 John
I totally forgot about SkyRoads! The name doesn't ring a bell at all, but as soon as I saw the game footage, I remembered loving that game back in the day.
Thanks for watching John - yep, is such an underrated game actually (not a lot of people talk about it) John 🤔👍🎮
Die lys bring memories terug, sal n paar add soos Vikings, Lemmings, LBA1 en 2, Commander Keen, Alone in the dark, al die Sierra games vanaf Leisure suit larry en die Quest games soos Police en Kings, Monkey Island, Broken Sword, GTA, en nog n lang lys van games. Good times.
Thanks man - daar was so veel cool DOS games ... ook baie goeie memories, ek't so paar dae terug part 2 release (praat van nog 15 games), maar in elk geval baie dankie vir die support en dat jy hierdie een ge-check het! John
One game thats missing on that list is Heroes of Might and Magic. A turn based strategy game with role playing game elements that is one of the most sold games on GoG.
Big Red Racing was crazy fun, but it gives you headache haha
Thanks for watching man and look ... I know what you mean! 👍😅🎮🚗 John
Good choices. You reminded me about Skyroads. Haven't played that in probably 25 years!
Thanks for watching man - yep, it's a lot fun / also Skyroads X-mas Special! 👍🎮 John

Shut up I’m 16 and this looks sick

You should try the Ultima games, including Ultima Underworld. You also forgot to mention Sim City. It was a huge hit.
Ultima Underworld II was a masterpiece - never played the first one… and Eye of the Beholder II
@@doctorweile Ah yes, Eye of the Beholder. I never played it. I need to check it out, I think. Also, the original Ultima Underworld was so immersive! I loved it.
Space quest, and Kings Quest 1, 2, and 3 were amazing games!
Great choices! :)
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it! ✌️
Prince of Persia, Warcraft 2, and The Incredible Machine were definitely my favorites from this list, though I only played the Windows version of TIM so I’m not sure I can count that. Warcraft 2 takes me right back to my freshman year of college, where we were playing multiplayer on the dorm network all the time.
There are a handful of DOS games I still occasionally play to this day, mostly strategy and RPG types because my reflexes aren’t what they used to be. But I’ve carried Civilization 1, Star Control 2, Syndicate, Darklands, Master of Magic and Prince of Persia across multiple generations of PCs. WC2, Worms, and Tie Fighter were probably my favorite of the games that I don’t (or can’t) play anymore.
Thanks for watching man - same here love to revisit these classics (often find myself playing AoE 1, SC and yes WC2) think back to all those LAN parties ... also playing UT99, Quak3 and yes ... Counter Strike! 👍John
