DOS Games Discussion

Doomworld (and many other forums) regular UnknDoomer recently released an interview with Ken Silverman, the famous creator of Ken's Labyrinth and the Build engine . The interview, done via e-mail, includes 30 questions polled from fans, and covers various topics such as the development of Build and...

Say we have internet capability. If you want to access websites/download things, that would all need to happen in some form of a GUI wouldn't it? There's a DOS-based web browser called Arachne . There's also a DOS-based GUI OS called XFDOS . So no, Windows 3.x is not the only GUI for DOS that is av...

Sounds like it could be something from the Blupi series. Maybe Planet Blupi?

Thanks for all the feedback! I've never played Wordle , but I quite enjoyed WorDOSle , as it provides an additional challenge for me as a non-native speaker. Personally, I would've preferred if a game like this limited the vocabulary to a single part of speech, i.e. nouns, and would not have everyth...

Here's some possibly interesting retro thingy called Prince of Thieves.

I bought Magic Carpet Plus on GOG a little while back, and just normal gameplay, the game crashed in DOSBOX. I'll be super honest, I don't really trust GOG's way of configuring DOSBox that they package with their games. I've never played the full Magic Carpet 2 since I don't have it, so I cannot tr...

Something like Anacreon: Reconstruction 4021?

EDIT: Sorry, I assumed "Software 2000" referred to this. But I may as well post the link in case it hasn't been mentioned yet: https://archive.org/details/SoftkeyShareware2000games Yes, that's quite alright to post this here (although indeed the Software 2000 that I mentioned was a German...

Is that the shareware version, or the registered version?

This is an unofficial DOS port of HacX 1.2 (a stand-alone Doom II TC) based upon the code of Gerwin Broers' MBF Maintenance release 2.04 with additional sound code from ludicrous_peridot. You will need the HacX 1.2 IWAD (main data file), available from the official site, to play: hx12dos.zip -- bina...

@Arcade_Adriano , thank you for posting your interviews, but please do so in the Game Reviews section. For one, it will be more appropriate, and also your posts will not get drowned out by completely different discussions that go on in General Gaming, so users will be able to find your content more...

We're not very knowledgeable about mobile games here. You'll definitely have better luck asking around at Reddit:

Hello, and welcome to the forums! Yes, it is perfectly fine to promote your game here. I've only moved your post to the Game Creation sub-forum, and added Steam links.

It looks nice overall, the ANSI art is pretty cool. Congrats on the release!

Your post was the only one I found that described this game. I specially created an account on this forum to save others the ordeal and maybe still for you. Thank you for sharing this information, and welcome to the forums! Here's the MobyGames page of this game, sadly no screenshots: https://www.m...

Too little detail, try writing a more coherent description.

Also when you say you played this when you were five or six, it tells us nothing because we (surprise surprise!) don't know your age.

This game is quite a bit too new for us. But you could try looking in this list:

The DOS era saw many a breakthrough in game development, including the releases of Wolfenstein 3D , DOOM and Duke Nukem 3D , or such brilliant classic strategy series as Warcraft or Command & Conquer . There is no wonder, then, that many such titles have inspired later developers to create their...

As no one has so far considered touching Kaos (that one Italian-made Doom clone that never got finished), I felt like I might be up to the challenge. That would be a great thing to do! Good luck! Unfortunately I have zero experience in these matters, but I suppose it could be a good idea to look at...

Hello, and welcome to the forums! I've not heard of either XFDOS (xf as in xfce?) or FLTK and Nano-X before. I've Googled a bit, but perhaps you would tell more yourself? Also can you show the games you've ported to DOS? Can they run in "regular" barebones DOS, or only in XFDOS? Either way...

Sound like a beat-'em-up game, you may want to look in this list: https://www.mobygames.com/genre/beatemup-brawler/ I played during my childhood Unfortunately there is no way for us to know when that was, or on what platform you played (PC, console, handheld, browser?). You could narrow down the sea...
