      Even the menu structure of the current games are so complicated. I like a simple and clean game menu interface. In NBA 2k23, you need a class in just understanding the game menus prior to even playing, and then a second class for the in-game menus/playcalling/timeouts/substitutions/etc. I think today's complicated games and interfaces reflect the current state of the developer's minds. They don't have the capability of making something simple but with depth. Even Apple is losing their ability to keep things simple.

      It's all going to collapse, we're headed back to primitive times. Today's humans can't get their stuff together. In 1000 years, they'll have to start over from scratch with computers. They might have some dug up historical examples to work from, but only fragments. They'll go through all of the phases of early computing we went through, including the video games. Finally, they'll have internet and then right there at that point, a new collapse begins.

    The first one and it hit me right on the feels. Arkanoid: Revenge of DOH was the 3rd DOS game I've ever played (Zool and the glorious Prehistorik 2), and I borrowed all these games from Alberto, who taught me not only to use DOS but also to understand and love computers back when I was a kid about 30 years ago. I was devastated when he suddenly passed away in his 40's, but every single time I play a DOS game I can't help but remember him and his teachings. The opening tune from Arkanoid has sent me hot rods to Nostalgiaville, and I bet if Alberto could know how long has gone what I learned from him he'd be proud of the kiddo who couldn't get his head around the use of ARJ and the darn parameters needed to cut up a chunk of a file to fit it into floppy disks

    I've played most of these games when i was young, and the other I read on videogame magazine at the times. So many fond memories, many of these games were so much fun, simple and direct, we could define them almost minimalistic today, but that was the hardware available. Nonetheless developers managed to squeeze real masterpieces, and to make some incredible progresses. It was, simultaneously, the era of classics, the golden era for FPS, RTS, Driving and Adventure games, the era of many games with the best arcade feeling, and the paradise of flipper games. I would like to talk about so many of them but I haven't so much time, so I'll write a short list:
    - Civilization: the game you couldn't uninstall.
    - Syndicate: play with headphones or risking your neighbour would call police hearing the shootings.
    - Theme Park, Syndicate, Theme Hospital: when Bullfrog was at the top.
    - UFO Enemy Unknown: when you develop a link with your soldiers and you can't let them die.
    - Carmageddon: another extremely fun and controversial game. And Fear Factory. I don't remember such controversies for Quarantine, anyway, but maybe there were less.
    - Tomb Raider: so much atmosphere despite the blocky graphics.
    - Dune: a wonderful mix of adventure and strategy, with memorable characters.
    - Ultima VII: or how Origin did open world RPG games in 1992.
    - Screamer: awesome graphics and speed, it surprised everyone when it released. Developed by Graffiti, an italian software house.
    - F1GP2: It's funny, I had a blast with this, replaying entire championships, but I've never found the same pleasure with modern F1 games.
    - Network Q RAC Rally Championship: I lost days playing this, totally immersed, it's one of those games I would like to replay in a "lightly" updated version.
    - Pinball Fantasies: Stones'n'Bones is the best pinball table of all time.

    - the second is 2D, and I remember playing as a boy in a alien forest and when you had to eat the fruit to restore your health you gain weight and slow your movement if you eat too much;

    I'm going to date myself a bit here, but I got my first PC in 1985 and it came with DOS 2.2 and I remember playing all of these games. At a quick glance, this is a great list and the only game that strikes me as missing is Command & Conquer. I know you're in Portugal and not Brasil, but seeing all the Portuguese responses reminded me of when I lived in Brasil for a time in the late 90s and early 2000s. When I moved there, I brought over my PC and all my games. GTA was confiscated by customs because it was banned there, though my guess is that one of the agents ended up taking it home to play himself. 🤣

    I never owned an MS-DOS as a kid. I only had Windows '98 or 2000, XP, Vista and currently 10. But there's a program called DOSBox and I've been using it since I bought NHL '96 on PC CD-ROM in 2017.

    Great Video! Each game was dedicated enough time to let me revel in remembrance/nostalgia

    I really like the look of the 2D polygon graphics in Out of This World. I wish they made more games that looked like that. Especially the cinematics.

    Thumbnail is wrong; DOS only allowed 8 characters (plus 3 for file extensions). So depending on the DOS version, the folder "C:\DOS_GAMES" would either be called "C:\DOS_GAME" or be truncated into "C:\DOS_GA~1".

    Wow, a few titles I have not seen in some time, like One Must Fall 2097.
    I will say, you're PC was a lot more powerful than mine back then.

    Hello there! If you are into the graphics style of that era, there's a game called I WILL BE THERE on Steam. You may like it!

    Prince of Persia was probably the very first DOS game that I ever played.
    Never played the original Apple II version though ;)

    I sometimes don't know how this is possible, we might have some kind of telekinetic connection. Since 2 weeks I'm going through my DOS games, the ExoDOS collection which includes 7.200 games, and I test them to see which ones to keep.
    And btw I love the 52x on the CD-ROM, I remember having a 2x and going to the shop to buy a 4x, and they had an 8x, I was WOW, so I ended up buying it, and if you convert the money how much it cost from that time, it was 200€!! Crazy!!
    Other than that my DX2/66 looked the same, only that later I had a Catweasel MK4 inside, if you know what I mean 😉

    Great review! What is surely missing is author’s point on these games (which I personally played as well) 😊
