I just wanted to give a shout-out to the good folks at Dosgamert for the supplementary game footage for Lion King, Hocus Pocus & Jazz Jackrabbit - please check them out (channel link in the description) 👍👍

Hocus Pocus for the win!

Graphic Adventures 0, no one? .. Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis or day of tentacle for example

[@s.j.3247]

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! 😭

[@CyberComGaming]

Hey man, thanks for watching and for sharing those memories ... will always love revisiting these classics!! John 👍

[@Fighter4Street]

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.

[@blackjack9863]

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.

What about Lemmings ?

[@MrHatetheplayer]

Lords of the Realm 2 by Sierra Games 👍👍👍

[@egidio9608]

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.

[@raymoreton3184]

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.

[@YupTurtle83]

Dude those sheep were such a great destresser after school.

[@sx200n1]

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

[@albertoalmeida3424]

Big Red Racing was outstanding!!! I remember I used to ignore the track trying to do air tricks on those hills !!!

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.

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! 👍

My DOS games those days were *IBM's Alley Cat, Doom 2, Mortal Kombat, Disney's Aladdin* , and *Prehistoric II*

[@matthewvanrensburg3824]

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.

[@CyberComGaming]

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 👍🎮

[@matthewvanrensburg3824]

@@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.

[@BTHDreamer]

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!

[@oddeda]

WOW! so much nostalgia! I played almost all of these games! I would also add Commander Keen and C&C!

My family got our first computer in 1996. I remember everything you said there!

[@CyberComGaming]

Was such a cool time growing up!

[@Lee.Willcox]

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 !

[@Lee.Willcox]

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.

[@CyberComGaming]

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

Carmageddon, Larry, interstade, die by the sword, blood, alien earth, kknd, dark colony.

[@chrismaverick9828]

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.

[@CyberComGaming]

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! ✌️

[@LordFentonGaming]

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.

[@CyberComGaming]

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

Stunts was a good car racing game where you could build your own track and swap them with other users to try out.

[@heckensteiner4713]

Quakes is so badass. I made a bunch of maps for it years ago using Quark. Super fun.

[@peterhelpme]

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.

[@CyberComGaming]

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

[@peterhelpme]

@@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.

[@frankhalgas3798]

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.

[@marko21xx]

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!

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!

[@CyberComGaming]

Thanks for watching man and those are some great games! 👍

[@frankhalgas3798]

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.

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 😅

[@josepablolunasanchez1283]

Battle Chess. Looking at the pieces fighting was fun. But I wondered if there was any game where pieces would not just be defeated but they would be able to fight back. And the answer was a big YES. There is a tabletop game called "Battletech a game of armored combat" from 1984 where pieces are giant robots and they do not die easily. The game was a simulator in tabletop format. Rules are intimidating due to its simulationist design. "Battletech fan" channel has a visual guide intended to watch while you have the rulebook in your hands. Visuals allow you to understand that those many rules are just common sense to create a simulation on tabletop. That channel also has a video and links so you can play Mechwarrior 2 demo for DOS. Mechwarrior belongs to the Battletech franchise. Battletech tabletop may not have the fun of cartoonish fighting, but it has the "fight back" component I was looking for. If you feel that game is too complex, there is "Battletech beginner box" too.

[@CyberComGaming]

Amongst my top games in stated 90-97-ish time frame i would love to point out: Lemmings, come on it has PAWS!!! and nuke 'em surrender option Worms offcourse, Poupulos (you think of Mollenux as a joke but he did ridiculously awesome stuff for decades), Netstorm (you never heard of it but it is goddamn awesome RTS nondirect combat game), Geoff Carmmond F1 GP2 (aka Micro Prose GP2), Transport Tycoon de Luxe (started off on 8bits but deluxe was also released on PCs) Fallout (since when dose apocalypse mean end of fun?), Stonekeep (just go look up faire song on Khull-Khuum a story teaser for the game sure was not as high budget as Might&Magic, Ultima, Lands of Lore or what have you but i actualy own coppy of it since 97 so its allright in my nostalgic eyes ), Dune 2 and C&C offcourse but its too obvious hmm maybe earth 2140, purely for hellmaker .] (I would mention Wolf, Doom, duke, Quake, but you know those so instead) Jedi Knight Dark Forces II, Original Strife, ZPC, Darkstone (you know how people loved Dungeon siege ye? well this is same concept but done 5 years ahead of time.... and it did not succeed on such spectacular level... actualy i think it may have lost money) Stonekeep (no not the castle management game from 2001 this one was D&D licensed ... castle management game whuh?) Crussader (either no remorse or no regret is fine, origin rocked), Terminator skynet / Future shock (i am sorry for including badthesda, but back in THOSE days they made games that were unreliable mess but quite impressive), carmageddon, crystal caes, PCman (aka boulder dash who had fling with pacman) sorry ill stop i have way too many games in my library and can not replay them all in timely manner .) much like this era of PC gamming.

Cheers for watching - man, there's so many amazing DOS games out there!

You didn't have to listen to those modem sounds, ATM0 in the modem initialization string would have turned off the speaker.

The 'DOOM' type games have limited appeal and the others looked like Commodore 64 games. Decent games like Simon the Sorcerer 1 & 2 and the Monkey zisland series only seem to be available as short demos. Are the full length versions available for Dosbox ?

[@maluuntheboon]

i think there was also a game called "RoboFriend" - remember anyone? :D
