I started writing these months ago but only recently had enough spare time to get to work on them. I am currently finishing off a series of blog articles on dos games from my childhood. I wrote this one on Kareltima III yesterday and published it today, I shall have one a day published if things go to plan.

This is the first in the series, I have x-com, dune II, mission mainframe, c-dogs, battle chess, dungeon of death, duke nukem, populous, settlers II gold, dungeon keeper and a ton more coming.

Interesting article, if you're an ol'games adept.
However, I would like it to see it a bit more detailed regarding the gameplay....

* Game is still on my list of 'must try' games .... time time, not enough free time Sad

Very nice!

I'll try and play this soon. (love the 10 kb(!) download size)

I hope you like it, it does parody many games of that time and has a lot of crudeness in it but I still find it funny. I think I must have been 10 or 11 when I first found it so even then while not understanding much of the humour I found it interesting enough to spend hours playing.

The second article is now available here on mission mainframe with a download http://photogabble.co.uk/2009/06/10/dos-mission-mainframe/

I wrote this one the same time as the first so haven't had time to implement the feedback you guys gave. The next one is on x-com (without download because the rights owners still sell it) and I have included a lot more detail in it. May add to the others as well but as we all know, busy people Laughing

Thanks for uploading these games, I'll take a look at 'em and hopefully add them to DOSGames.com during my next update. (Which should occur sometime between tomorrow and the end of the universe.)
