80's DOS games.

edited July 2017 in Software
I'm still awaiting arrival of the 121mb hard drive I bought for the packmate III, however it does boot off of my MS-DOS 6.22 Bootdisk, and it does run programs off of other floppy discs even when I take out the boot disk.

I have next to no knowledhe of the 80's, so I am wondering what would be some good games or programs to try that'd fit on a 1.2mb "3.5, and run on a 12mhz 286 with 1mb of ram?

  • Check out the site listed by Someguy a few posts back:
    ...collection located here: ftp://major.butt.care/mirrors/DOS%20Software/

    Site has "525 DOS Games from the 80s".
    Also under Total Dos Collection folders, software is listed by year.

    This should get you started!!
  • Leisure Suit Larry:
    Tame by today's standards, but there's a couple of parts still semi-NSFW.

    Arkanoid:
    Classic Breakout clone.

    These games came out in '87 and '88 so a PC from '89 should be able to handle them.

    Off-topic: Wouldn't this thread be better suited to the "Video Games" subboard?
