MS-DOS games in 1993 (part 1)

[@adriangps9290]

It's 2023 and I'm watching this. Thanks man, you're awesome.

[@uuamenator]

2024. I remember my dad showing me Gobliins 2, and Space quest 5. Good times!

[@ronensero6536]

I remember Rebel Assault was the first CD-Rom PC game I played as a kid when my dad's coworker at the time got a Creative CD-Rom Package for his computer. That game was both jaw dropping for its graphics and also frustrating. Those damn walls and the controls..you really got tired of seeing those crash scenes.

[@ArcadeGames]

Got my first real PC in 1993, 486DX with 33Mhz, 4MB of RAM, 4x or 8x CD-ROM drive. Cost over 3 grand. I had a hay day with all those early DOS games, brings back so many memories, thanks for making this.

[@gabrielmercado4461]

3000?!?!??! FOR THAT. wow, times were so different in that time. look at humanity now, we basically have super computers in the palm of our hands.

[@Thrakus]

+gabriel mercado 10 years before that you would have had to pay 33,000$ by today`s money for that. 8000$ for maxed out XT 4500$ for top of the line video card Well even more for SCSI HD and CD drive that was a metal disk at the time. I think it was called WORM drive.

[@soylentgreenb]

+Gabriel Mercado At the same time, the level of optimism and excitement of the 90's isn't comming back until silicon CMOS is replaced by something substantially better, and that's probably going to be a couple of decades. If CPU performance had kept growing like it did in the 90's (by ~10% IPC per year and ~50% clock speed per year) we'd be rapidly approaching 1 THz processors by now and we still wouldn't have bothered with multicore processors.

[@homejonny9326]

@@Thrakus looking this way technology updates is like out of control...

[@BrassicGamer]

Man you are a legend. I am trawling KZbin to remember long-forgotten games from those classic years and you gave helped me remember so many! Had completely forgotten about Megarace - that game made my jaw drop when i first saw it!

[@redavatar]

1993 & 1994 and even 1995 were amazing years - PC gaming really came of age then.

[@1300l]

Was alive with great parents who downloaded many sharewares with the 14k modem for me and my sister. Great times!

[@ekshalibur]

lol nice google translate

[@hi5gamey211]

Hehe i got 2 harddrives from my older cousin fully loaded with games. There were 20mb of space in them ;-).

[@eustacequinlank7418]

I remember playing Mad Dog Mcree quite a bit in the arcade with a six foot screen to shoot at, we were amazed at good the 'graphics' were, not realising it was a series of filmed cut scenes... we were only about 9 or 10 though. I didn't realise it had been ported to PC.

[@Huddison]

The rebel assault games were amazing back then! Great watch

[@wamenslot]

So much of my childhood here that now i see how happy i was back there. I will always thanks my father for that.

[@ghostridertom]

1993 was a great year :-) I was 13 and played almost all shown games :-) Superb video. Thanks

[@toddmichaeljohnson7139]

GhostriderTom Me too!

[@crushingcrab9666]

and me! respect from Moscow city, bro)))))))))))

[@mrsquishyboots]

I remember seeing flashback on my older neighbors computer and thinking it was the future and this was the best game ever!

[@possumridgeentertainment4614]

You left Robin Hood: Men in Tights out of the movie list. It was the ONLY movie worth seeing that year.

[@Oxxyjoe]

I remember just about 70% of these games. Excellent, and thank you for uploading this!

[@darrylflood2267]

I remember a point-and-click game with a science fiction theme. You hopped aboard some sort of time machine or rocket and were transported to the moon. And the one thing I remember most was that the main character made a reference to "bouncy castles"

[@BronxXxBassTV]

mortal kombat 1-3, doom 1-2, rise of the triad, heretic,duke nukem, day of the tentacle,wolfenstein,pinball dreams .... so much grat games

[@KaBArtStudioStLeonard]

I have been looking yesterday everywhere to find MegaRace! I use to play it all the time when I was little! I forgot what it was called. The memories!!

[@firebladex8586]

Seal Team looks pretty impressive for a 3rd person shooter of that time. I don't remember that title or any other over the shoulder shooters that far back.

[@AloanMoreira1]

12:57 all the filming involved and sprite clean up!

