ANOTHER 101 MS DOS GAMES (1980-1997)

[@Aiijuin]

My favorite games of the DOS era were Doom, Doom II, Quake, Heretic, Ultima Underworld I & II, Leisure Suit Larry 6: Shape up or slip out, Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness, and Myst. I miss these days. There is Steam to replay most of them. I’m grateful for the availability of the games.

[@maximumhate666]

Those were the times! Full immersion because of gameplay and atmosphere. Not just graphics.

[@josh1234567892]

I’m too young to have been around for dos games but it’s been a blast trying some of these games out on dosbox. Thanks for the list!

[@moussse213]

Thank you so much! I just found a name of the game that I was searching for a couple of years - Challenge of the Ancient Empires. Hurray!

[@Alexander_Pisklov173]

The same, but the game is "Airborne Ranger". I was played in this game on turbo xt, witch still working.

[@samehkorashee9925]

[@ram0973]

Oh my god! I find Shamus! Recently I has suddenly remembered the old game with labyrinth and it's name begins with S. Only here I have found it!

[@JungonJun]

I think we need 101 more, because I still didn't see Volfied,... Creepers,... Contraption Zack.... D-Generation, and...... Life & Death! 1 and 2 =D But yeah, lots of nostalgia here and there!

[@Tofi_ytchannel]

OMG 1989 Street Rod! Best game ever xD so many good memories from my elementary school years

[@FeCAzorius]

Simant! One of my all time favorite games! There is nothing quite like it yet. The whole campaign mode, where you try to take over the yard and the house. While dealing with a rival ant colony, and humans. You could get stepped on, eaten by a spider or ant lion, drowned in rain, mowed up by a lawn mower, and killed from starvation or fighting other ants. I wish they had a modern version of this game! It was so great!

[@kurisuchan07]

I've been spending days looking for a game I played when I was young and I finally found it here. It's Shamus. Thank you!!!!!!!

[@shepherdsgamingrun]

13:34 "What can you tell me about... voodoo?" This is actually the first adventure game that I enjoyed. Between the brilliant writing and the voice acting, it was one of the most memorable for me.

[@seld2040]

Thank you for the hard work, i'm still looking for some I played that are not as popular, but maybe in the future I'll find them.

My first computer was Atari 800xl but in the 80s, in school, I used to play on zx sepectrum 80 and 81 aaaaaa lot. Now i own xbox series x but never felt such butterflies in my stomach before the gameplay like in those ancient times😃

[@ScorpiusZA.]

3 lists and Bubble Bobble is not in any of them....... I abused that game so much growing up.

[@someperson8151]

Aces Over The Pacific and Aces Over Europe was a fun game.

[@jerrygreenest]

19:46 This KKnD game, despite having weird name and being created in 1997, has quite wonderful graphics/animation/design actually

[@saquoiafighter]

It stands for Kill, Krush, n Destroy! There's a sequel.

[@JakZie]

not sure if this was already pointed out, but this game 2:35 is not "Ninja", it's actually "Shadow Knights - The Shogun of Death", developed by id Software and published by Softdisk in 1991. The "Ninja" game is a 1987 port of 1986 game that was developed by Sculptured Software and released by Mastertronic on various 8-bit computers, which later got ported to 16-bit micros.

[@seamusquain2706]

Hey at 18:83, WHAT THE HECK IS THE NAME OF THIS 3D RACING GAME?! I think the text might have been corrupted or something and my curiosity is going ***WILD***

[@JakZie]

@@seamusquain2706 That would be Screamer 2.

