My 10 Favourite DOS Games of 1993

[@giancarloc1985]

Doom and SimCity 2000. I put so many hours into both. SimCity 3000 was my favorite of the series, but 2000 is a definite classic.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

I think SimCity 4 was my fave. That said, I easily spend the most time playing 2000, and it's the only one I periodically come back to for an odd game or two.

[@WizardClipAudio]

That video caption totally felt like 1993❤.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Thanks! :)

[@TeaAndFloppyDisks]

Oh, I just love this series so far! This is one of your best videos yet, a real masterpiece. :) Your stories of your childhood are really sweet and very relatable too. Thank you for the nostalgia trip! :) Oh, yes. I feel that a two-bacon like needs to be invented for this one. :D 🥓🥓 I've only played MK2, Pinball Dreams (ooh, pinball!) and Fury of the Furries. Not the actual Doom yet, just mods. But I'm itching to try the rest too. I agree with you that playing with friends (or family too, of course) is so much better and even single player games can be made multiplayer with a bit of imagination. :)

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

A double Bacon! That's a new one! :) And I'm glad that you like it. I doubt that this will become popular but after many lista of the best, most popular or unknown, it's sometimes fun to tackle those games that I liked. Even if some overlap.

[@TeaAndFloppyDisks]

@@OldAndNewVideoGames It really is awesome, honestly. :) It's more than just a list of games. It's a list of memories. And they make the games so much better.

[@GreySectoid]

A very good list, Cannon Fodder is such an underrated classic, I played it all the way through on 386 PC :)

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Did you ever get to see Amiga's intro? It's so much better than the prerendered stuff PC got. It's worth to look it up!

[@GreySectoid]

@@OldAndNewVideoGames I have seen it on youtube afterwards, the amiga version is of course superior in this case :) man those were the days when the both computers were trading blows head to head, I must admit we PC owners were often in the receiving end x)

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

@@GreySectoid Yep, late 80s and early 90s were definitely much better to the Amiga. But then, it stopped competing and eventually went bankrupt, so we are where we are today, thanks to Commodore's failures. ;)

[@Ravenlock]

Man. What a year. Pirates Gold, Doom, Mortal Kombat and SimCity 2000 are all unquestionable all-timers, but Cannon Fodder and Day of the Tentacle are just as memorable IMO.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

I was playing all these like crazy. In fact, not only then, but for many years after, and I still do even today.

[@AndroidFerret]

Carmageddon 1, duke nukem, quake 1, chasm, descend, elite, interstate76 (not sure if that was dos), road rage

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

All great game, literally neither of them released in 1993 though ;)

[@randirbox]

I would say. 1. Elite. Nether really played that but it was just impressive, despite wireframe graphics. We will found Raxxla, one day. 2. Master of Orion. It required some extra memory, so I've need to load it from floppy drive. And these 3. Warcraft, Orcs and Humans. Too bad they nether made another game after Warcraft III, Frozen Throne. 😼 Anyway, Day of Tentacles with Founding Father Washington declaring all households need a vacuum cleaner in their basement was way too hilarious to miss, I agree.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

They've tried with the remake but wet all know how it went. ;) And yeah, everything from LucasArts until 1996/7 was pure gold!

[@pju28]

Still a pleasure to see your videos! Hope you are well and n good health! Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Thanks, yep, I'm fantastic. Currently on holiday in Japan, standing in a small watering hole in Shinjuku Golden-Gai, stopping in gin and tonic, listening to an older dude singing karaoke and replying to comments. :)

[@RudolfSikorsky]

1993. That was year of MUME for me. Being a University student, living in dorm, there was no way for PC. But I could always visit university's internet center (a building with few Unix machines with all those wonderful terminals), ignore all the folks wanting to read their e mail and dive into text based Tolkien world. I almost dropped out of University because of it, MUME was serious stuff.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

It sounds like it was! You know I kinda did not want to go to Uni after High School either and just relax for a year, but sadly, back then here, it was not an option. xD

[@RudolfSikorsky]

@@OldAndNewVideoGames Yeah, pretty much same. Couldn't break my mother's heart who wanted to see me in University. Because my uncles son was in already and there was some kind of rivalry that children fought too without knowing why.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

@@RudolfSikorsky Funny times these were, weren't they? :)

[@RudolfSikorsky]

@@OldAndNewVideoGames Absolutely. And even if life was harder (post soviet Estonia) in economical aspect, it was better than now in almost any other category.

