For me, thinking about the old classics, I have a few favorites from the DOS age:
The King's Quest series
Quest For Glory series
Crusader: No Remorse
and of course DOOM
What are yours?
Your favorite DOS game
I was a huge Monkey Island fan, back in the day. Descent and Tie Fighter on CD were also pretty far up there, as far as favorites go.
I think it would either be, DOOM or Transport Tycoon.... its hard to think of the old dos games i used to play, there was a lot of em lol
just trying to think... i think Xwing vs tie fighter was a dos game, Y wing, ermm... Sim city 2000.... there was a couple of dos games that were just insanely hard to get to work because of the shifting a the config.sys and autoexec.bat files to force dos to use the hi-mem was such a pain in the ass..... omg what the hell was it? there was like 3 games grrr lol
Oh man i'd forgotten about so many of these games!
Eye of the beholder was really awesome too. I used to play some weird dungeons and dragons game that was entirely textual. Like you had a map and everything, but it was just text and numbers on a black screen.
I remember the first time I got a mouse for my pc, and having to run mouse.bat before running a game, otherwise you wouldn't have a mouse cursor.
there was another really weird game i played, i can't quite remember the name of it .. captain cosmic or something like that. Was a side scroller - similar to the old Duke Nukems, but you were a blue suited alien dude.
Oh and I remember the King's Quest series. i think i had KQ5, and there was like 7 floppy disks for it.
