* {LAW} Gamer_2k4 checks his DOS games folder...

Looks like I have Ascendancy, Cannon Fodder, Crime Fighter, Death Rally, Descent, Little Fighter, One Must Fall 2097, Prince of Persia, Railroad Tycoon (yes, the original one!), Simcity (again, the original), Simfarm, Tyrian 2000, and Warlords 2.

All good games, of course.

Only anime shows I've felt any interest in over the years are Pokemon (original TV series) and various hentai.
so clearly jgrp is a goddamn anime connoisseur. his opinion might as well be law here.

Alot of those games have improved, modern ports.



But, anyways:

Bio Menace, Monster Bash, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, Halloween Harry (aka Alien Carnage), Raptor: Call of the Shadows, Commander Keen (any of em are awesome), Stunts, Box World, Bubble Bobble, Major Stryker, Duke Nukem I or II...  Are probably my favorite DOS Games...  Give em a whack, especially Commander Keen, Cosmo, and Raptor.

Yes, all of these are great. A few years back when my primary computer was a 400Mhz Pentium 2 without a real video card, I spent hours on end playing these games. My older brother gave me a cd distributed by Apagee with around a thousand shareware versions of these on it.

I can't believe no one's mentioned Wolfenstein 3D yet. I think it's good enough to buy the full version off of ebay.
There are other worlds than these

...One Must Fall 2097... Tyrian...
...Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure... Commander Keen...
Oh boy, those bring back memories, I loved those games to pieces as a kid! There was also a few others I remember vaguely - Radix: Beyond the Void and Descent come immediately to mind - both first-person shooters taking place inside of a ship, both good fun as well.

Word Rescue.

YES.  FUCK YES TO THE MAX.

Also, Math Rescue.  I prefer Math Rescue, seeing as how it makes me think a tad

Never heard of either, but I was a HUGE fan of the Super Solvers series back in the day (Gizmos and Gadgets was so good).

Math Munchers was very fun for an educational game.

Lots of good games mentioned, but do you guys remember a game called Xargon? I used to play the demo version of it when I was a kid.
