Which programming language is the best for making dos games?
I recently got asked this question & not having made dos games, I'm posting the question here.
"I had One thing to do, don't play nostalgic games and look what happened... Here I am"
This topic may be of interest to you, it's a mix of dos and Win 3.1:

If you want to make good, big, games, you want a language that does 4-5 things:
Produces compact code.
Code that runs fast.
Code that can run in protected mode.
Code that can work with memory extenders.
Code that has a good library of graphics engines.
Code that has a good library of sound engines.
If it is just for you own amusement, any language will do
