Poll: Dos Games

[Emma Clowes]

Hey all.

Just wanted to know if there were any fans of Dos games on here? I have a youtube channel that features several (I aint posting the channel name - not spamming you all lol).

I like the old dos games, some of them have alot more depth than todays games. Disagree? Your opinion.

Any fans of :

System Shock

Duke Nukem 3D

Shadow Warrior

Blood

Redneck Rampage

Carmageddon

I can't list all my favourites, but the above ones are brilliant games.

Hope there are some Dos game enthusiasts on here

Thanks for your time

Duke Nukem 3D was my childhood, I played the shit out of that game when I was little. Against my parents wishes of course. Last year I went to an anime con and John St. John (Duke's VA) was a guest there and I got it signed. That has to be one of my most prized possessions. Though since I was a kid at the time I didn't really have many games I called my own, I just played whatever my dad had though I think most were win98 games. Another one of my favorites would be Dungeon Keeper. Honestly I just liked making huge feeding areas since the chickens were so cute.

Voted for Doom because of the insane amount of time I put into those games. I really wish they would remake a bunch of the old dos games, update the sound and graphics but leave the gameplay EXACTLY as it was.

Honorable Mentions:

Afterlife - Sim City, except you build Heaven & Hell. Best Lucas Arts game ever IMO.

Myst - Really fun & at the time, prettiest puzzle, adventure game around.

Theme Park - Predecessor of Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Mechwarrior 2 - Fucking awesome, nothing else needs said.

TIE Fighter Wars - Second best space combat sim ever.

Descent - Like a cross between Doom & a space combat sim. Fun but hard and confusing to navigate.

What no Quake? That is like my fondest memory. Playing on my Dads laptop while on a road trip, with it plugged into the cigarette lighter.

 

[Emma Clowes]

Yeah no quake, sorry. the new post poll wouldn't let me list as many as I wanted. Thanks for pointing out a great game I missed lol
I have got a quake mod featured on my youtube channel if your interested its: www.youtube.com/madmatt667

Any fans of :

System Shock

Absolutely. That game was way ahead of its time.

Anywho... I voted Duke Nukem 3D. I wanted to vote for Wolf 3D, as it was my first FPS... but I think overall I probably had more fun with Duke at the time. I was young, so the immaturity of the game really suited my sense of humor at the time.

 

[Lunar Templar]

aww ...

i was hoping for other DoS games but on that list, Duke Nukem 3D

 

[ElPatron]

Wing Commander
Anything by iD
System Shock too.

Can't decide.

 

[Pandaman1911]

Wolfenstein 3D made me interested in games.
Doom made me a gamer. Hell, I just got done with a Master Levels of Doom II session not 15 seconds ago.

My vote's for you, Mr. Doomguy.

 

[redisforever]

C&C for sure. The first two are still in my top 50 games ever.

Duke Nukem was one of the games of my childhood. I didn't really get most of the humor (mostly because I didn'r speak much English), so that's not what I'm nostalgic about.

When people were anticipating Duke Nukem Forever, it seemed like most people remembered fondly different things than I did.

I just had fun with the weapons, levels, and all the stuff you could do.

I also played Doom 1 and 2, and have been playing them recently again. They are still good games. Outdated, but still fun.

However, Primal Rage was probably the PC game I played most (I was more of a console gamer with my Nintendo). It had dinosaurs in it, so it was awesome.

I also had a dinosaur educational game where you could move in a museum and resurrect dinosaurs by digging fossiles and putting skeletons together.

I played that a lot.

Wing Commander

I spent countless hours on wing commander, wing commander 2, and the expansion packs.

Also, X-Com: UFO Defense.


I've never been too keen on the FPS-- I played my share of doom 2 and a little rise of the triad, but it was never my forte. The original half life was gold, though.

 

[WeAreStevo]

Heretic.

That game was amazing because it was essentially Fantasy style Doom.

I also liked when you'd plug in the cheat codes for Doom it would punish you accordingly

(IDDQD - kills you)
(IDKFA - Takes away all your weapons and leaves you with a stick)

Loving some of these comments, its great to see so many fans of the gaming good old days.
There were so many I wanted to put on the voting poll, but I could only put a few on.
I have started re-playing Doom & Heretic (more so for my youtube channel). I realised today that with the ports of some of these games, they have made them alot easier to play.

"thiosk" - Never played Wing Commander or X-Com, may just feature those on my channel.

"WeAreStevo" - Yeah one of the main reasons I love Heretic - its fantasy Doom. Witchaven was also a similar game, hard as hell but great all the same.

I am getting some great suggestions here for Youtube and personal game time, will check out some of these later on in the day. Keep them comments and game suggestions coming!

 

[Emma Clowes]

system shock just needs mouselook and upgraded graphics and it would still wipe the floor with any game released now

Totally agree - I did remember seeing an updated version a while back with some extra features, I am so frustrated that I cannot remember "where" I saw it. :-(

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

Nice to see Rise of the Triads on that list! Unfortunately I'm obligated to vote for Doom because it's a game I still play to this day. If you'd asked in the 90s though, I'd have definitely said RotT.

 

[DazZ.]

Prince of Persia was brilliant, spent a huge amount of time on that in my childhood, along with Wolf3d and Doom. Being the iD fanboy I was all the Commander Keens were great.

Cyberdogs was good as well, and Catacombs of the Abyss.

Anything by Apogee with the platformers, Secret Agent, Duke 1 & 2 and Bio Menace.

Skyroads is worth a mention, along with a few Dizzys.

Loved the Dos days...

 

[Rastrelly]

Doom. Of course! Doom is the best FPS for DOS. Doom FTW! It's dynamic, complex, never gets boring and always gives tons of action. CoD, watch and learn!

 

[Danny Nissenfeld]

No Descent (mentioned earlier) is egregious. No Warcraft 1&2 (no RTS at all actually), no Blackthorne (or any other platformers), the list of games I'd rather choose is longer than the list you made.
