yup

to bad they don't make games like these anymore...

or convert them into one big Dos Homeport System game

like Ps3 or Xbox 360.
I'll bet alot of Dos Games would fit into a DVD or maybe a Download game store

I liked their dungeon keeper series better. Beside this isn't that old. Maniac mansion was older but I confess that he had more success. He managed to made a second one (but if I remember well Syndicate wars was the second game of a series), day of the tentacle.

J'ai adoré ce jeu.

S.P.P.

Back in the days when I had to use command line prompts to execute the game from the floppy drive.

And who could forget the classic of classics: Tank. Now there was a game, especially when played with a friend.

No no, Wolf, even older than that. The original Tank. Two tanks pitted against each other in a small arena with a few walls.

Just so. The finest example of simple, untiring fun I have ever known and base cornerstone of video games as we know them.

It's the famous Konami Code!!!!!
So many games that have the legendary cheat code!!!
Contra was always a favorite.
I always hated that you easily lost good power-ups.
My favorite ones were the "F" which meant for Firepower or something.....And the "H" which stood for Homing.....I think.

Ravenloft: Stone Prophet... I always wanted to play that and never did...

King's Quest on the other hand...

Classic!

What about the old SSI D&D games on the Commodore 64?

Damn, The Bard's Tale... Just tryin' to find your way around Skara Brae was hard enough, let alone gettin' jumped by an ARMY of monsters.

Very Old School.