[@Toon_Pirate]

One Step Beyond makes me miss mascot games. I think we should bring the concept back. There are probably a lot of companies who would benefit from a tie-in game. Gimme a Chiquita bananas point and click where you play as the Chiquita lady solving banana-related crimes.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Sounds like a potential point'n'clicker.

[@VEC7ORlt]

Was expecting Lotus III there as well, but its 1992, heh.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Yep :)

[@haterealm]

Lotus III for DOS has been released in 1993

[@Shishkebarbarian]

My friend, we had similar year! Doom, Mortal Kombat, Pinball Dreams and Cannon Fodder were repeated favorites on our PC at the time! And of course, SimCIty 2000... i played that game for like 6 years straight. Day of the Tentacle & Pirates! Gold are favorites of mine today, but at the time i was too young and my English wasn't as good to be able to get into them.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

These were all incredible games indeed, English it not you definitely had some fun!

[@kerpal321]

80s and 90s forever

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Great times indeed! :)

[@Dorelaxen]

Sam and Max Hit the Road for me. Still one of my favorites.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Classic LucasArts humour, graphics, animation, attention to detail and atmosphere. Great game all around!

[@saintbart7408]

Have a good time in Japan 🇯🇵 👌🏽👍🏽Thanks for great vid. Amazing look back into my teenage reality 😃👏🏽

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Glad you liked it! I bet most of us had similar teenage experiences.

[@teddykayy]

Games were so joyful back then

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

They still are, there's just so many of them now that is more difficult to find a genuinely great ones.

[@teddykayy]

@@OldAndNewVideoGames ya true We're spoiled for choice

[@esteemedyams]

Please don't take this the wrong way, but could you upload the same videos without commentary? There's nothing wrong with the commentary at all, it's just that me and my friend really like to get together on weekends, drink a few beers, talk and just look at footage from old games, but so few people upload footage without commentary, it's like we've already seen it all.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

I get where you're coming from, and I understand the appeal of a drink, a buddy, and a retro gaming convo. I have a buddy for that too, but it's not that kind of a channel. Sorry. I do leave a source channel name baner for each game so that should be helpful. Also, Major Thriftwood is a great to go place for high-quality non commentary footage. Mind you, he competes the games, so that's not just short clips.

[@aerouge4492]

I really like this series.❤

I also put the most hours into frontier elite 2 and xcom 1 and 2 out of probably any games in the 90s

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

You could risk saying that they were just the best games of the era.

[@AdrianuX1985]

Czy wrzuciłeś to wideo podczas pobytu w Japonii? Zapytałem, ponieważ pojawiło się około północy czasu polskiego.

[@KDis0815]

I'm surprised that one Step beyond hasn't a mobile port.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

It would made for an awesome game too. But it's probably licensing issues between the dev and advertiser.

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

19:12 *throws my NES gun angrily to the ground* this game of Duck Hunt is bullsh it!

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

LOL :)

[@twankistevenson3884]

I never played Elite 2 on my Amiga just because the OG ate up so much of my time back on the speccy and C64 and based on the reviews I knew if I got it history would be repeated. Pretty much the amount of free time that ended up going into sim city 2000

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Yep, you would sink in it. Though it has to be said that Frontier ran much better on PC.

[@lurkerrekrul]

Pinball Dreams - I loved the Amiga version, but the DOS version just didn't feel right. It was ported by Spidersoft and none of their pinball games were all that popular. Pinball Fantasies on DOS was a much better port. Fury of the Furries - This was also released with a Pac-Man theme as Pac In Time.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

I agree, but I also don't. You know, so that is more fun. ;) I agree that SpiderSoft knew very little about pinballs. But Pac-in-time was definitely not a port of Fury of the Furries, it was so botched, so remade that to be at least (SNES version) was not fun. Line at all.

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

11:21 Well, pregnancy tests run on a binary code: either you're preggo (1) or you're not (0), so the code to run Doom is already there...

[@Atlas_Redux]

The pregnancy test thing is half-fake. It's only used as monitor. It doesn't run any game code.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

I saw an interesting representation of Internet on the form of an interactive machine with white and black balls representing 1s and 0s in a science museum recently, so I suppose it could run it too. ;)

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

28:10 you wanted to check out diarrhoea? O.o

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

I never do. It just happens from time to time ;)

[@rayceeya8659]

Day of the Tentacle! Lucas Arts was on Fire back then! RIP Lucas Arts and FU Disney for killing one of the best game publishers in history.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

I usually don't go so intensive on stuff but this time i totally agree. Lucasarts was the best and it for destroyed by Disney!
