Nice to see Triplane Turmoil mentioned. In 90s Finland was in deep recession and people didn't have as much disposable income for new computers and games, so a domestic shareware video game scene was born. They were games for 386/486 computers and the major distinctive feature was as you noticed the hot-seat multiplayer on one keyboard - I think some games even supported 6 players simultaneously on one keyboard which was insanity! Some other games from this era which are on par with Triplane I could mention are Wings (cave flyer), Mine Bombers (an advanced Bomberman clone), Slicks'n'Slide (top down racing), Liero (means "wriggly earthworm" - real-time Worms sibling), Fuse (third person RTS or something, hard to explain) and my favorite Threat (top down shooter). Some of these games can be found on Internet Archive, highly recommended for that unique multiplayer experience :)

I have around 3700 dos games, from 1980 to 2003. I collected them over the years, and at some point (when I did not had space to keep them) I started to copy them on CDs and sold the original media and packages. Now I have all my collection on a HDD (some 30G unpacked) that I hooked to a P1@100. I play them whenever I have time. Ofcourse I do not have all the games that ever existed for dos (you presented some games I do not have nor did I know they existed) but I am happy to be able to play them. Especially those games that I enjoyed when I got them.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

What a collection! Similar to that of ExoDOS. I'm considering downloading the package for the sake of easy of playing too. Especially that I have no classic systems that I could play them.

@@OldAndNewVideoGames In 2001 I sadly lost all my data CDs, floppy, HDD backups. Then, from 2005 I became a data hoarder, collecting software, operating systems, games.

@@OldAndNewVideoGames Well, that is the copyright issue, and also the fact that many games do not work without the copy protections so...

However, some things like old/obscure dos/win3x/win9x drivers, some old and obsolete dos programs I uploaded to archive site as well as few shareware/promo CDs that I still have. I also contemplating the idea of sharing them over P2P but it seems that torrents and other sharing networks are not used anymore as they used to be.

I had no idea there was a game that was just the minigames from Conquest of the Longbow 😂 I loved that game (the full one). Also have very fond memories of Codename: Iceman and Thexder. (EDIT: And Gold Rush! Oh, that game was such bullshit but also so charming.) Scanning through and just seeing what's in here, hoping I'll come across Space: 1889 from 1990 before the end (if you haven't already covered it in some other video). Also, the reason I found your channel - I'm trying to remember a DOS game that I assume must have been shareware, where you're controlling a soldier from a top-down perspective crawling his way through trenches trying to infiltrate enemy territory (or maybe escape)? This would have been 5.25 floppy disk Tandy 1000 era stuff. Any ideas? (EDIT: Found it! Airborne Ranger! You covered it in your 10 Years of DOS Gaming video. Thanks again!)

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Well, whichever the way you got here, I'm glad that you did, and that you found the game you were looking for. I'm pretty sure, that I've also covered Airborne Ranger for C64, which was an achievement in its own right on such a small system. Still, I release videos weekly, at least 2-3 of them, so if you're into games, mostly older ones, then you'll find them here. :)

I remember playing a game when I was a kid a old game that was like a SCUMM sci-fi game that you would be some spaceship captain or something. visiting a planet(or crashing on it or something like that ) that had a peculiar 3d art. I remember that at some point you would get some tools like screwdrivers but they all looked lightsabers. there was a section that had a desert with a mirage that you could click to walk towards it but you would never reach . and there was a place with trees with fruits of different colors and shapes and there was some puzzle I could never solve with it. I don't remember the game name. Can you help?

Strangest things happened for those of us who discovered Elastomania thanks to its flash game era on newgrounds (or other game sites). i never even knew there was action supercross untill uf this deacade. i do own the GoG pack featuring both ActionSupercorss and Elastomanias, because i find the surreal physics excellent, and some levels quite impressive given its limitations especialy on Flash platform. as always these videos are fascinating peer into what i personaly conssider golden age of gaming (well for me anyways) sure i own far more games now than i ever did back than but a lot of those are just nostalgic throwbacks to the era (eternal castle should be played by everyone who likes the Flashback or another world) or some form of update to work on win 10s. Something about dos and earlier windows games just dose it for me so well. The 3d FX era in particular being absurd heights of creativity from strange limitations.

