What do you mean?
There are popular three computer systems with MS-DOS: IBM-PC (and compatibles), PC-98 and FM Towns.
>>
>>3959251

Never interested me.
>>
>>3959258

How does this compare to ExoDOS?
>>
Just some games I've played and enjoyed:
X-Com
Syndicate
Blockout
The Blues Brothers
Gateway
Dweep Gold
Lemmings
Prince of Persia
Skyroads
Sokoban
Supaplex
Zatacka
>>
Try Might and Magic 3-5, Quest for Glory games, Wolf3D, Doom, Duke3D, Blood, and Wizardry 6 amd 7.
>>
>>3959275
ExoDOS is an all-in-one archive of hundreds of games, with DOSbox preconfigured. That link is to a category on archive.org where you can download games individually probably in their original formats.
>>
>>3959235
The Commander Keen series.
Xargon, Electroman, Zone 66, Halloween Harry.
>>
Some games I recommend:

Quake in Software mode
Dune
Prince of Persia
Another World
Prehistorik 2
Sword of the Samurai
Epic Pinball
Dungeon Master
Elder Scrolls: Arena & Daggerfall
Might & Magic 3
Darklands
Zeliard
MDK
Pirates!
>>
>>3959235
Duke3d, Blood and Doom. Don't miss Blood --
people here don't overlook it, but in general it doesn't get the attention those others do. Ultima Underworld. If you like rpgs, ultima 3 and forward, Might and Magic 3 - 5. Try an Infocom game for a while to see if you're into it.

If I had to recommend one game, I'd choose Sword of the Samurai. Oh god this game is great! Awesome art, awesome music, simple game mechanics and addictive as fuck. Please try it, you'll love it especially if you're into Edo era games
>>
Vigilance on Talos V
>>
>>3966397
Thought it was a Duke Nukem clone then I saw a fucking chozo statue holding a power up that allowed the player to curl into a ball

>>
>>3966493
Just realized I'd selected the a mobile pentium, whoops. Fixed that.
>>
>>3959242
>No Worms
>No Worms 2

Seems like this game isn't that well-known, even though T17 is so popular nowadays...
>>
>>3966493

I'm jealous. I have to deal with shitty DOSBox and it's flake developers.
>>
>>3966713

its

Have pity on me, for I am retarded.
>>
>>3966689
Worms 2 wasn't released for DOS
>>
>>3966493
64 megs is sort of overkill, I can't imagine any DOS game needing more than 16.
>>
Can anyone help me get MechWarrior 2 running in DOSBox? It crashes when I try to start any mission.
>>
>>3959235
like just do dos box
>>
>>3959235
Get Abuse.
