A history which will never repeat itself, the hallmark of which was simplicity, creativity, and passion.

The first one and it hit me right on the feels. Arkanoid: Revenge of DOH was the 3rd DOS game I've ever played (Zool and the glorious Prehistorik 2), and I borrowed all these games from Alberto, who taught me not only to use DOS but also to understand and love computers back when I was a kid about 30 years ago. I was devastated when he suddenly passed away in his 40's, but every single time I play a DOS game I can't help but remember him and his teachings. The opening tune from Arkanoid has sent me hot rods to Nostalgiaville, and I bet if Alberto could know how long has gone what I learned from him he'd be proud of the kiddo who couldn't get his head around the use of ARJ and the darn parameters needed to cut up a chunk of a file to fit it into floppy disks

Beautiful video 🤩 This must have taken you a long time to put together...

I remember playing Hard Drivin’ In the arcade for the first time. The fact that you could drive off the road and even hit a cow was revolutionary. It seemed like so much freedom at the time.

Great video! I played so many of those games! One of my oldest (and best) memories was Stunts. Creating dozens of custom tracks, driving them normally or just crazy messing around, sometimes finding funny glitches and spending hours in the replay-tool watching stuff from every angle.

Excellent video as always, I remember playing most of them 😀

Wow, what a time travel, great video, remember playing a lot of this games in the past! Cheers!

Excellent video, thank you for putting all this together - quite a few gems in here i'd forgotten about, can't wait to get the old DOSbox fired up :)

You won me over the first few seconds in with the Space Debris mod. Also Arkanoid II. Hit me right in the feels. Thanks for the good memories

Hi! Congrats for another awesome video. So many memories of this games. I played most of them back at the day!

Sincere thank you for having a list with timestamps, you the man.

I've played most of these games when i was young, and the other I read on videogame magazine at the times. So many fond memories, many of these games were so much fun, simple and direct, we could define them almost minimalistic today, but that was the hardware available. Nonetheless developers managed to squeeze real masterpieces, and to make some incredible progresses. It was, simultaneously, the era of classics, the golden era for FPS, RTS, Driving and Adventure games, the era of many games with the best arcade feeling, and the paradise of flipper games. I would like to talk about so many of them but I haven't so much time, so I'll write a short list: - Civilization: the game you couldn't uninstall. - Syndicate: play with headphones or risking your neighbour would call police hearing the shootings. - Theme Park, Syndicate, Theme Hospital: when Bullfrog was at the top. - UFO Enemy Unknown: when you develop a link with your soldiers and you can't let them die. - Carmageddon: another extremely fun and controversial game. And Fear Factory. I don't remember such controversies for Quarantine, anyway, but maybe there were less. - Tomb Raider: so much atmosphere despite the blocky graphics. - Dune: a wonderful mix of adventure and strategy, with memorable characters. - Ultima VII: or how Origin did open world RPG games in 1992. - Screamer: awesome graphics and speed, it surprised everyone when it released. Developed by Graffiti, an italian software house. - F1GP2: It's funny, I had a blast with this, replaying entire championships, but I've never found the same pleasure with modern F1 games. - Network Q RAC Rally Championship: I lost days playing this, totally immersed, it's one of those games I would like to replay in a "lightly" updated version. - Pinball Fantasies: Stones'n'Bones is the best pinball table of all time.

Great video! The Legend of Kyrandia series was my favorite of the MS-DOS era. 👍🏻

Very well made video. Just enough footage to actually get idea of the game. It was nice to see few long time ago forgotten titles from magazines I was very curious about, but never got to play. Like Slipstream, I think it got. quite good reviews, but never saw game in action and didn't even remember it. Also didn't have clue that ie. PC Jungle Strike had FMV video

This is another classic video, love it, thanks!

Mais um grande video literalmente. Mas muito bom para a nostalgia de melhores tempos, em que qualquer pc corria tudo. Continua o bom trabalho e que os MSDoS esteja contigo.

Oh man, this is pure nostalgia. I've played and enjoyed all of these games with only a few exceptions.

Absolutely fantastic video again man keep it up 👌

I still play Master of Orion 1 via DOS Box. I remember so many great times with DOS games!!