[@Chromotrigger]

The sound effects are so over the top and intertwined in those Goblins-games 😂

[@DomFoxley]

The sound design of Gobliiiins is utterly traumatizing.

[@Snayperskaya]

Love all Dynamix flight sims. Very impressive for their time.

[@DJShire_ATL]

OMG Blake Stone. Such great memories with that game.

[@1985dossantos]

Wow!! Bio Menace was a game I used to play it. How I miss my childhood.

[@Wok_Agenda]

Man I remember the 90s me and my pc and cat all day long , didn't know the shit that future was holding for me

[@Malasawas]

I love the music in these LucasArts Graphic Adventures, they have a lot of a mistery calm jazzy vibe to me...

[@levinaleshure3575]

Thank you so much for thise you tube videos, so fun to see old games i had forget again :D

[@aromaticflower]

Jesus this was a good year. This was my life.

[@janm.4496]

Thanks for this, man. Doing really good work.

[@RossPeterson06]

Oh man! I probably hadn't played MegaRace since I was 6 (I'm 27 now). I've thought about that game a lot, since then, but I never knew the name of it to be able to look it up.

[@polkadechutos5610]

We understand how games could have soul a long time ago, watching to these videos of Nostalgia

[@tartrazine5]

13:51 Wow that's a hell of a cliffhanger to leave us on...

[@andremonte1195]

Very cool clip. I had the Star Wars and revolutionizing the game for graphics. It was shortly after they started releasing games on CD media. And the games point and click (DOTT, Space Quest) were also very nice. It is trite that is not seen that kind of game today. Also remember other titles like LucasArts Monkey Island and Full Trhottle. Congratulations clip.

[@marcinkapinski9537]

33:25 Ehhh... Betrayal At Krondor. One of the best CRPG's of all time. Hundreds of Moredhel assassins slain, spoiled rations eaten, crossbows found, despair thy eyes thrown.

[@mlembrant]

killing spiders at 22:53 sounds like as if someone just crumbles a piece of paper..

[@Loggins1969]

Shadow of the comet -- Vincent Price cameo .. fun!

[@inkajoo]

some very fun looking games here that i never heard of

[@vindicator05]

How f*cking PROGRESSIVE good old Rebel Assault was at that time :)

[@cloudbloom]

Oh my god... I haven't seen these in so long! I played almost every one of these in my early days of playing video games and they were magical. Kids these days seriously don't know what it is like to grow up playing things like these and seeing the progression in gaming step by step to the way it is now. My nostalgia is so intense about old dos and win95 games, my favorite game of all time is quest for glory 1 (VGA remake).

[@FixarJocke]

Thank you so much for your video, been looking for 1 hour now for the game. James Pond 2

[@KniazIgor]

Shadow of the Comet is so far my favourite game. Doom, Sins of the Fathers & Shadows of Darkness will put even more joy into my heart.

[@dosnostalgic]

It's all coming

[@BoM191188]

Thanks that you took the time to list the games!

[@AmayirotAkago]

Oh my gods, it's been far too long since I last played Prehistorik 2. Too bad I don't have it anymore, either :( Lovely video though, much nostalgia and good memories to be had :)

[@GoodMomo]

I see someone else couldn't pass the first level of Rebel Assault haha. It took me months to realize you just needed to pull up while turning to make it past that stupid bend.

[@amandakelly7991]

playing scorched earth anybody remember this?

[@dosnostalgic]

I'm pretty sure everyone here does :)

[@nicolashrv]

the original "worms" game

[@homejonny9326]

These compilations works is for the eternity. Thank you man!

[@demonangel00]

the original duke nukem was so much more entertaining than any of the new ones....

[@Nikulas228]

for the epic pin ball you have 2 machines that are aftermarket.

[@DJTwenty2020]

So so many memories. Thanks for this upload :-)

[@budczus]

I am searching for a game. All i remember is that it was a side scroller, main character was a typical 80's90's punk whiping other punks with chain. Health was restored by drinking sodas. Played on Amiga 500.

[@rareroe305]

Oh man, I played a ton of Star Control II as a kid. But all I did was get into random battles. I'd love to play it again, and have an actual developer-intended experience with it.

