Hey GAF,
Recently, I remembered a few DOS games that I used to play with my cousins at my uncles house. After a few Google searches, I was able to find 2 of the games that I was looking for.
One of them was a slots game called The Vegas Bandit.
It's very simple, just bet 1-3 coins and try to win big. My cousins and I would always compete for high scores.
Another one I was able to find was Jungle Pinball
It's one of the boards from Epic Pinball by Epic Games. Again, we always had so much fun trying to beat out each others high scores. We would do the same thing with the pinball game that was pre-loaded on Windows XP.
I'm glad that I'm just able to drop them right into dosbox and play them just like I did back in the day.
One game I wasn't able to play was a game we used to play called F-18 No Fly Zone. I found out that it was a Windows game, not a DOS game, and my Windows 8 computer only does compatibility mode up to XP. If anyone has any advice to me on how to get it running on my computer, it would be awesome.
But playing those two games brought back a lot of memories for me. If you guys have any stories to share about DOS games, I'd love to hear them.
I'd also love to hear recommendations for DOS games that others and I may have missed.
