DOS Games Discussion

Congratulations! And thanks for letting us know. I hope you have fun and are able to play if you want to. If you need help, let us know or check with the forums on some of the mac sites. I've played with mac emulation, and MrFlibble had a cool "mac on windows with no emulator setup" tool c...

That's cool, I didn't know that. Makes this (and other?) questions make a lot more sense! Nice info upgrade, thanks.

Around what year did you play? Off the top of my head, that description brings to mind games like the Space Quest series and The Kristal. Was it an adventure game like Space Quest, or more a platformer, or even an RPG or something? Are there other games you know that had similar style play, or have ...

Terminal Velocity?

Especially the Crazy Machines and The Incredible Machine series have been very popular for a long time.

Title: Tony & Friends In Kellogg's Land - by cereal giant Kellogg's, featuring their character Tony the Tiger. Youtube link is of Amiga gameplay. Glad Vyothric remembered it and you've found it! Have fun. If you need to run it on an amiga and don't know where to start, there are several free ami...

Were any of the Ys series set in china, maybe? Or wiki has a few links to Chinese RPG game history/list, you might get lucky and its on the lists or referenced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Eastern_role-playing_video_games#Chinese_role-playing_games Were any of the game screenshots from ...

We played Massive Darkness last week at the local game store's boardgame night, and again this week. That was lots of fun, though we lost both times! Wow, but it has lots of shiny models and artifacts and trays. It was a recent kickstarter campaign, and will be in stores here soon. It's a dungeon cr...

I don't know that one, but there aren't that many Dreamcast games. Action list: http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/dreamcast/action/offset,0/so,1d/list-games/ There are only around 450 games total: http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/dreamcast/list-games/ I have fond memories of the DC and the ...

Hm, not finding much about phone games, but maybe a look at the tetris variants or falling block games lists might turn something up?

Between golf and tank games "tiger" isn't a very helpful search term!

Was it more a vs. fighting game or a street brawl game like the old Double Dragons?

Fighting could be anything from Virtua Fighter, Tekken, DOA, or anything else that made the jump from 2D to real 3D. Does it look like those?

Around when did you play?

I've kept searching, and found hints at old solutions like plugins for Windows Media player, but nothing seems active.

Best I've found so far, but haven't tried yet, is apparently media monkey has a "web interface" MMWI plugin that might work. I'll keep looking or give it a try.

Maybe Micro Machines?

Or RC Cars?

Cool! Thanks for letting us know. I haven't tried, but I assume DosBox would run it no problem if you've got a copy of the game.

edit: ah, looks like archive.org carries it:

There are lots of side-view shmups!

Closest list I can get you at the moment is this one, worth a look through:
