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.

Happy Holidays 2022 stream! 🎄🎅💾

I drank some hot tea and played a few holiday DOS games to celebrate 2022’s final week.

MORE! 1998 DOS games stream

Played a bunch of random DOS games from 1998 that I and the chat picked before my ISP dropped the ball on my upload speed again.

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.

“Platoon” Duke Nukem 3D total conversion stream

This was mostly to test my webcam and live chat capabilities, but I also get to reaffirm that both Platoon and NAM aren’t bad games multiple times throughout. (WWIIGI is though)   Download Platoon for Duke 3D here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/platoon-tc/downloads

Big Blue Disk

Today I take a look at an IBM PC diskmag “Big Blue Disk”. Published from 1986 to 1998, it was known for its variety in software it had to offer, and many games. When it came to games this diskmag had ties to many pc gaming legends, including Moraffware, Apogee, and id Software. But wait! […]

Let’s Play Doom 2D part 1

Today I’m starting a let’s play of a 1996 freeware action platformer Doom 2D. All of our old familiar friends from Doom are here, along with a good portion of challenging level design by a bunch of Russians of Prikol Software. Let’s cut through some imps! Download the game & its source code here (Russian): […]

Wiering Software

Today I take a look at shareware and freeware games created by a one man team known as Wiering Software. Yes, some of them are more than a little “inspired” by Super Mario Bros., but is that really a bad thing? The games feature Mario, his cousin, a duck, a Dutch Santa Claus, and some […]
