You don't know about challenges if you didn't play the game on a grayscale monitor incapable of showing the difference between "good" and "bad" potions :(

I didn't play many PC games back then, but Beneath a Steel Sky is definitely my favourite. It was incredibly well detailed for the time, and was pretty hilarious as well. I keep hearing murmurs of a sequel coming out, but I'm not holding my breath.

Xenon 2 Megablast was one of my favorites. Vertical SHMUP with upgrades and HARD AS HELL diifculty, even when it is not a bulhell shooter.

Yes, you could have all that crap around your tiny ship and STILL you die like a rat.
Holy shit, I hadn't seen this game in like 12 years. Cool.

Back in my elementary school days we kids all drooled about a crappy educative platform game. Once you turned off the stupid flow breaking math questions we had so much fun runnin' around generic stages and killin' generic x-shaped baddies (you'd summon a butterfly to dropsome weird pink shit on them. Weird as fuck). Come to think of it, none of us ever finished that game.

The lab guys installed Counter Strike a few years later, but never let us kids play it. I think we stopped being kids back then. Or at least we stopped giving a shit about crappy dos games.

Alone in the Dark 1-3, Ecstatica, Bioforge, Time Gate ... oh I loved those PC-Survival Horro Games too much.

Ecstatica was my absolute Favorite, those elips-gfx where just hilarious. ;D
I gues I played through that game around 20 times.

Other Dos games I played much where:
- Lucas Arts p'n'c Adventures
- X-Com 1 & 2 (terror from the deep was fucking hard!)
- Ego-Shooter (From Wolfensteinf, over Doom 1+2 , to Duke3D... oh I made very nice Deatchmatch maps for Duke3D, but lost them all loooong time ago)
- Heroes of Might and Magic 1-3 (I spend nights with friends on those)
- Appogee + ID JnR like Commander Keen, Bio Menace etc...

And maaaaany more. Dos times where good times :)


Most of the others mentioned here are known good for me.
I played Xenon 2 only on Amiga (guess it was the same like pc version, holy shit that was hard)
C-Dogs was very fun in multiplayer.

Hello Everybody.

I ended the Prince Of Persia 1, the second was tough and I stuck in the final level.
Skyroads,Electro Man, Sokoban, that Super Mario game but the new version who was updated with some new levels-the sound came from the speakers-. Tower of Doom,Doom,Agent,a Chess game -Battle Chess,CD Man(Pac-Man).

I played many of these games in the class and other PC, only Skyroads I played and beat in my pc when it had Windows ME betmeen the new Super Mario PC,called Mario & Luigi.

About it, I expected a port of the "The Simpsons: Arcade game" for Snes or Nes, but they never made it, instead ,they did a bad DOS port of it :(, Out Run,Golden Axe were good ports.

I used in the Win Me something called "Windows ME REAL DOS" to play some DOS GAMES.
I tried DOSBOX but runs slowly.

I did played that Mario Game aswell and it was really Great back in the days. When I look back now I realize that when you did finish the Game you just restarted from the beginning level one but at sunset.

I remember playing one Mario game which teached you how to type. In order to break the question mark blocks you had to type the character appearing on it. Everything was fun and cool until a freakin ´^ | ° or stuff like that appeared.

This was the DOS era so there wasn't an option to change the keyboard locale as you have in windows :P
