Best DOS games ever?

What were your favirote DOS games back in the day? Being a teen and fairly new to PC games (3 years of PC gaming) I want to play some of the games I missed. Any suggestions?

space quest, arctic fox, lemmings

Yeah, X-Com was great.

Civilization

hard to get into it nowadays especially with the new civilization games which have more depth but i still have fun with it

Lands of lore

Fun and nice RPG with a story i liked. i didn't like Lands of lore 2 as much

Eye of the beholder

similar to Lands of lore but a lot less polished, still fun if you like RPG and dungeons and dragons

All the serie is good but the first ones are really poor graphically so i recommand the last one (the third IIRC)

Maniac mansion

great adventure/puzzle game where you play kids trying to save a girl kidnapped in a mansion where strange people live

Day of the tentacle

the sequel to maniac mansion with more things to explore, great too and updated graphics

Doom

old shooter, but still fun

Space quest

great and fun adventure game in the space

The secret of monkey island

same kind of adventure game but with pirates

Another world

Side scrolling action game, kinda fun and the combat system is unique (at least i haven't seen something similar since then)

but graphics are really old

Flashback

Similar to another world but combat changed a little and a lot nicer graphics

Dune 1

Adventure/strategy game where you must conquer a planet to own its ressources

Dune 2

Sequel to dune 1 but pure RTS this time

Little big adventure (not sure if it was still DOS but think so)

really fun adventure game with kinda unique graphics and gameplay

Magic Carpet

it's a very unique game so i like it, but the gameplay can be boring sometimes

it's a mix of strategy, shooter, and RPG games. You play a guy who flys on a carpet and is kinda like a god or very powerfull mage. you can cast spell to build or enhance cities and also cast attack or healing spells to attack ennemy cities or castles

there are a lot more fun games but that's the first ones which came to my mind

Blood

Where in the world is Carmen SanDiego

Descent

Duke3d

Galactix

Golden Axe

Magic Carpet 1,2

Secret of Monkey Island (although they the remake isout15th of July)

Quake

Epic Pinball

Tie Fighter

Wolf 3-D

Simcity 2000

Master of Magic is a great TBS.

Also, try SimTower, Transport Tycoon, Seven Cities of Gold, Colonization. Strategy games hold up the best, since they're not dependent on graphics and the gameplay in these games is superb.

Quite an old one. Nevertheless here is my advice of the best:

2D Platforms: Abuse, Another World, Blackthorne, Dukenukem 1&2, Flashback.

RPG: Albion, Anvil of Doom, Elderscrolls Arena, Jagged Alliance, Syndicate

Sims: Comanche 3, Gunship 2000, Falcon 3 (outdated)

Scrolling Shooters: Raptor Calls of the Shadows, Tyrian 2000, Death Rally (sort of)

Strategy: Dune 2, Enemy Unknown (XCOM1), Terror from the Deep (XCOM2)

FPS: Doom 1&2, Heretic, Hexen, Strife (forgotten diamond. go for it plz), Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, Redneck Rampage, Quake 1&2, Descent 1&2, Blake Stone 1&2, Blood, Chasm the Rift, Eradicator, Powerslave, Realms of the Haunting (best, biggest, longest and hardest horror fps ever made), Star wars Dark Forces

Dont forget MDK and Crusader series

Cheers!!

TES II: daggerfall

warcraft II

carmaggeddon
