Hello and welcome to the eighth episode of evolution of MS-DOS gaming.
We are in the year of 1989 now.
Lots of games started using VGA graphics and that showed the public that PC, although still regarded as more of a business machine, can also play games with good graphics (and sound if the game supported Adlib or Soundblaster).
And there were a lot of good MS-DOS games released in 1989 (that's why the list is so long in this episode). Games like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Street Rod, Space Quest 3, Budokan, Wasteland... and lots more.
Have fun and let us know in the comments if you think of any games we might have missed.

At this year, PC had better graphix, but C64 had waaaay better sound chip and thus games had more "soul" on the C64. For me at least definiately.

Proof visuals don't always make for a better game. Can't say that (aside from the explore/ RPG types) that these late 80's are more intriguing than many earlier games.

I love how even though the sound from the PC beeper made the speccie sound sophisticated, game makers still had a crack. See the music in outrun and afterburner:)

So many great games. I mainly played consoles back then, my best mate was at Uni in Liverpool early 1990's, I remember playing Indy 500, after following his hand written instructions on how to switch the PC on and load the game. It was a massive learning curve for a console gamer, but worth it. I raced all day while he was at Uni, amazing sounds, graphics & speed. Still one of my favourite driving games after all of these years.

I didn't know that there were so many SEGA arcade game ports on PC back then. Pity that most of them (except maybe Outrun) were awful ports. I played most of them on the Sega Master System, and I have to say they look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better on the Sega 8 bit console. In 1989 PC already got the 80386 (which is a 32 bit CPU, running at a speed between 16 and 25 Mhz at the beginning of 1989), why they got such horrible ports?
