The Settlers. It was really great with a friend. Can't get it to work on XP, got it working at some point but then it didn't work again.

If it's DOS and doesn't work on XP try downloading DOSBOX, it's a really great DOS emulator for Windows(XP also), and any DOS games I haven't gotten to work running ordinary 'DOS' mode on XP has worked with DOSBox

OMG even before DOS when I had a computer that ran on tapes that was quality. Ladderman and Pacman was the bomb! Granny's garden and many more.
DOS games: hmm well there was some things but i cant remember what they were called most of them were platformers.

Return to Zork..

Blood was really fun.
Duke Nukum -- the original side-scrollin' version with turkeys and sodas and ... purple bunnies!
Commander Keen :bounce:
Scorched Earth -- because... it's Scorched Earth!
Jill of the Jungle -- because frogs are evil.
and finally......
Oregon Trail -- because you could name characters after people you know and watch them slowly die of starvation! :cheese:

Never liked Return to Zork. It had too many puzzles where if you miss something right at the start, then you cannot do stuff later on and have to restart the game.
Older Zork games were better, and Zork Grand Inquisitor was good.

 

[ManHacks]

i used to have wheel of fortune, and jepordy for DOS, it was bomb. Also this jatpack game, kinda fun.

 

[f|uke]

Some good calls in here,. Dune, Scorched Earth,. of course Doom and Duke,.

But my all time fave is definitly Star Control 2.

This game is so good that, due to incompatability with modern OS's, there is a sourceforge project to rebuild it. The latest build is very playable, and they're gettin very close. The project is still quite active and has an active community.

If you remember the glory and comedy that was Star Control 2, check out The Ur-Quan Masters.