[@OldAndNewVideoGames]

Well, technical limitations, and there were plenty of these in mid 90s, breed creativity. Creativity to overcome them, or workaround them. Today, we're in the age when we can make any game, given enough budget and talent is thrown at it. There are no barriers. I mean have you seen latest Unreal Engine presentations? It's ridiculous what's possible today. Back then, it seems that the walls of what is and isn't possible where everywhere, and devs had to really give their best to make something great.

[@nameless5413]

@@OldAndNewVideoGames Very good point - limitations breeding creative solutions is very well documented trope. I marvel at solutions that MicroProse especialy made - were it Chris Sawyer, Geoff Carmmond or whoever else they developed Transport Tycoon / Grand Prix (at the time simulation now it falls under more of a simcade) - measuring stick of quality in their repsective genres and yes to this day i hold (open) TTD as leader in the transport games. sorry for seremon .) 90s games get me excited Oh and for EGA / CGA graphics i mildly disagree, like any art style it can be done badly but Eternal Castle did prove it can be done also very well. i mostly attribute the badness of that plaette to people not developing good enough graphical skills at the time... for most part. i am certain there must have been gorgeous games at the time within the palette.

"worm" type games (pizza worm, yes i am slowly wading through the video at questionable pace still) must have been something rather popular in arcade, i reckon it could have lived alongside pongs and Puckmen. Basing this opinion on the existence of "Vlak" a game i played a looooong time ago that uses same concepts and tries to have fancy sprites (it is bit more logic based, i think it could be little bit inspired by boulder dash as well). not entirely sure when it releasd but looks like early 90s at least.

Potentialy even leading to games like IL2 Sturmovik doing far better than one would expect from such a speciality type game. (i mean i bloody played it and i dont even like simulators of any ilk, just simcades lie Geoff Carmmond's F1 GP or Froza Horizon 4 or Asetto Corsa or... ahrem three examples is enough XD). you pulling the audience's middle leg there mr. creator? Whoa just how impactfull was wasteland? it spawned Fallout it had garnered so much love from fans that there are two sequels (one of which i backed on Kickstarter, both of which i own). there are also games like Atom RPG, Beautiful desolation that are enamoured with the style of stortelling and just general way the game is played, and now i learn that the evil arseholes made their own attempt at it?

I also have Encase, and even player 2-3 hours through it, and it seemed fun, but something else grabbed my attention, and I just never came back to it. Oh, I love the post-apo too. Or mostly post-apo, cause your theme-interest is actually tad wider. But Fallouts and Wastelands are my jam. Especially the "good" Fallout games., I liked the Outer Worlds too, it was fun, but not the same thing.

@@OldAndNewVideoGames Outer worlds is setting wise very different but dose have some thematic overlap. i do enjoy it but on different level. Bessides i like rather broad types of games (for example Hitman World of ass ass -innation trilogy was fun, even tho sneaking is not my thing i do play things in genre like Styx and first Theif game.) some already mentioned lovelys from Micro Prose are also my thing but when it gets too complicated or dependent on reactions i flaunder good example of this is my incompetence in Commandos, Cannon Fodder, Sindicate/wars etc. which i find baffling given my undying love for TTdL... i even enjoy oddball/artfull things like Abzu, Aer, Geenesis Noir... but overall yes my preference for macabre dose tend to dominate as long as the game dose not just outright insult me (Riight indigo prophecy, the council and many many more?). i reckon i have very specific view of how game should not be made and whenever intro to game just decides to not let me choose even tho i should be i usualy uninstall. even gave up on irony courtain because of such sheninigans.

@@nameless5413 You do indeed have an original outlook on games and gaming, but it's OK. It's good that we're all a bit different, cause "same" is boring, and invites no conversation just a head nod and a smiley. When people differ, that's when they can exchange opinions, experiences and discuss up and down sides of various choices and mechanics. So, it's cool. I've been very much into "talking" games in the last decade, games where my choices matter, and each conversation is crucial, and action is limited to minimum. Outside of my usual fave genres that is. But yeah, I've been a lot into games that are as opposite to Macabre as possible I think - stuff like Life is Strange, Detroit: Become Human, and the likes. ;)

Well, I suppose you don't need Steam for classic games. ;)
