A look at 100 very obscure PC/MS-DOS games from the 90s; specifically, the games in this video were all released in 1990. If you played any of these, then hats off to you for being a PC superfan! Chunky VGA/CGA graphics, and Adlib sound OR PC speaker bloops and blips everywhere!
This video focuses mostly on "professional" games; mostly avoiding shareware/freeware/homebrew titles, in favor of titles that were sold boxed in stores.
Yes, a lot of these games are ports from the Amiga/Atari ST. If you are familiar with those platforms, then this video may not be very high on the "obscure" count for you.
There are a few licensed games on this list; while people are probably widely familiar with franchises such as Beetlejuice and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, it's interesting to note that the PC versions of these games were actually quite different than their console versions - and if you have played any of those console versions, it is interesting to see the difference!
Enjoy!

Im glad someone who is uploading Obscure games lists is actually filling them with legitimately obscure games. Iv seen so many like "obsure 90's games" and they stick Wolfenstein, Monkey Island or Prince of Persia in there.

@sarahbouse1825 7 месяцев назад

Anyone know this 90s 00s PC Game? I'm not sure if these were the same game or 2 different ones. One was the screen would fill with doughnuts and you matched them to clear the screen. Another was a puzzle game I definitely remember one of the puzzles was filled with ceiling arches and one was a cathedral. Basically the computer would break the image (not jigsaw pieces, but squares I believe) and you moved them around until the image was complete. This game also contained yhatzee. A brown board as you collected each yhatzee combination (2 di for 2 of a kind 5 di for full house) displayed on the side. I think this was a compilation of games but may also be 2 separate games. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and can help, I would be so grateful.

@galileodos4329 5 месяцев назад

@@sarahbouse1825 The doughnuts one, if it's the one I'm thinking... was it like a mahjong type of board game? What I'm thinking is, or was for Windows 95 (or 98?), I remember playing it with colorful huge donuts as tiles. Google "Morejongg 95" and look for images, hopefully that's the one. No idea about the rest though.

Usually these lists aren't that obscure, but that was quite a selection, only played a handful of these on DOS. Some were more popular on other systems, but I bet a few of these sold no more than 10,000 copies.

@LaepsynPaepsyn 4 месяца назад

I spent my childhood playing games on the C64 and Amiga, and many of the games in this video are considered at least relatively well-known among the users of those machines. But I agree, many of these must have been obscure to PC users of the day especially because PCs were not considered games machines back then, also because of their high price.

It's so weird (and fun) to suddenly see something you haven't seen or thought about at all for like 32 years or so. In this case it was the Spider Man game. I definetely had this, but unlike some other games, it had just vanished from my mind..

Hi Gary, I'm looking for one obscure DOS game and can't seem to find it. It was a detective game with a top-map view, there were few colors, if I remember correctly. I think your character had to solve a crime and you were limited to one island.

@thefreakmachine Год назад

Most of these games I can clearly understand why they were obscure! 😅

@Fragmaster01 Год назад

Kosmonaut had a much more well known(with a good soundtrack) version called Skyroads made a few years later. Less PC Speaker, faster paced. These are great! Thanks for posting lesser known ones.

@Domarius64 Год назад

What a great list! Thank you for introducing us to these. It's a sin how many games have 256 colours but only bloopy PC speaker sound instead of Sound Blaster or at least Adlib sound. But did you have them configured properly? I saw Ski or Die in there, and that has a kick ass Adlib soundtrack but you only have it playing PC speaker sound in the video.

@GaryRetroGamer Год назад

Thanks for the kind words! And yes, you are absolutely correct - in some cases, we were unfortunately not able to get "enhanced" (non PC farty speaker) sound working. DOS games can be very tricky to get running properly on modern operating systems...which is very fitting considering how difficult they could be to get running sometimes back in the day!

@Domarius64 Год назад

@GaryRetroGamer oh it's just a matter of getting DosBox settings right and using the games Setup program, or in some cases, looking up its manual for the right command line arguments. Though I can appreciate that might dramatically increase the time it takes to put a video together for 100 games...

@GaryRetroGamer Год назад

@@Domarius64 That's exactly it. It would add a huge amount of time to video production. I once spent one and a half hours trying to get adlib support for a DOS game (I think it was Interplay's Neuromancer?) - only to finally realize that the floppy image I had actually didn't have the full drivers for it! So wasted time. Boo :(

I'll try to write here, maybe someone knows the game I'm looking for since I can't find it in all the lists I look at. The game was of the type ball that jumps perpendicularly to a platform that could only be moved left and right (type Arkanoid). By bouncing the ball (if I remember correctly it was metal) you had to kill the enemies while avoiding obstacles and the peculiar thing was that the enemies were crushed by this ball with splatter effects XD (at least for the time). I don't remember anything else, I was quite young. Does anyone have similar memories?

@GaryRetroGamer Год назад

This is discussed in the video description. Yeah, definitely popular on the 16-bits - but if you were exclusively an MS-DOS gamer, you probably wouldn't have heard of most of these. Bear in mind that MS-DOS was favoured in the US, while the 16-bits were much bigger in Europe. In the US, the Amiga/ST didn't have a big foothold at all.

@Asphodellife Год назад

@@GaryRetroGamer yeah, could be. Amiga and Atari were quite big in Europe. Most had these titles in their collection I think (be it bought or cracked). PC got very big after the demise of Commodore and with titles like Wing Commander and Doom. Say 1994.

North & South obscure? O_O but this is an AWESOME list. had no idea about even a sole existence of most of those. thank you!

Ironically, despite being set in the USA - in North America, very few people have heard of North and South! I don't believe some of the North and South ports were even released there, so NA audiences would never have seen it. Hence, obscure.
