So I installed DOSbox

Vgfian · 09-30-2011, 01:52 PM

and I have Daggerfall already, are there any other games someone might suggest I check out?

**Loot** · 09-30-2011, 01:59 PM

This is a good start. Not everything can be downloaded for whatever reason, but if you're going for the old Maxis-Sim games or whatever, that's the site.

Jere · 09-30-2011, 02:28 PM

yeah abandonia is a great start then you have to get the folowing:

Sim tower
Train escape from normandie
little big adventure (hard as ****)
Ignition (nostalgiafactor atleast for me)
civ
civ 2
Duke 3D
The oregon trail
Pirates
pirates 2
raid on booty bay
Dink smallwood *chuckle*
And theme hospital

And many more!

Syndicate was a game I played in my youth. You control a corporation and embark on missions with a squad of (up to) four cyborg agents. Pretty fun game, though it might not have aged well in terms of controls.

Sim Kid · 09-30-2011, 06:19 PM

Oh darn it I was going to post Abandonia. :V

Well I think I'll channel Codiekitty and suggest you play Lemmings for DOS.

Vgfian · 09-30-2011, 06:22 PM

There were like 5 or 6 lemmings games so I got them all. >.>;;
xD Thanks a load, guys, hoping this will last me a while.

This is one instance in which I recommend NOT getting the Mega Man games.

***Cosmonautical*** · 10-01-2011, 12:23 AM

!!!! Dude, what kind of games are you looking for? Because I love old PC games. If you don't have a lot of experience with the older pc genres, they are different, as in there are genres that no longer exist in the same form, many of which were never successfully ported.

Two of the best sidescrollers you could ever play are Commander Keen episodes 4-6 and Duke Nukem 2. DN2 isn't like the later games, in that it's not filled to the brim with facetious womanizing.

Jere · 10-01-2011, 01:36 AM

Don't forget the Dizzy games A.I, can't say that i have played them much myself but they are classics.

**Valigarmander** · 10-01-2011, 03:58 PM

The only games I believe I have now that I need DOSbox to run are ADOM and Ultima Underworld. Both are pretty neat.

Prince Toad · 10-01-2011, 10:31 PM

I don't think you need anything special for ADOM. I've been playing that on and off for years on Windows. Fantastic game.

**Valigarmander** · 10-02-2011, 12:45 AM

^ I tried ADOM on my laptop and I wasn't able to run it without DOSbox. I'm using Windows 7 now, if that makes any difference.

Prince Toad · 10-02-2011, 04:30 PM

I'm on 7 too, works for me. You're here?

ADOM - Download

And downloading adom_winbeta4.zip?

Jere · 10-02-2011, 04:39 PM

still haven't figured out the compability mode for simtower, sad mode engaged!

**Loot** · 10-02-2011, 05:40 PM

Jere, I don't know about 7, but on my Vista laptop I didn't need to run Dosbox or anything, Simtower worked perfectly on its own.

Jere · 10-02-2011, 05:49 PM

yeah but the issue is my 64 bit OS
