A lot of the games from the beginning I remember playing on my Atari 800. Lots of old Amiga/Atari ports in the early DOS days. Loved seeing Bioforge on here and Ascendancy. I still have the Ascendancy CD. Some of the other DOS games I liked were Chuck Yeagers Air Combat, Alien Legacy, No Greater Glory, and of course, the Eye of the Beholder series (which I still have a hint book for).
I had a Amstrad 1512 as my main computer from 1986 - 1991 (Games became too complex by 89- 1990) as a kid. I had about 20 of these games, they seemed much better back then, even in the limited CGA colours, which seemed to be vibrant purple and blue lol. I fondly look back at them. My favourite games were Lightspeed, Allycat, A Submarine simulator, F-15, Prince of Persia and Monkey Island.
there are a few dos games that are missing. some of them are legendary to this day. Wolfenstein 3D, Doom 1and 2. MechWarrior 2 and MechWarrior 2 Mercenaries. F-19 stealth fighter. Cobra Command, Falcon 4.0. even though the graphics are out of date was one of the best sims of all time.
12:18 I blame my childhood spent playing Aces of the Pacific as the reason why I have to invert the Y axis on every console game controller I’ve used in the 30 years since. Down will never not be up.
Do you by any chance know of a point and click game that featured removing a key from a nail in a shed and hole in a tree? I know this is a super vague question but there’s this game I played as a kid that I just can’t remember
I remember playing Life and Death before briefly as a kid. Didn't know what the hell I was doing and a lot of patients died. Also, nice signature haha :P
I recall L&D2. Without any manual I did also make quite a hefty pile of corpses before fully learning the right diagnosis procedures and specially the brain surgeries. Probly 400 of my patients died or was otherwise mishandled (molested), roughly the same amount treated alright and of the latter I'm quite sure I sutured the scalp while leaving equipment there after myself. :P
I love theese videos... mostly because there is a game i am looking for, from my childhood... but i honestly dont remember anything about it or not even sure how to describe it, i hope one day i'll see it in a video like this xD
Looking for a DOS game from the 80s with the same color scheme as the Zaxxon from the beginning of this video. In the game, it was a top down view of your character as you navigated one screen maze/puzzles by opening and closing different gates. The catch was that there were these caterpillars/centipedes pursuing you, so you had to be careful about which gates to close and open. Pretty generic simple game, but i would love to revisit it.
EuroPC, 3.5' Floppy drive in the Keyboard. You could murder someone with that heavy thing. First games ever were Sim City, Police Quest 1, Elite and Driller.
12:55 -- обожаю игры с такой графикой, они во-первых сказочные и атмосферные, во-вторых добрые и спокойные.. Одним словом умиротворение так и веет от них.. 13:10 -- так же 👆 17:10 -- ооооуу, вот она эта игруля)))))) Супер)) 19:35 -- не знаю почему, но эта игруля на меня в детстве наводила немного какую-то тревожность чтоли.. Когда играл, было на заднем фоне такое чувство, как будто в будущем что-то похожее нас ждёт.. 19:50 -- ооо, ну без этой игрули, вообще бы не было моего детства))
It is still shocking to me that Ultima VII: The Black Gate, was made in 1992. What a GAME, what an adventure, what a story and extremely well made. I went back and played again and finished it - after aaaaall those years - in 2018 I think, I didn't think twice about the graphics. They are still servicable :)
It blows everything else on this list out of the water in terms of sheer quality. I prefer Rogue, but man, it's amazing what truly talented people could make back then
@@Njuregen Ultima Underworld 1&2 were AMAZING. I still have my 486 and I think it works, but the motherboard battery is out and I am having trouble replacing it.
I want to play QFG Shadows of Darkness again, if only to finally complete it. When I bought it, it was so riddled with bugs that it literally could not be finished.
Can someone please help me? I’ve been searching for a childhood game for ages and didn’t find it yet and this is driving me crazy 😭 Its from the DOS era,you control a warrior with blue armor and shoot arrows in your enemies,but through the stages you eventually get some power ups like more arrows and I remember one that turn your armor red. Its like those shooting games that you control aircrafts but instead of planes is that warrior that I mentioned. Does that infos ring any bell?
