DOS Games Discussion

Today the DOS Games Archive brings to you a list of ten DOS games that may be not widely known but are nevertheless worth checking out. 1. City Beneath the Surface https://image.dosgamesarchive.com/screenshots/small/cbs-10.png Made by a small development team from Finland, this rare gem follows the ...

The description sounds quite similar to World Empire. This is actually a series of games, with the first one having been released for DOS in 1991.

If not that, try looking at the list of Risk-ike games.

Hmm, your description reminded me of Weird Island somewhat but I don't remember the graphics there being particularly stunning. Could "Simon Shares" be the publisher's name? There was a company called Simon & Schuster Interactive . Here's the full list of their games at MobyGames: https://www.mobyga...

The amount of resource types you list is not very typical for an RTS game of the Warcraft II vibe. Since you say it was 3D I'm not suggesting Primitive Wars. Any chance it could've been a later instalment in the Settlers series? Maybe a MegaGlest mod?

This is slightly too new for an old game; chances are the folks here may not be able to help you.

An official video outlining the history of Chex Quest is now up and can be viewed here:

The game itself has now got an official page at the ChexMix website:

The only side-scrolling RTS kinda like game I can think of is The Tone Rebellion (there's also the Clonk series but that one is certainly not what you're looking for).

Something like Get Medieval or Gauntlet?

What I do remember that maybe distinct is the intro and game over sequences. It starts with a news broadcast that has a real voice over, the anchorman mentioning how the Earth's environment is pretty much wrecked (I believe the game takes place in the near future). The broadcast is cut off by the a...

It has been noted numerous times, and actually stated in the the rules , that "old" is a completely non-descriptive adjective that absolutely does not help to identify a game, like, at all . Unless you specify the exact, or at least approximate time period when you played the game , you significantl...

I used to go to the library as a kid and their PC's had an old game where you could build a single town. I hope you do realise that there is no way to infer from this the time of the described events (and hence, the time when this game might have been released). Please provide helpful information ....

There's a level editor for Warcraft: Orcs & Humans but I wasn't able to run it in Wine.

I've found a number of user-made levels for the game recently.

Glad to help, Will Rock is one of my favourite games

Just found this neat looking RTS w/ RPG elements: Loria: Rage of Chaos This game has been released. They changed the art style from pixelish to something like an advanced Warcraft II art made in the era of StarCraft , with Warcraft III elements like heroes with abilities and items. The official sit...

That's Will Rock.

I recall one team being red and one being blue in color.

Something like The Perfect General or Battle Isle?

Now that the first Warcraft game is sold again, I took a little interest in the user-made content created for the game. Blizzard never released any development tools for Warcraft besides the unit stats editor, but a certain BJ Pollard reverse-engineered the map format and in 1995 wrote and made publ...

Again, MobyGames to the rescue:
Diablo variants

Doesn't ring a bell but you can try finding it in this MobyGames list (space trading and combat games).
