Nice lineup! I never played descent, but I played terminal velocity. I actually got Descent3 from a vidcard purchase long ago but never tried it.

Which duke nukem was your favorite? I loved 2 but 3D was a bit...nasty at times. (can you imagine a woman playing that game? I did and liked...most of it, just parts made me wanna hurl.)

[aBO-3ABD]

did you remembar maruo that man who Fights to get the woman

but I wanna ask you about volleball game , I search about it before but I couldn't found..

[Jaqie Fox]

I think I know what you are talking about. I saw it in passing once on a client's system way back when DOS was king. It was named "summer games" or something similar.

[ringfinger]

OMG... Scorched Earth... I remember wasting countless hours on that game!! Hah, I must fine a download of it and play it again, lol. But yes, nice lineup and a nice topic!

[Jaqie Fox]

Ringfinger: google scorched3d. modern graphics version. After you play it you don't want the original scorched earth anymore (*GASP!*)

Death Rally

Big Red Racing

C&C-series

Lemmings

[pepoluan]

Yeah, for emulation I tend to use DosBOX. it's free and works well.

DOSbox runs all my MicroProse games real well. Even got Roland MT-32 emulation (after copying the MT-32 ROM files). But for LucasArts games (plus some others), better to run using ScummVM.

Hey, ScummVM's site will even point you to a free SCUMM-based game!

[Fodder]

Hi All,

Just adding my two cents worth:

Crusader: No Remorse - Wikipedia - Crusader: No Remorse I spent a lot of time getting this one working in DOS....

Ultima VI: The False Prophet - Wikipedia - Ultima VI: The False Prophet Made good use of my new Adlib card...