You had lightspeed but not hyperspeed? Still not seeing cosmo’s cosmic adventure (unless it’s in another video which I’m now going through all of these) so many memories coming back regardless
I’ve been trying to find an MS-DOS game for the past 30 years and I never cant seem to find it. It’s a game like astroids and at the title screen you hear a scream. You could choose between seven different ships and each ship had different powers and speed. I still don’t know what it’s called.
@@andrewmoir This game looks rad but the game I was thinking of was way more simple than this! I remember the Title Screen having a "Scream" sound effect.
Aahhh....nice set, but why u gotta only show the map screen from Star Control II ... doesn't really tell anything about the game, one of the best games ever imo D:
I got a PC in the mid 90's before that only consoles and a C-64, which I felt was better then the pc. When i did get my first pc in 96, games like Ascendancy blew me away, sadly only the AI was dumb as bricks. So when you found them they barely developed anything, and were a pushover. Still the best age of PC gaming the 90's!
Dont remember lots of these but quite a few bring back very old memories. Especially Gold Rush, which also had a remake and updated look. I still have the original hint book around here somewhere. It came with a card with red cellophane over a window. The pages were crossed out with red ink. but when you used the red cellophane, you could no longer see the red ink so you could read the written clues underneath.
I was hoping maybe after watching 303 DOS games it would help me remember. I am trying to figure out this game, might have been Mac System 6 only, but it was an odd space like game that was 2d top down maybe in a space station. Early on there was like a button that sucked you out into space that I could never get past lol
I would have added Veil of Darkness, Descent, Kings Quest/Space Quest games (not sure if the SCUMMVM Lucas Arts stuff would qualify here) and the Tie Fighter/X-Wing games. Oh, and Dune II. Otherwise a great list.
I literally have tears in my eyes, such great memories! Would give anything to go back to these days. Really sad how bad the world has become. The 80s and 90s will be the golden age of the USA. Oh well at least I was around for it. Hope things turn around and soon!
Hi, I've seen your videos and they all recall good old memories! So far I can name some missing games: Zak Mc Kraken (you get it) PGA Tour Golf Ports of call, where you run a shipping company A football game which I don't remember where a sort of Pacman would celebrate when scoring A winter sport game with many discipline s where you could choose your nationality (and, in any case, a Finnish character would win) Please help me find those titles
There's one game I'm trying to remember, I can't describe it very well, but here goes. It has a big wide open field full of characters on 2 sides, much like chess. You control the characters movements one at a time when it's your turn. I remember two of the characters being a knight with a helmet on and a longsword, no shield, and a water elemental. When two characters met, it would go into a top down view where you would fight the opposing character in real time. I can't remember anything else, but i remember playing a lot as a kid (I'm 34 now...F me)
I remember playing a trial version of a game from around 1995 where you explore a maze of tunnels in an asteroid (I think) and fight monsters that dwell within. The graphics were rather decent for that period, but the gameplay sucked, frankly.
@@LightwaveAl No, though I've tried it out, too. In the one I'm talking about you walked through the tunnels, but in leaps (don't know what's the word for the leap-like motion in early games), then when you faced a monster, you couldn't move around, but moved only the crosshair, had to hit each monster in it's own weak point. One I remember was like a leech, the other ones looked like a mantice and a whitish spider.
What kind of peoples watch your videos? Or did I miss them? Not a single Wing Commander? Only one Ultima, especially no Underworld? And no C&C? No Silent Service? There are a ton of crappy games in that list and a lot of good ones are missing.
I just opened a "best dos games" List, and: Space Quest, Monkey Island, Loom, Doom, Quake, Warcraft, Sim City, X-Com, Maxter of Orion, Duke Nukem, Panzer General, Die Siedler, Lemmings, Fallout, Prince of Persia, GTA, Worms, all missing and so many more.
Indeed, most of the most popular ones were in the first video, which was a video of games I personally played (all of them)… but I didn’t play RPGs or fantasy games, they’re not my genre. Those are in the subsequent videos.

The C-64 was also better then the PC for most smaller games, like Commando. Until the PC got soundcards and better graphics.
Why is Moonstone : A Hard Days Knight / It Came From The Desert not on here ? Some of the Best amiga / dos games..
I’ll put them in the next DOS video
OMFG bouncing babies and janitor joe were 2 of the first games I ever played, along with the zork games which literally taught me how to spell
And we were more excited for them than today's kids are for games with multi-million dollar budgets. 😅
