One of the greatest games of all-time at 13:54, Star Control II!

Wow man, great videos, tnks!

I had a Amstrad 1512 as my main computer from 1986 - 1991 (Games became too complex by 89- 1990) as a kid. I had about 20 of these games, they seemed much better back then, even in the limited CGA colours, which seemed to be vibrant purple and blue lol. I fondly look back at them. My favourite games were Lightspeed, Allycat, A Submarine simulator, F-15, Prince of Persia and Monkey Island.

The C-64 was also better then the PC for most smaller games, like Commando. Until the PC got soundcards and better graphics.

I need see Battlezone 2 in one of your list... TRULLY A UNDERATED GEM!

A lot of the games from the beginning I remember playing on my Atari 800. Lots of old Amiga/Atari ports in the early DOS days. Loved seeing Bioforge on here and Ascendancy. I still have the Ascendancy CD. Some of the other DOS games I liked were Chuck Yeagers Air Combat, Alien Legacy, No Greater Glory, and of course, the Eye of the Beholder series (which I still have a hint book for).

LMAO!! Bouncing Babies!! and so many others I used to play!

I remember playing Life and Death before briefly as a kid. Didn't know what the hell I was doing and a lot of patients died. Also, nice signature haha :P

I recall L&D2. Without any manual I did also make quite a hefty pile of corpses before fully learning the right diagnosis procedures and specially the brain surgeries. Probly 400 of my patients died or was otherwise mishandled (molested), roughly the same amount treated alright and of the latter I'm quite sure I sutured the scalp while leaving equipment there after myself. :P

I love theese videos... mostly because there is a game i am looking for, from my childhood... but i honestly dont remember anything about it or not even sure how to describe it, i hope one day i'll see it in a video like this xD

It is still shocking to me that Ultima VII: The Black Gate, was made in 1992. What a GAME, what an adventure, what a story and extremely well made. I went back and played again and finished it - after aaaaall those years - in 2018 I think, I didn't think twice about the graphics. They are still servicable :)

I remember finding One Must Fall out of the blue on a BBS. It claimed to be a fighting game in the vein of Street Fighter, which just seemed impossible. Many days and several download attempts later and I had the installer. I loaded up the game and was incredibly impressed by the results. Though it was more of a demo than a full game, dropping you into the action with predefined characters the moment you started the game. I remember hoping they would make a full game out of it. (I think the demo might have even hinted that one was coming?) I didn’t expect OMF2097 and was quite surprised when that came out. But I still loved the starch out of it and think it holds up to this day!

my god... i've played all of them... so much memories

You had lightspeed but not hyperspeed? Still not seeing cosmo’s cosmic adventure (unless it’s in another video which I’m now going through all of these) so many memories coming back regardless

EuroPC, 3.5' Floppy drive in the Keyboard. You could murder someone with that heavy thing. First games ever were Sim City, Police Quest 1, Elite and Driller.

Looking for a DOS game from the 80s with the same color scheme as the Zaxxon from the beginning of this video. In the game, it was a top down view of your character as you navigated one screen maze/puzzles by opening and closing different gates. The catch was that there were these caterpillars/centipedes pursuing you, so you had to be careful about which gates to close and open. Pretty generic simple game, but i would love to revisit it.

So many classics!

I want to play QFG Shadows of Darkness again, if only to finally complete it. When I bought it, it was so riddled with bugs that it literally could not be finished.

there are so many games that I played at that time, so I become old man now ㅠ.ㅠ

Dont remember lots of these but quite a few bring back very old memories. Especially Gold Rush, which also had a remake and updated look. I still have the original hint book around here somewhere. It came with a card with red cellophane over a window. The pages were crossed out with red ink. but when you used the red cellophane, you could no longer see the red ink so you could read the written clues underneath.

Many fond memories and some not so much :) did not see Moonstone in the mix, also now i know why i have ear problems :)

I would have added Veil of Darkness, Descent, Kings Quest/Space Quest games (not sure if the SCUMMVM Lucas Arts stuff would qualify here) and the Tie Fighter/X-Wing games. Oh, and Dune II. Otherwise a great list.

Its like those shooting games that you control aircrafts but instead of planes is that warrior that I mentioned. Does that infos ring any bell?

I got a PC in the mid 90's before that only consoles and a C-64, which I felt was better then the pc. When i did get my first pc in 96, games like Ascendancy blew me away, sadly only the AI was dumb as bricks. So when you found them they barely developed anything, and were a pushover. Still the best age of PC gaming the 90's!

there was a game minute men. i can't find it?

There's one game I'm trying to remember, I can't describe it very well, but here goes. It has a big wide open field full of characters on 2 sides, much like chess. You control the characters movements one at a time when it's your turn. I remember two of the characters being a knight with a helmet on and a longsword, no shield, and a water elemental. When two characters met, it would go into a top down view where you would fight the opposing character in real time. I can't remember anything else, but i remember playing a lot as a kid (I'm 34 now...F me)
