I wanna play some DOS games but I have a very faint memory of the games I used to enjoy back in the day.

Anyone wanna recommend some decent DOS games?

Star Wars: Dark Forces

Worms

Daggerfall

Tyrian 2000
Jazz Jackrabbit
Commander Keen

How far back?

VGA palette games forward

CGA is an abomination and EGA has some very minor exceptions that don't make me puke

In Search of Dr. Riptide

Also does anybody remember a game with topdown perspective where you fly around a ship which kind of looks like an Xwing in a futuristic city labyrinth and shooting other ships?
I think it had a japanese looking style to it but not sure.

oregon trail

technically fallout

things rated highly on abandonia/other abandonware sites.

Daggerfall definitely.
Tyrian is a great shmup
Old Lucas Arts games
Rise of the Triad
Ultima Underworld

Tyrian
Dangerous dave
commander keen
One must fall 2097
Skyroads
Volfied

Settlers
Master of Orion 2
Colonisation
UFO: Enemy Unknown / Terror from the Deep

Commander Keen
Jazz Jackrabbit
Slipstream 5000

...

ascendancy

wings of fury

Go to /vr/ for real recommendations

Monkey Island 2 is hilarious, really recommend

Was Imperium Galactica DOS or 'doze? Still a fucking good game. Exterminate the garthog scum.

Mega Man X.
You heard me right.

Little Big Adventure. I'm playing this for the first time right now and I'm having a blast. Really neat game.

Cyan and magenta is aesthetic as fuck.

>find out about Hercules card from LGR
>read in DOSBox wii that most CGA games should run in Hercules mode
>try it out
>nothing I try works properly

Nope.

>skyroads
Dude I've been looking for this game for years

Battlehawks 1942
Darklands
Betrayal at Krondor

You may need to find the manual for battlehawks though. the copyprotection at the time was that there were silhouettes of all the planes and you had to match them to the one in the manual and type out the name.

Always had to make sure I had my xerox'd copy before playing.

mech commander 1/2. freeware now actually IIRC.

>Monkey Island

Works better in ScummVM

All good

Sky Roads is fucking amazing


Lets see here... I actually have a dosbox folder...

Tubular Worlds
Master Of Magic
Jumpman Lives
Duke Nukem 2
Jill Of The Jungle
