Hey Ultrasound, this is where programs like dosbox and *forgotname atm* come in.

Dosbox => http://dosbox.sourceforge.net

I'm sorry I forgot the name of the other really good x86 DOS emulator but my brain is a bit fried. I know it started with a B though... and it's 4 or 5 letters... if I figure it out I'll edit this post =). If you need help setting it up or playing a specific game please let me know.

Old games <3

I still play some of them.
Ohh! Zak McCracken, Indiana jones (adventure), Police Quest, Monkey Island, wings. Old games still rocks, especially point'n'click adventures!

Heh, I love dos-games, got a bunch of them laying around. Always fun trying them once in a while with a DOS-emulator Smile

they are great and makes me remember my childhood the other day i was playing the simpsons, prince of persia and the old stunt. how nostalgic.

i think the best game, was when the controler stick only has
up, down, left, right, A, B. Like NES system
too much button make confuse and make the game involve too much thinking action.
we want to play game to relax not to think some more.
OLD GAMES ROCK!!!!

It's shame that some old dos version off games are not working on newer systems. I have remembered the most : Wolfenstein , Prehistoric, Callironia games, Stunts and Golden Axe

This games will go in eternity.

Regrads to all the gamers

I have found the Linux port of a neat old DOS RPG game from 1994: Beneath a Steel Sky. Gentoo users just merge games-rpg/bass. I love it. =)

Ahh, The classics.

Who ever played Riven? Its a spinoff of the Myst series.
It has amazing graphics but its a realy old point and click adventure.

And who of you guys got carmageddon?
I just love it, you can play online with it Smile
