DOS Games Discussion

Looks like I've missed a few more or less recent projects:

Abuse 1996 - fork of the SDL port
Xenoveritas Abuse - another fork, with a recent update
Free Abuse 2 - a project to bugfix fRaBs

Some more IndieDB stuff:
Dwelvers
Magnetonics
Red Conflict
Reprisal
Towncraft II
Tribal Siege

You have provided an extremely scant description. One does not even know if this was a first-person shooter or some other kind of game. Please take a look at the posting guidelines for hints that may help you remember important details.

Limrix, you're absolutely right it seems!

Here's the MobyGames page of that game:

Just for the record, the games are still available here: http://plbm.com/oldsite/index2.htm This is an exact copy of the old "main" PLBM site, so the pages still call the downloads shareware and have obsolete links to online registration. But the downloads themselves are registered version...

We're not very browser games savvy, but I guess you can look in this list:
https://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/ ... ist-games/
It's a list of browser-based platform games. I'm not sure MobyGames allows to easily search for game maker tools.

Very scant details, I gather it must have been some sort of wargame? Assuming this was on Windows, try looking in these lists: https://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/windows/strategy/tbs/offset,0/so,1a/list-games/ https://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/windows/strategy/wargame/offset,0/so,1a/list-ga...

Added two Abuse ports to the list:

• Abuse 1996
• Xenoveritas SDL2 port

I don't like DOSBox frontends because, while they provide a user-friendly GUI, they actually obfuscate the actual DOSBox configuration. The parameter you looked for is aspect=false, found under the [render] section in the DOSBox configuration file. You can actually change that at runtime by typing c...

Hello Joseph, and welcome to the forums! We're happy to have you here :) I've fixed the links in your post. Cyberdrome looks very impressive and is certainly of historical interest. Would be wonderful if you released the full game -- I understand that it is in a complete state? Perhaps you'd also ma...

Very sparse description, try looking in this list if Windows racing games:

At first I wanted to say Tropico but it does not really match your description, as it is more focussed on building an economy.

Try looking in this list, if you haven't already:

Yay! Good luck contacting the author!

BTW, I gather that there are other games with similar gameplay, at least this one, much earlier DOS title, appears to have comparable mechanics:

Do you remember gameplay? If it was the same as in Bejeweled , maybe look in this list of tile-matching puzzles: https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/genre-tile-matching-puzzle-creation/offset,0/so,1a/ But what you say also makes me think of Boulder Dash like games, perhaps something like Lomax Boul...

Must be a QIX variant, like Xonix.

I think I know what you're talking about. Tower of the Sorcerer?

Completely wild guess: Track Attack.

All I can suggest is this list of games set during WWII:

Yay, glad you found it!

This one?
