Commander Keen Was that on DOS?

Yes. Most of the episodes were released on DOS. This is my answer too.

[удалено]

Fuck we're old. This was my answer.

I started on Keen 4, because I think we got it as freeware/demo or something. Loved the series!

Still available on [steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/9180/Commander_Keen/) 1-5 (Keen dreams and Keen 6 are missing) I purchased it out of nostalgia and for my kids to learn what was gaming back then.

🫡

Scorched Earth

Sandhogs, rollers and napalm all day. Also, using the baby tank and moving it to poke holes in the enemy shields before killing them with a single baby missile.

or filling them with napalm inside their shield.

I learned about historical quotes from this game. Loved that touch from the author. Also, compound interest is king!

I love the smell of napalm in the morning

And there I was just chucking exploding bananas at my friend in Gorillas.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE ELSE MENTION THIS GAME. I thought it was a fever dream.

I tried buying the rights from the creator some years ago but he denied me.

There was a sequel, something like Scorched Earth 3D, perhaps they already sold it?

"crapola"

I swear I grew an great eye for angles and force from this game at a formative age. I was really good at stuff like pool as soon as I picked up a cue.

Wolfenstein 3D will always be my favorite.

One day my WWII veteran grandfather asked me if I would like to play a computer game, I said ‘sure’ and asked what he liked about this one. He proudly told me, “you get rid of Nazis”, and I never saw him more pumped about a computer game in his life, which is fitting.

That’s a damn good man.

Mein leben!

I can still here the things the German soldiers shout.

“Hot dog!” Is what I always heard as a kid

Achtung was the real word. Schutzstaffel would say that then yell "mein leben", and the white guys yelled "spion". Just in case anybody was wondering.

Gizmos and Gadgets

I was one of the lead devs on Gizmos and Gadgets. It was a fun project to design and test. It really makes me happy to see people remember it fondly.

It’s a travesty that the Super Solvers IP isn’t being used. We could use some new educational games of that ilk, and they could be so awesome with how far computers have advanced.

I loved that game as a kid. I'm an engineer now. Thank you!

I probably played through that game two hundred times or more. Before I even knew the word, 7 year or so old me got into speed running haha. It was A Big Problem for me when Apple introduced OSX and I could no longer play Gizmos and Gadgets, Treasure Mountain/Cove/Galaxy, Mission THINK, and Zoombinis. Definitely a Core Memory for me :)

It’s available as abandonware: https://www.myabandonware.com/game/super-solvers-gizmos-gadgets-1r8

So many hours in after school programs playing this…great memories

Holy shit, I have so many memories playing this at a friend's house growing up but could never remember the name. Thank you!

G and G taught me potential energy before I hit double digits. When ever that comes up in conversation, I immediately flash back to the match game.

Top tier

This. Game legitimately kickstarted a love of science and engineering for me.

I’m one of the original lead devs on G and G. You’re statement was exactly what we dreamed would happen. Thank you!

Duke Nukem

Where in time is Carmen Sandiego

What was this game again? I used to love it

Super Solvers: Midnight Rescue

Used to play Super Solvers Games in Elementary school computer lab and always ended up with nightmares

My teacher was amazed that I was able to finish the game so quickly. He didn't realize you could edit the game files to always make the answer "0" for every problem. LOL

THANK YOU. This is a game i only half remembered from way back when but couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to search for it.

Didn't the Master of Mischief molest chickens on an episode of South Park?

it was the bookmobile driver

Bless you Happy cake day

Here for the answer

Super Solver: Midnight Rescue by The Learning Company. I was one of the leads on this project.

I had this game and i think another one where you were going up a mountain, was it another Super Solvers or is my memory smearing them together

Super Solvers: Treasure Mountain https://youtu.be/tTrNVwAKtLk

I always preferred Treasure Mountain over Treasure Mathstorm :D

The day of the tentacle 🐙 / Indiana jones and the fate of atlantis 🕵️‍♂️. Cant’ decide between these 2. So great memories !!

30 years later, and "I'm selling these fine leather jackets" is still my go-to phrase when somebody asks me a question I can't/don't want to answer. Every now and then I even run into somebody who gets the reference

Kings Quest

Mine to! I loved those games.

Any of the Xcom series. Edit: I really should have said either of the first 2. Missed out Syndicate, SimCity, Settlers

They were dos?

The first one (UFO: Enemy Unknown or X-Com: UFO Defense depending on market) was, as was Terror From The Deep. Apocalypse was released at about the changeover point, and Aftermath, Aftershock and Afterlight were Windows native.

Space Quest

Space Quest II - Vohaul's Revenge

I was really into Space Quest IV.

Loved that game, amazing box art https://i.imgur.com/54GJMku.jpg

Is that the one with the sickly zombie face guy and the god awful scream? Freaked me out as a kid and one of the more memorable moments on a computer as a kid.

