DOS Games Discussion

I looked at the talkchess registration page for fun, and it is a simple math problem, phrased in a very appropriate form for the board subject. To solve it all you need is to look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_piece_relative_value If you can't solve it, I'd say you are as close to a bot ...

Many racing games to choose from.

Here is a selection from 2008: https://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/ ... ade_/2008/

You can try different years or other views (I assumed behind view) and get other lists.

This one: https://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/eracha

European title is 'Mario Maniaq' but the covers and description say he is a caveman more than an adventurer.

With the other covers, it would be nice if you could submit them to MobyGames perhaps?

Not sure - wild guess: Apidya

Or checkout the insects group at mobygames:

Was it a Windows game or some other platform? What type of cars did you race in, ordinary street cars, formula cars or something else?

Well...you didn't mention the platform, was is a DOS game?

If it was, I think it could be 'Wreckers'; the screenshots look much as you describe.

Hmm...bald villagers...how about Baldies or Skullcaps? But you do build villages I think.

It could be something from 'Fisher random chess' (chess960), or an artificial problem setup. 0-0-0-0 is not a standard castling in my book. As is, the paired problem as presented (with an otherwise empty board) cannot be completed for both sides because of the resulting column check condition for th...

So how does your game differ form AoE? Is it turn-based instead of real time? Did it have city/base building or not? Was it medieval or not? 2D or 3D?
I can't say I have much memory of starting menus in games, so that does not ring a bell with me.

Maybe in this list: https://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/ ... 16/ti,124/

This looks like an illegal castling to me, or possibly an 'artificial castling'; ordinarily the king should only move two positions from his *original* position - and if one side initially makes a castling like this, the other sides king cannot move through the checked square resulting from the oppo...

If it wasn't *all* combat, there is a smaller group of games about both space trading & combat:

ADOM maybe? Early versions (before v1.2) had no random dungeons according to the Wiki, and there are permanent dungeons in each game.
(I think I've played it, but it was long ago, when it was all ASCII stuff - now it has some nice graphics I think)

This group includes normal sokoban game play 'push crate to a specific location', but also games that only requires you to open a path to the exit.

When did you play it - a year helps (old/young says nothing)? Windows or DOS? Kids game I assume - anything educational? Or was it a horror game?

I can only think of one of the Broken Sword games, but there are many games taking place in Paris. https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/broken-sword-series https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/setting-city-paris Your description makes it sound like an adventure type game; or possibly a covert agent ...

Havok was released as a software development kit in 2000, so the timeframe might be different for your game. Mobygames has a couple of lists: https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/3d-engine-havok-vision-engine-vision-vulpine-vision https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/physics-engine-havok Havok thems...

Not sure but look at 'Castle of Dr. Brain' or 'The Island of Dr. Brain'

There is a series of Dr. Brain games, I only listed the DOS games above: https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/dr-brain-series

You could try to PM him, but the OP does not seem to have been checking in here since he posted this request, 4+ years ago. These addons are not documented on Mobygames yet, so it would be nice to have these pictures there too. (if you have some more information & decriptions about them, apart f...

Ok, then take a look at mobygames; one short list is below, games with educational themes - some are using the quake engine.