[@dosnostalgic]

It is one of the best written games of that era.

[@Hemley1]

I wish I had all the MS-DOS games.

[@hi5gamey211]

Lost wikings, i remember it was so hard for me as a kid! Really good game doh!

[@doctorletsplay]

good time with good game...

[@raafmaat]

Day of The Tentacle BY FAR the best game in here! :)

[@dosnostalgic]

There's 42 more games in part 2!

[@dosnostalgic]

Actually I just realized that I can't count and it's really 32. But I also forgot one. And honestly, there's a bunch of great games here. Space Quest 5 & Goblins 2 are some of my absolute favorites.

[@Tobyisimus]

Duke Nukem 2 was my fav

[@luiscastillo1532]

Very Nice video. Congratulations and thank you very much for the nostalgia. HNY 2018!

[@AloanMoreira1]

well they really made justice to the word: VIDEO games! I wish games could still be done like this!

[@gamingtonight1526]

They were called COMPUTER games back then. The CONSOLE VIDEO games were called VIDEO GAMES, and PC Media copied it. To me, if a game is primarily on PC, it's a COMPUTER game. Designed for console, then put on PC with little change, and it's a VIDEO GAME!

[@AloanMoreira1]

@@gamingtonight1526 A difference I see is that PC games did not try to be too hard like arcade machines were, trying to get your quarter as fast as possible :D

[@MissWitchiepoo]

We had Fury of the furriest but the game always crashed lacking ram. You didn't get far with only 4mb. When we got the computer some airhead who knew nothing about computers said this computer will play any game. So I who knew just as Little fell for that:) But now I see that it looks very much like the Sega game Sonic the hedgehog with the design and coins. We my daughter and I would have loved to play it back then. So thanks for showing it:)

[@oommiinnii]

Apparently action heroes in 1993 were required to wear a red T-shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers and optionally a brown leather jacket.

[@Muscleduck]

I'm glad you unckuded Blake Stone. It's one of my favorite shooters I've ever played but nobody seels to know this game, even though it's by Apogee.

[@TheRealGunfish]

so many good memories.

[@chegadesuade]

Man, great upload, and terrible performance at Aces Over Europe lol

[@fordprefect4728]

I think this yr is the time pc gaming started to really take off.You had some great games like doom,syndicate,myst,several lucas games and also cd-rom was starting to take off aswell.

[@madmurdock1978]

18:23 "But if you are really a hotshot, follow me to the r... Well, never mind *whistles*"

[@blader2themax10]

There was an old game back in the 90s at least that I am trying to find again. All I can remember from my childhood is that there were several vehicles. One was a sort of tank. It was slower, had better handling and lots of armor. There was another car that had two wheels and a hover in the back. It was hard to control, fast and light armored. Try to think Carmageddon meets Quarentine. I know its not much to go on, but it would be awesome if you could help. Thank you

[@dosnostalgic]

How about Big Red Racing?

[@blader2themax10]

+DOS Nostalgia Dang not it. The game I played was a lot darker. Although I had played that game too 😊

[@cruls5026]

+Blader2themax10 describe to me more about it if you can. I may be able to guess it.

[@blader2themax10]

+Robert Binary I remember it had a yellow tank and a two wheeled car the backend hovered there were several vehicles you could pick from. it was sort of a car Deathmatch game. it had older graphics kind of like doom. One of the levels had a giant skull. you are always fighting against AI. that's really all I remember

[@smalon75]

+Blader2themax10 Destruction Derby?

[@dianehall2248]

The title "Fury of the Furries"conjures up somewhat different images today.

[@MattBarton]

Ha! Love that Masterpiece Theater-style intro and context setting. 1993 was quite a year, eh? I think my personal favorites from this list are The Lost Vikings, Maniac Mansion DOTT, Sam and Max, and Betrayal at Krondor. This video must have taken a lot of time to put together. Are you using Dos-Box's built in video cap?

