DOS Games Discussion

lol - all your game names are belong to us! :-)

This game?
Not DOS though, and likely better support from the bigfish guys.

If not, there is some detail missing in your post, as Dosraider already wrote.

I found something similar for PS2 called 'Shifters', from 2002, but I don't know if the time frame fits.

2 player coop or PvP?
Networked or shared/split screen & kbd?

Do you control troops other than your main character, or is the defence automated without any troops?

2D top-down or some sort of 3D view?

Hmm...maybe R-Type, it had an embryo alien boss.
I don't know if there was a PC port of it?

Based on the release time of 1998 for the other two titles on the demo disk, I'd make a guess at 'Incoming' or a similar game clone called 'Barrage'. http://www.mobygames.com/game/incoming-the-final-conflict http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/barrage Both had single-level demos released for them ...

Hmm, I thought of that, but dismissed it; 'opens in a bar' and the menu on right didn't ring a bell. (I just played some of it a couple of months ago). It starts in an abode of one alien species who resurrected you from a strange storage device. If you find an old v1.0 copy, the v1.02 patch fixes so...

Sounds like something you'd have to make locally, I can't imagine dialing overseas to order a mug with your name on it.

Maybe a free plugin to some existing graphics program, promoting a local merchant?

A player-controlled party is more common with RPG:s than pure adventures in my experience. If you think Jewels of Darkness looks close in style, maybe look over some of the old RPG games like Ishar, Drakkhen or the original Neverwinter Nights (-91)? There are some of those oldies available with scre...

The game is 'Stars!'

(screenshot #6 shows the available races OP mentioned)

It also can be found at Abandonia

Killing Cloud?

I'd guess at 'The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time'. (which is on the list)

There is a FAQ at the pspdosbox site, showing how to write text on the PSP.
But if it is enough for gaming purposes I can't say.

I find it to be a mix of hack/rogue, settlers and minecraft perhaps. I've tried it a bit, but it's not my cup of tea. You start out with a colonizing party, select a likely area, and build a fortress in the wilderness. Sometimes trade caravans come by, sometimes orc raiders, or other neighbours...th...

NES Rolling Thunder? (Alternating 2-player mode, what I gather.)

Star Control or Star Control II?

Probably not the one but there is a game called Exodus:

Hello Eric, was this game developed for a 8086/286/386 or later machine? I may have some older hardware to try it on, if it's a timing/cpu issue. (I don't have IBM basic ROM:s in them, but I think it's not a requirement) It could also be corrupt files, in which case it's probably a lost case. Were a...
