Has it been 14 years already? Time does fly when you’re having fun (with DOS games.) Having a chill Sunday evening of DOS gaming to celebrate.

“Mission Sunlight” stream. 3D Vincent van Gogh for Windows 95!

I’m playing a 1998 French edutainment title “Mission Sunlight” (Mission Soleil) about Vincent van Gogh, which displays the works of the famous impressionist in the best possible way – in 3D software rendered polygons.

MS-DOS Games in 1998

1998 was pretty much the final year when one could still find more than a handful of DOS games on store shelves (thanks, Windows!,) so let’s take a look at a few interesting games from the end of the big MS-DOS gaming era.

L-Man stream archive

Just relaxing on a Saturday night while playing a humorous Taiwanese turn based fighting game L-Man/蜥蜴超人 (Softstar Entertainment, 1996).

Westwood Movie Collection 1985 – 1995

A selection of internal photos and videos, along with a doze of game footage and music, documenting the history of Westwood Studios taken from the Westwood 10th Anniversary (Virgin Interactive Entertainment, 1995) bonus CD. Box blurb: “The history of Westwood Studios parallels the history of development in the computer entertainment industry. Westwood’s 10th anniversary sees […]

DOS Game Club podcast appearance

I finally got to be a guest on the DOS Game Club podcast, where I talked about one of my favorite DOS games of all time – Alone in the Dark. Check it out: https://www.dosgameclub.com/alone-in-the-dark/

Under a Killing Moon demo

A non-interactive part of “Under A Killing Moon” (Access Software, 1994) demo that I found on the CD for “Virtual Reality Madness… and More” book.

Inca CD-ROM version stream

Testing my new streaming setup and playing the CD-ROM version of Coktel Vision’s trippy classic “Inca” (1993). Watch me fail at the game, then attempt to cheat, then actually cheat, then crash the game. Overall it was a rather fun evening.   Sorry for all the audio dropouts. Apparently Gilles Douieb recycled a tune from […]

Day of the Tentacle stream archive

Decided to relax a little bit and play one of my favorite games of all time. Apologies for my voice cutting out so often. Not really sure what the issue was.  

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis demo

Here’s a pretty cool Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (Lucasarts, 1992) interactive demo. A choice of the part is somewhat surprising, as this is something that happens rather late in the game (Spoilers!). I’ve decided to stick with MT-32 music for this one. A slightly larger than the floppy demo in file size, […]

Wolfenstein 3D review

Join me as I recall my first time encountering the legendary American spy William Joseph “B.J.” Blazkowicz, and his heroic adventures in samey looking Nazi fortresses known as Wolfenstein 3D (id Software/Apogee Software, 1992). Why are all the turkey dinners on the floor? Is that some sort of a German thing? Mein leben! MobyGames page: http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/wolfenstein-3d […]

Full Throttle demo

Here’s an interactive demo of Full Throttle (Lucasarts, 1995). This huge (over 170 megabytes) demo was obviously meant for coverdisks, and despite its size is rather short. It’s just a few interactive sequences sandwiched between two in-engine trailers for the game. Most interesting thing is the narration that was recorded specifically for this demo, and […]

Hidden Games part 2

Between user submissions and some more research, I found enough hidden games to make another video. Let’s take a look at more classic and not so classic games with easter eggs. Art D’s Batch Adventures: https://archive.org/details/wcadvent