[@apparentlyplant9309]

Thanks so much for these. Trying to think of some old DOS game we used to play maybe before '93 that had a medieval theme with darts that a changing wind trajectory could make you miss, also had some kind of buggy unlocking castles with keys system. I watch these and think, "wow these games are so cool! I remember redneck rampage etc" but none are the game i'm thinking of, time to watch the 4th video haha thanks again

[@eRR0Rq]

Some unmentioned games I have fond memories of: Tetris (1988), Indianapolis 500: The Simulation (1989), Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra (1991), Mad TV (1991), Warlords II (1993), Battle Isle 2200 (1994), WarCraft II: Tides of Darkness (1995), Ascendancy (1995, it's flawed though), Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars (1996), M.A.X.: Mechanized Assault & Exploration (1996, this must be the best looking DOS game). And some obscure oddballs that are among my favorite games: Atomix (1990), Spaceward Ho! (1992), Unnatural Selection (1993), Flame Dragon 2: Legend of Golden Castle (1995).

[@lipesco]

Here are some of the games I played like Jordan vs Bird One on One, Pipe Mania, Centurion, Stellar 7, Blues Brothers, Chuck Yeager Air Combat, F-117A, Indiana Jones and Last Crusade, Metal Mutant, WWF. Old times! :)

[@geometricart7851]

"Jashiin, the emperor of Chaos" that's funny that "emperor " looks awfully like an Empress

[@InkyChloeGarcia]

I'm loving these tidbits, but I'm surprised you haven't seem to have played Ravenloft: The Stone Prophet! It was released in 1995 and I still have the original disc it came on, and even installed dosbox just to give it another go. And with this worldwide social isolation thing going on, it gives you even more of a reason to play computer games.

[@ClownCharBro]

0:39 Use kick nuts! A Crittical Hit! it's super effective!

[@petefrancisco3267]

Those game versions are best played on Win98! To make it work, I made a Dual Boot for 98 & XP on a separate partition ages and ages ago! I dont know if it still possible these days.. Ancient games are for geniuses, you need programming skills to make it work :P

[@LightwaveAl]

Windows 98 Lite FTW 😉

[@lordterra1377]

@@LightwaveAl You can do it through a VM, but in most cases its easier to use Dosbox. If you have actual vintage hardware it's very easy to make a slick Win 98 rig with some modern parts. Phil's computer lab is a great website to help you get up and running. It has also a premade Dos config and driver's uploaded. So if you're willing to spent a little bit of time you can easily get a super charged Dos/Win98 system with no headaches.

[@jamessalter3623]

Love the videos! Does anyone remember a game made up of 3D wireframe graphics, where you control a ball racing along a floating track against other spheres? The track winds around like a rollercoaster. I think it had green speed boosts and jumps in it, plus from what I remember, it was super easy to fall off the track. I've tried looking on the internet everywhere for it! If anyone knows what I'm talking about that would be amazing. I'm certain it was a DOS game.

[@RichardCJohnson]

Buzz Aldrin’s Race Into Space was ACE!!! I managed to land on the moon in 1968 😁 Playing as the USSR it was almost impossible to win. I remember when Comanche was first previewed about a year before it came out and it looked amazing, but when it was finally released it only scored average as the gameplay was dull and the graphics were nowhere near as good as they’d seemed. Oh and I like that music 😁

[@PumoSoftware]

From the ones I used to play I think the only ones that are not covered in your three videos so far are Stonekeep, Cyberia II, Alien Rampage and J-Bird. If you want to count also kids' games, Scooter's Magic Castle and Eagle Eye Mysteries in London were also good in their category. Still, a lot of the ones from the three videos have been part of my beloved DOS game collection. Descent my favorite game EVER, by the way! :D

[@itildude]

Mechwarrior! I was looking for that. Man does that take me back.

Hi, can anyone remember the name of this isometric puzzle game: You control a small purple square on green square platforms. You can move from platform to platform. Once you leave a platform it disappears. You can either move to the adjacent platform or jump to the one after that. The goal is to find the right way to land on every green platform (respectively to make all green platforms disappear). The platforms are floating in space. These are all the clues i have :(

[@georgemercer402]

I have 9 out of 12 AD&D DOS games and really want to play them on a compatible PC, but don't know if it's possible; the Eye of the Beholder trilogy will complete the series which I DON'T have.

[@matthewflanagan9097]

I loved Max, Dr Fluke Hawkins and Kurt!

