What were your favourite DOS games!?

[Hiphophippo]

Part of me would like to say something niche and unknown for cool points but yea, Doom 2 all the way. That or Duke 3D. Well, the Duke 3D map editor.

 

[ExileNZ]

To bring in something new:

Crusader: No Remorse
Crusader: No Regret

Terra Nova: Strike Froce Centauri
Mechwarrior 2

Terra Nova was awesome, and I say that from having only played the demo.

Crusader is one game I never got to play but from what I've heard it was also a classic.

 

[Azex]

Almost the entire Apogee stable, Duke and Keen too ofc...then all the classics like doom, civ and system shock

 

[Lusty]

Anything by Bullfrog. Populous, theme Hospital/Park, Syndicate, Magic Carpet, and of course the amazing Dungeon Keeper.

Westwood were pretty awesome too. C&C, Eye of the Beholder and Blade Runner were all classics. Think Blade Runner was on Windows though.

What happened to Apogee anyway? They had great games..

[KarmaTheAlligator]

X-COM games (yes, even the sequel. I frigging loved the sequel, even the very annoying bits), Privateer and X-Wing. Probably others too, but those are the only ones I remember right now.

 

[Paularius]

Stronghold was and is an awesome game! Loved it to bits.

That and Simon the sorcerer naturally.

 

[rodneyy]

settlers 2
lure of the temptress

i loved battle chess as well but was in the same boat to young to do well at it.

 

[Mr.Petey]

Primarily Tie Fighter. No other Star Wars games have come close (perhaps X-Wing Alliance though)
Oh and Sim City Enhanced CD-ROM as it had hilarious live action clips. Twas my first ever PC game when CD-ROM tech was still relatively new

 

[linwolf]

Civilization and Jetpack were my favourites and I still have both installed.

 

[RheynbowDash]

No one has said "Oregon Trail"?
Surprising.

 

[kayisking]

You a chess player? Maybe we could play sometimes.

OT: Yeah, I guess I would have to go with Day of the Tentacle. Oh Lucasart, please come back to us.

Unfortunately my chess career ended when our computer got upgraded, and I forgot the name of the game.

Wanne play a match? If so, make an account on chess.com and send me a pm.

 

[Caffeine Rage]

The two big ones for me are:

Scorched Earth
Sim City 2000

Great games. Kind of a shame that their successors don't hold up to their DOS counterparts. Sim City Societies? What were they thinking?!?

 

[subtlefuge]

Star Wars Rebel Assault II

Don't know why, it's just awesome.

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

TIE Fighter
Sim Earth
Most Bullfrog games
Nam

Theme Hospital, Sim City 2000, Jazz Jackrabbit.