[@dosnostalgic]

Thanks for watching! Yeah. I'm almost afraid to do the 1994 video. Too many awesome games!It didn't take that much time to put together, but I left everything till last minute, so I had to play 60 games in two weeks. And could only edit half of the footage together before the end of 2013, hence the split in two. :)Yes, DosBox's capture all the way. I then ffmpeg it to HD with aspect ratio correction, but no filters, so it doesn't screw up nice & chunky pixels. KZbin compression still smears things a bunch though :(

[@capsuperbok4143]

That game at 24:30 Mad Dog McCree seems awesome and i never heard about it (whish is awesome strange too) So i´m getting it now and it´s only 70Mb! TYVM for your post!

[@randywatson8347]

one must fall, tournament mode. Epic.

[@ChadKeck]

Ah, some great classics here!

[@Davidaug86]

Finally found the game I was looking for! Thanks!

[@drummaboi5879]

art work straight AF in sum these games

[@1lapmagic]

Holy shit I have never heard of or seen Shadowcaster one time and it actually looks pretty awesome

[@toddmichaeljohnson7139]

1lapmagic I still own a CIB copy of Shadowcaster I've had since middle school. DOS games are the best.

[@tuomollo]

The game engine of ShadowCaster was created by John Carmack after Wolf3d and it later evolved to Doom engine.

[@Steve-tk9pv]

Shadowcaster was great. You needed a 486 to run it though. Most Origin games had higher system requirements.

[@moonpatrol9717]

yeah I was stuck with a 386 and always envied my mate's 486 especially when he got Hexen (or was that Heretic?) can't remember

[@Steve-tk9pv]

You could run Heretic on a 386 at low res but Hexen required a 486. Hexen is sort of a sequel to Heretic and is notable for its pushing the limit of the Id Doom engine.

[@Zellig]

11:17 and I thought the noises The Sims make were horrifying.

[@CristianoPalmer]

I like old games!!

[@Anthony99]

Day of the Tentical is definitely #1 from this list, although Sam & Max was an amazing game...! I know you can DOS box a lot of these, but I wish developers would recreate these with new graphics & animation; that play natively on modern PC's.

[@martijnvanzanen4075]

Ahh, Goblins 2 was epic. Fun game:)

[@AloanMoreira1]

I guess games in the likes of 13:00 would be a quarter muncher if it had been distributed in arcade cabinets! 13:58 that game must have taken a lot of work to be done. To bring all that footage into a game! awesome! are there more games like that? 18:50 - wow this one is very nice too! and I love the banding colors on that pixel art at 18:58 . Is there a program to convert a photograph into banding colors like that? the closest I got was making it into a Vector, but that kind of isn't original. The other way was using quantization lowering the colors but that leaves noise which was already present in the image... wow, then at 25:01 - I thought I had seen enough... so sad they don't make games like this anymore... :(

[@SOAMLE]

These games were magical

[@Cake...]

Omg. Seal Team. How good a game was that!

[@marathonsixactual4470]

damn i loved all the old school games

[@donwald3436]

1:43 Hey... This is Prince of Persia with guns!

[@Christopher-N]

(30:50) Was _Alien Breed_ (1991/93) inspired by _Into the Eagle's Nest_ (1987)? It's an uncanny resemblance in game play, and the character's death spin.

[@sligacheese6470]

I had to reinstall my win xp sp3 32bit version I had to many programs conflicting with each other. Now I can play Myth The fallen lords and Medieval total war plus my win 95/98 games work again ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Games in 1990s = 10hs of gameplay with 5min of cutscenes. Games in 2010s = 10hs of cutscenes with 5min of gameplay.

[@phreeze83]

aces of the pacific / over europe was a really great game ! I never got hot with the Goblins games, I guess I sucked too much and then lacked of motivation ^ The early 90s were also THE time to play pinball games, epic ! (ho ho...)

[@krashd]

The three biggies on Amiga were Pinball Dreams, Pinball Fantasies and Pinball Illusions by Digital Illusions Corporate Entertainment (DI C.E.), a small Swedish developer who would go on to create the Battlefield series.

[@phreeze83]

yeah i like them too, first played them on PC; but own the SNES versions too :) the pc versions are a bit better because of the PC performance

[@fritagogo1]

Interesting ? I play about +1000 games since 1975 to 1995 ! But i forget ! ??? All Dos games is here ?... I remember the best only ... Fast tracker for create MIDI music I know... Fun... with friends, build a bomberman games for 8 players ( freeware ). But lost in time...
