Found this great article on DOS retro gaming that’s well worth a read and highlights some real memorable games from yesteryear.
If I had to pick three favorites from those listed it would have to be -
Prince of Persia – I don’t think I’ll ever tire of this game. Especially on the IBM PC….and the Commodore Amiga….oh and the original Gameboy.
Loom – A cracking adventure game from Lucasart with a novel twist of having to play music notes on your keyboard to cast spells. (I could easily have picked The Secret of Monkey Island here but I play it so often that Loom makes a refreshing change.
Commander Keen – Remember this from my days working at IBM and couldn’t get enough of these early platform games from Id Software.
What an awesome page, thanks! It’s made me finally get around to downloading Dosbox. Just need to get it running now…
Yeah pretty cool isn’t it and DOSbox is simply fantastic. You should check out http://www.abandonia.com/ for plenty of old DOS games.