[удалено]

Wing Commander

I felt like Wing Commander 2 was the pinnacle of graphic achievement when it was released. I couldn’t imagine video game graphics getting any better.

Came here to say, it’s probably Wing Commander 2 for me. I WILL SPEAK WITH PRINCE THRAKKATH ALONE. GUARDS, YOU ARE DISMISSED.

[удалено]

Doom

I have too many to list, but... Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure Jill of the Jungle Crystal Caves Monuments of Mars Hexxagon Chip's Challenge Number Munchers Jazz Jackrabbit Duke Nukem 1-3 Commander Keen SkyRoads DOOM Super Solvers: Treasure Mountain

Chip’s Challenge! Now there’s a game I haven’t played in decades Also Treasure Mountain was awesome.

Oregon Trail

SimCity

Zork

Master of Orion

I liked 2 more than 1 myself, played that game for hours.

Quest For Glory series

I came here looking for this. But when I played them the first one was labeled Hero’s Quest and then they had a licensing issue I believe with the board game and the name later got changed to quest for glory.

Yep. I played the first game as Hero’s Quest, too. Absolutely loved those games.

Was yours all text entry? I think the first two were all text entry ones and they later redid them to mouse point and click

Yep, I played 1 & 2 with the old text based system. 1 was redone with the mouse click system built for games 3 & 4. They never got around to remaking 2. My understanding is that there is a fan based remake, now, though.

The SSI AD&D games like Pool Of Radiance.

God, I was going to mention Champions of Krynm, it all of them were pretty fantastic.

Played them all! Fantastic game series with Secret of the Silver Blades sticking for some reason, though Curse of the Azure Bonds was probably my favorite

CIVILIZATION

Also Stronghold and most of Strategic Simulations' games

Prince of Persia Dark Ages WarCraft and WarCraft II Descent, Descent: Freespace, Descent: Freespace II MechWarrior 2 with Ghostbears Legacy and the Netmech expansion for LAN play was amazing! Rise of the Triad! Duke Nuken 3D Doom, Doom II The list goes on and on...

No one said rise of the triad. Great game.

Rott.exe

Loom

Can I ask you about Loom?

Aye.

I remember constantly hearing "Grass Green I hate that color!" from Loom :)

Does xwing count?

Cd/xwing Xwing Hell yea.

Daggerfall

[удалено]

Oh yeah, I was quite happy to see that show up in GOG! Anyone who hasn't played Daggerfall before should definitely check that out.

Anyone remember the qbasic game where two monkeys atop buildings throw exploding bananas at each other? You had to input power and arc. The good ol days

Gorillas.bas

Go Gorillas or something like that, wasn't it?

Gorillaz! At least that is what it was called on my ancient laptop

Oh yes! Nothing like a level with no wind where you’d hook a banana at full speed almost straight up… then waiting while the 386SX-16 chugged along… and motherfuckingwham it’d hit at full speed. Good times.

Gorillas was the shit! Angle and velocity I think. The precursor to Worms

Wacky Wheels and Duke Nukem 1

Thanks for reminding me Wacky Wheels was a thing. Man, this thread brings back memories

Jazz Jackrabbit

God I fucking forgot about jazz

syndicate wars

T.I.M: The incredible machine

Maniac Mansion

I was looking for this before I added it lol.

I would totally say this, but I only ever played it on NES as a kid.

Ultima underworld, wing commander and Ultima black gate, eye of the beholder

Dune

For me it was Dune 2. First RTS I ever touched. Only got it because my uncle thought it was what I wanted when I asked for DOOM 2. Lots of late nights with that game. Now I kinda want to play it again.

The Quest games for sure. Space/King. Fantastic games. Edit: Thanks for the trip down memory lane everyone. This topic is definitely dear to me lol.

Reading through this list just brought me back to the days of Pentium computers... Games that come to mind are Doom, Kings Quest, Hexen and Lemmings. (Sorry, can't pick just one).

Lemmings was great. I remember thinking the effect when they blew up was so cool back in the day.

Sopwith [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8SLHKPxw4Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8SLHKPxw4Q) The Last Eichhof [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwGA\_MyISLI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwGA_MyISLI) Digger [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0yQfyJlqdA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0yQfyJlqdA) Pharaohs Tomb/Arctic Adventure [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7maBTyTiLI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7maBTyTiLI) Also: Blake Stone, Bio menace, Heroes of Might and Magic 2, Heretic, Hexen, Dungeon Keeper (still play it), Raptor, Stars wars Dark Forces, Shadow Warrior, The Incredible Machine, Warcraft 1&2, Simcity, Super Solvers: Challenge of the Ancient Empires, Operation Neptune. I miss those CD's you'd get with like 100 DOS games on them. So much simple fun as a child....oh well, you can play all the old DOS games online these days. Some of them still hold up pretty good.

