【1994 ~ 1997】 Top 100 MS-DOS PC Games - Alphabetical Order 

Dude you are amazing. Thank you. These were my childhood 😭

Thanks to you and all the other video game compilation channels that post videos like this one. I'm planning to buy me a laptop and I'm simply looking at these kinds of videos to see what games can I possibly look for to play. Make it 4,012 likes

Great video! You got my like, and sub!

Gpod video! Good games!

Yeah I’m up at the 80 mark.. my dx2-66 and I.. wow.. I still walk around hearing ‘electron mace’ from syndicate wars and saying Murder Death Kill occasionally.. One Must Fall.. Seeing Z again was a trip

TT truly had a great soundtrack! It blended soooo well with the gameplay.

Greetings from a fellow 90s PC gamer neighbor from Israel :)

Do you still play games today?

And every game has its associated memories/context. Is like opening a closet of information.

Jagged Aliance and Dungeon Leeper. And Quake.

Yes i remember Red Alert i play that in internet cafe whit my friends.

I played so much Red Alert... Especially skirmish vs the "AI" Eventually, I remember tweaking the rules.ini file to increase the atomic bomb impact. And unnecessary tweaks like changing infantry to turn into dogs when they attack. Fun times. Games like these are why I ended up learning programming, math and physics and becoming a software engineer... although I don't program games now haha.

mine Crusader no remorse , Syndicate , Dune , Doom

I' also have at least tried over half of these. How's it even possible!? Were there a lot of demos or was it all shareware in those days...can't remember.

I've heard that the graphics might actually have been slightly smoother back then due to CRT monitors rendering graphics differently.

Yes!!

Same here. Had a P-100. Bought my first CD-ROM drive and a soundcard and C&C was gifted to me on a birthday. Going from floppies and PC speaker to this was intense. Just the installer animation was already jawdropping. In a modern remaster they did a callback to that interface, only since there are no longer any settings to enter, with things being plug-n-play, they put self-referencing jokes. These days, it's common practice to skip cutscenes, but in days of Westwood, they were the reward for completing a level. They were just as important as the gameplay.

I remember in the controller you were able to chose a VR headser. I went crazy trying to get one

16-bit *

TY

32-bit mostly guys, those games are playable at 486 and up, hence 32-bit architecture. There are rare examples of 386 games, which is hybrid 16/32 bit architecture

Concur on 32-bit.. 8-bit would have been more early-mid 1980s with the the NES or C64 for example.

Oh and the voice acting with the cdroms was pretty new and incredible

No, it's not just you :) good games age well. I will still do all-nighters with Civilization, Aces of the Deep, Duke Nukem 3D... when something is good, it will be still good 30 years later.

MDK looked surprisingly good, even with software rendering. The monsters were pretty creative, and if you shot them up (but couldn't be killed because of the story), the scars would still be there in later levels.

Specially the spaceship themed ones. The graphics and mechanics are kind off immortal hahaha

This was my era!

Rayman is ageless

And thing of all the cloud-based games, or always online titles that will all be wrapped, when they stop making money, and unlike with pre-internet retro, there will be no way to revive many of the games, by the time today's kids get to their mid-age crisis. They'll have nothing to re-experience, unlike my DOS generation, that can either emulate, or even use original hardware.

@@enilenis I'm totally into keeping the working hardware, nothing beats the experience of starting DOS and all those messages during it :) right now having 386 and 486 - still alive and kicking. Only when they all die and can't be repaired, I'll switch to emulators.

My all time favorite game! It was also called 'Little Big Adventure'' in some parts of the world

...and then there's Bioforge.

Those were the good ol days for sure.

I still play it (Descent 2) Brilliant game. You could even play it in VR even back then

The game i made my brother watch while i played that made him go green with motion sickness haha

I was 7 and went to my rich friends house in 93 and seen Doom. I had a similar experience. Just not Decent or 94.

@@stephenschenider4007 Doom was amazing as a kid in the early 90s. You could do LAN multiplayer with a crossover cable (wish PCs were more portable back then to make it easier to lug over a friends house lol).

It really was!! 🙂

I spent way more time using the Build editor than playing the actual game. The engine was surprisingly robust, there was huge creative potential once you learned how to use it.

@@UltraVibeProductions Agreed!

People have forgotten how astonishing Duke Nukem 3D was. It came the same year as Quake, and while this one was absolutely mind-blowing, I remember DN3D as an equally impressive game, being more entertaining because its reallistic environments (for those days' standards). And the mod scene was huge too.

I loved the Easter eggs, references to other works, and the crude humor. Duke Nukem Forever, when it finally came out, cut out most of it.

You mean 4d stunts right? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7tC_omd4NVY.html that game was awsome, too bad the slightest bump would wreck your car XD! i made the most extrutiantingly difficult tracks i could, like some masochistic-sraights-followed-by-snow-then-osbtacles XD

Myst and Quarantine can also be included in the list👍

@@Mike.660 I bought and played MYST on my sister Apple Macintosh computer oh god only knows how long that game was released. This is back when I didn't even though of searching the internet for guides or anything. I clearly remember writting all the notes down on the notebook it came it? I think it did, right? I fully solved and finished the game all by myself, so proud ! I think i wrote the most notes for that piano puzzle part.

I was born in 89, my grandpa always gave me freeware cds with games the cds where called twilight zone this was my early years of gaming

Raptor, what a cool game. Rise of the Triad was glorious, using the many types of rocket launchers

Same here. I remember Broken Sword: The Broken Mirror demo on Microsoft Windows Game sampler. The section was short, but I replayed it over and over, because it was like a living book. A later bought the game. Loved it, and kept buying every Broken Sword game there was, even for Wii and Vita. I replay them occasionally for the atmosphere. Don't even mind the 3D one that they've made. It had bad reviews, but to me it was absolutely fine, and true to the formula. There hasn't been a Broken Sword game I didn't like. And I also played about 90% from the list. Back then everyone shared the same games, everyone read about the same games. Only question was, whether they could meet the system requirements. And compatibility with various sound and videocard drivers was never guaranteed. Fun times.
