oh man . . thanks for the memories

 

Digger (not sure this was even properly DOS)

Arctic Adventure

Crystal Caves

Lots of Apogee platform games I forget the names of . .Clyde something?

Electro Body (JESUS IS HERE)

Duke Nukem I & II

Commander Keen

Betrayal at Krondor

Quarantine (SO FUCKING GOOD, how did they screw up the sequel so badly?)

Wolfeinstein/Doom etc

 

I'm sure more memories will come with time

Fuck yeah Crystal Caves!

 

and ELECTRO BODY! I randomly picked that up from a newsagent once (they had a stall with shareware on 3.5" floppies for sale, probably not quite legal) and it was awesome.

 

Damnit, I wish there were versions of those old platform games on DS/iphone, I'd play the fuck out of them (I'm not getting a gp2x or whatever, I already have enough portable game consoles, don't want to spend money on another one)

Lemmings was my favorite, and I think my dad actually completed the entire game.

Ah man, Stunts was amazing. I used to make some of the craziest tracks for it. The crashes were the most fun part though.

If you have a friend at hand, Rampart is a must!

oh man, I'm glad they aren't available on android, for precisely that reason. I'm shocked that anyone else played Electro Body . . such a weird game. fixed jump lengths were rrrrghhh

Bolo

Boomerang

Masters of Orion

SimAnt and SimWolf . . never took off but loved those

The Lemmings music was fantastic

Master of Magic had the best opening sequence. "OLD MAN . . WE SEEK THE SPELL OF MASTERY..." That's right, one way to win the game was to cast THE SPELL OF MASTERY. And then you would win.

My brother and I used to play Doom deathmatch over COM1. The serial port. It would always take like a day to set up.

Was there a game called Alpha Centauri? Space civ type game? All I remember is my dad making fun of me because the computer had such a sexy female voice. "Yessss, commander, WHATEVER YOU WANT"

XCOM

Zork et al: I tried my hand but too tedious for me. Even though I still want to finish the one I started in qbasic.

Incredible Machine!!! How many sticks of dynamite could you fit on the screen?

Day of the Tentacle

Carmen Sandiego

whew too bad I have to "do stuff" today or I'd be in this thread forever.

ARKANOID II

Master of Magic

Commander Keen - Secret of the Oracle

Tyrian

Prince of Persia 1 and 2

Stunts

hey A/D im gonna ruin your life

DS

There is something you can use to get dos stuff working on the DS. DS-DOS I think. I set it up because I wanted to see if I could get deluxe paint working on it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It worked ok.

alley cat!

anyone else knew this one?

lol @0:50, cat charge-up animation

this was the first game i ever bought. that is how much of a fucking nerd i am.

oh god. i was hardcore addicted to Tie Fighter one summer

I'm going to pretend this never happened

omgthxtho

oh yeah, TIE fighter! And . . Privateer!!! ahh to be young

yeah tie fighter was the best but x-wing... i got it right when it came out (i was 8) and it came on 5 3.5" floppies and cost me like $60. from sears.

i was one weird kid.

oh fuck yeah privateer too. i sucked at it but my dad had it and i looooved trying to play it.

who knew you would meet other weird kids on idmz mszbrd. let us not devolve into a contest of childhood weirdness. we may learn too much

Spectre

War-8 (super old tank game)

Battlezone

Warcraft I & II

Cosmo's Big Adventure

We disallowed from Syndicate after my parents realized the first mission was to assassinate a politician. I remember my dad being all "WHAT IF THERE WAS A CHILD ABUSE GAME WOULD YOU PLAY THAT"

RAPTOR

omg DEATH TRACK . . one of the best of all time.

x wing and tie fighter all the way. hooray.

Alley Cat was probably the first game I ever played. Another one that my dad finished, hah!

And yeah, Doom deathmatches were excellent. I used to play against my brother and a friend, one on one via parallel port all the time. On custom levels too!

redneck rampage? that was a weird game.

Lol yeah! Had forgotten all about this one, gotta get back on that for certain.

Dungeon Keeper I also have a soft spot for, the voice of the dungeon master or whatever was brilliant.