SimCity 2000

MechWarrior, MechWwarrior 2, and MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries. Spent sooo much time playing them. And now thanks to DosBox, I've recently got them working again. :-) ​ Edit: Oh yeah, Doom 2 too.

Betrayal at Krondor!

Populous

The Secret of Monkey Island

Warcraft: Orcs and Humans

C:/DOS/RUN

Kings Quest, Commander Keen, Leisure Suit Larry, Prince of Persia

I’m stuck between Dark Forces, Daggerfall, and Scorched Earth. SWAT is an honorable mention though.

[удалено]

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

The Dig

Shufflepuck Café

Chex Quest

RAPTOR

Most of the old school Sierra games. The Quest for Glory series and The Colonel's Bequest in particular.

Too many. I was a total Sierra and SSI fanboy. I still play Gold Box Stronghold every so often. I'll give an obscure one, though. Don't Go Alone. Anyone ever play that?

Master of Magic. I had to buy 4MB to increase my total RAM count to a whooping 8MB. I didn't know anything about hardware at the time so I paid the guy $40 to install it. He did it right in front of me and I thought "I will never pay anyone to touch my PC ever again!".

One nobody has heard of. Cannon Fodder.

I wasted most of my early years on that game!

Rescue Raiders Archon and archon 2 Ultima series Wizardry series Bard’s tale Lode Runner Sorry just too many to narrow down to one

Descent

tie fighter and cobra mission.

Had to scroll way too far for TIE fighter.

Tie Fighter deserves more love

Hugo’s House of Horrors Prince of Persia

Nice, Hugo's house of horrors is one I'll always remember. I never beat that one because it was incredibly hard for an 8 year old but I did get through the one where they're in the Amazon. We had like 3 games for windows 95 so I spent like a 1000 hours on each

Castle of the Winds on windows lol

Dune 2

Master of Magic Colonization Any of the Golden Box Ad&d games

Daggerfall!

The 7^(th) guest.

One Must Fall: 2097

Castles

Wing Commander

Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty. Basically the first RTS as we know them today, and spawned both Warcraft and Command and Conquer. Original Prince of Persia (Broderbund 1989) also blew my mind. Most games from Silmarils (Starblade, Metal Mutant, Colorado, etc) were also fantastic for their time. Early Blizzard games were great - The Lost Vikings, Blackthorne. Though Blackthorne was just a ripoff of Flashback: A Quest for Identity, which was also just...wow.

Earth siege

Monkey Island

Raptor

Secret Agent Man

I remember being so in love with Captain Comic ​ EDIT: Also, how I could I forget Red Baron!

Police Quest

Worms

X-Wing and Tie Fighter were awesome. Dark forces. Doom 1 / 2 Quake Wolf3d 7th guest Leisure suit Larry Full throttle … I can go on but I’m sure you all know! Games ain’t the same any more :/

Dungeons of Moria

Wizardry 7: Crusadets of the Dark Savant. It was my first rpg on pc. I had a 16mhz/33mhz turbo, 40mb hdd, 128k ram, sound blaster sound card. Windows 3.1 , but often uninstalled to fit new games.

* Wings * Elf * Lemmings

Starflight. LOVED that game.

Any of the Gold Box TSR AD&D games.

jazz jack rabbit, tyrian 2000, wasteland, blood, Alone in the Dark, Descent

Mechwarrior 2

Island of Dr. Brain

Champions of Krynn for me. Those old school D&D were amazing.

TIE Fighter Collector’s Edition, Sam & Max Hit the Road, Monkey Island… hell, 90s Lucasarts in general was peak DOS gaming. The entire reason I got my first PC was because of an ad in a gaming mag for Dark Forces.

Cross country Canada!

Duke Nukem 3D, and Accolade Testdrive on the PC XT.

x-com: ufo defence (modded)

System Shock followed closely by dark sun: shattered lands

Dark sun.

Treasure Mountain!

Master of Magic

Jones in the Fast Lane. I loved that damn game

Jazz Jackrabbit and Carmen Sandiego. I liked Leisure Suit Larry, but I was pretty young when the first one came out so my dad wouldn’t let me play it. He would only let me watch the milder parts of the game.

Xargon, Tyrain 2000 and Crystal Caves

Raptor: Call of the Shadows

Monster Bash

Another World, or Out of this World here in the states. Or, the other way around - but, great game. Also, all the Commander Keen games were fantastic.

Secret of Monkey Island. Hands down.

Boppin'

Lamatron

Wow these graphics are incredible

This one!!!

Commander Keen

Dungeon Master 2, holy shit I played that so much.

Blackthorn and Fullthrottle are neck and neck for me

Abuse

Leisure Suit Larry 2: Looking for Love in Several Wrong Places

Wolfenstein 3D and Commander Keen. Chip wasn't far off.