[@NixtonV]

God, there’s this game I used to play as a kid, I think late 90’s early 2000s. It was a fighting game with only two characters, a male and a female, each with a red and a blue skin. I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. I keep hoping one of these videos will have it, but so far to no avail

[@7thangelad586]

Flightmare! Never knew the name of it. How about Rogue and Castle, both subtitled The Adventure?? And more text adventures! I recall a Mars mission and a western where you’re looking for gold. You can dig in areas and get the remark “Dagnabit! There’s nothing here!”

[@Diwwah]

Looks like it was about '89 when the PC finally caught up and surpassed C64 game graphics. Sound-wise it was even later.

[@kramersteensymes3523]

Looking for a classic dos game that was 3d polygon style, First cutscene you were skydiving and had to land on a truck. I cant for the life of me find that game now, I do know at the time the same system had sky or die, 3d chess and a printer that used that continuous paper with the dots on the side as tracks. .

[@taemeister9302]

you rock! nice videos!

[@JomeG]

Literally there's that one game which I cannot find and I've literally been searching for a year now 💀 It's a game a lot like that spaceship game called *dove* or *astrobatics* or *stargunner* but with some differences: whenever you defeat the *boss* of the level you are in, you *take their weapon* and advance to the next level with the selection of their weapon or your old weapon and so on. One of the bosses' *weapons* was literally *black orbs* , and another had a *flamethrower* . It's a pixelated 2D game, of course, and the spaceship is situated on the left and its facing the right. The level moves from right to left and you're advancing from left to right *facing other smaller spaceships throughout the level* that you kill for extra tweaks and perks here and there. It also had a *2-player option* if I might add.. If anyone remembers the name of this game it'd be a lifesaver 😭

Hi to everyone, im looking for a very specific game that i used to play when i was a kid and can't find anywhere. It's a platform pixel game, you are a guy that must get from point A to B, you're like a pixel stick guy and i remember that in the first level there's like a white pixels rain falling slowly from the top. Its like the game in minute 0:32 but the guy is just a few pixels combinated, nothing else. I really need to find that game cause it brings back so good memories from childhood and used to play it with my brother and sister with excitement. We used to play it in a very old PC, Probably with a really old version of windows (Less than 95) but i was really young to remember specifically, so not sure it was MSDOS too. Thanks to anyone that can help!!

Maybe you can help me find the old game I've been lookin for because i cant for the life of me remember the name of it, I was a futuristic style top-down view game I played from an old 3½ inch floppy disk. You play as this vehicle (cop maybe) that you navigate through the city defeating attackin forces with a bit of a story to it, Getting to the end of the gameplay realising it was only part 1 but didnt have any more floppy disks to continue\finish the game... Anyone have any ideas?

[@seth7764]

I have been watching the videos back to back looking for a game from my childhood, someone please help me! I used to play it on PC back in the late 90's (MAYBE early 2000's but I am pretty sure it is a 90's game). The game was a 2D side scrolling type of game. You play as a man and at the very start there is a little cut scene before you play of a castle under attack by monsters (orcs, goblins?) and in a tower in the castle a wizard puts a necklace on you and you basically teleport away. I think you had a shotgun to kill the monsters and some minor puzzle solving. I remember when the monsters died they would like bleed everywhere and collapse. I also remember you could get these remote control bombs that you could use to navigate throughout the screen and blow up on a monster. That is all i got, please help me!

[@seth7764]

OMG I just saw it on this video, it is Blackthorn!

[@alextemp1995]

[@gohan3107]

Does anyone know a game that was a character with green hair, who had 3 powers fireball, ball (which looked like water), and a green tornado, the powers were selectable. I remember that the levels were also selectable, there was a forest, an ocean, a tree like the one with magic beans, etc. The game I think was for PC Windows 98. In one level we were fighting a witch who was throwing hearts at us and we had to kick them back or hit her with our hands. In the tree level we had to reach the top and get a key to enter a castle. Please, if anyone knows him, let me know, I would really appreciate it.
