I recently played an amazing DOS game where you have your country and you can declare war or peace with other ones, and i really enjoyed it. Growing up one of my favorite DOS games was Gobliiins 3, such cool memories!
I cannot remember the name but you got to choose between a boy character and a girl character and each stage you had to get all the collectibles to open the door. It was a 2d platformer as well.
Edit: Turns out the game is called Word Rescue.
ZZT was an amazing game where you could make your own games and program “objects” using a simple scripting language. It was my first programming language.
It was Tim Sweeney’s first game. I’ve never played Fortnight.
Bunch of greats mentioned so far. I was a big fan of an older game called “Millenium: Return to earth” in which you colonized the solar system. One of the few games I had that came on the larger, five inch floppies.
Doom, Duke Nukem 3d, Zak McKraken and the alien mindbenders, One Must Fall 2097
was road rash on DOS? played that a lot. wolf 3d too.
