DOS Games Discussion

Lotus was actually a DOS game (made by Gremlin Interactive). There was a shareware version that only gave you one car on one track. I don't know where to download it, though.

I think the full name is "Lotus III Raceway".

Go here to get TMNT Tournament Fighters Remix if you're looking for a TMNT-related DOS game (freeware):

Indenture (v1.7) for DOS, a clone of Atari 2600 Adventure, runs EXTREMELY slow on Windows XP.

Go ahead and install FreeDOS on that C: partition. It will safely retain your data, install itself on that partition, and then you can boot FreeDOS from that C: partition. All except 5 of your files will be saved. These 5 files will be deleted to make way for the FreeDOS installation: IO.SYS MSDOS.S...

Thunderdog, when I saw that shrinkwrapped CD with that old SimCity, it crushed all hopes of that game being freeware. This topic was centered around EA refusing to allow SimCity to go freeware on Emmzee's request. If they let Emmzee put SimCity up for download, they wouldn't be able to sell many cop...

The Sound Blaster ISA card (any model) is the KING of sound cards (It's the original, most others are copycats).

Most ISA sound cards are fine anyway. (With 16-bit power, don't expect massive quality)

FreeDOS is excellent with the majority of games. Check my "Don't pirate MS-DOS, get FreeDOS" topic. As for the commercial DOSes, here goes: MS-DOS and IBM/PC DOS versions 3.3 and higher should provide robust gaming performance with the majority of games (especially the old ones that requir...

When the ESA or any other anti-piracy organization attack the innocent (poor law-abiding Emmzee and probably some others), it shows that their war on piracy is being fought badly. Someone or something has failed to do their job properly. It is excellent that the ESA/BSA/CAAST/etc. are fighting hard ...

I edited my last post to include most of what used to be on this post (thanks Dogbreath).

Jmmijo, there are two versions of the FreeDOS kernel, one supports FAT32, the other one doesn't. Other than that, they are almost identical. Make sure you get the right one if you want FAT32 support. I have finally finished the FreeDOS boot disk setup. Download it at: http://www.geocities.com/axsclf...

That's native support built in the kernel.

Canada is mostly Christian!

FreeDOS can support FAT32!

Champ Programming released the full versions for free on www.champ-em.com after they went out of business. The owner of Champ (John W. Champeau) signed the guestbook saying how he was glad people enjoyed his games.

That's RIGHT!!! CHAMP GAMES ARE officially FREEWARE!!!

It's called Conflict, I think.

But that's only about 4 months!

What's the limit on how old a topic can be before it must be silenced? And if a topic is too old, why isn't it locked to prevent revivals?

I didn't think the post was that old!

FreeDOS works really well for almost all DOS games. If you have a pirate copy of MS-DOS, GET RID OF IT and get FreeDOS!!! http://www.freedos.org If a game that worked in MS-DOS does not work in FreeDOS, please let me know and I might be able to help you. (This should be very rare, however) FreeDOS h...

Some programs can silence the PC speaker (not 100% though). They act as TSR's and they can eliminate MOST of the PC speaker sounds. They are either shareware or freeware and they are available on some download sites.

I saw SimCity for DOS at Walmart.
