i used to argue with the other middle schoolers about how dark forces was superior to doom because you could look up and down. it really did seem pretty amazing in 1995

dos gaming was great. you had to work to get games running but then you were rewarded with something like mech warrior 2 or privateer which couldn’t really be experienced on any other platform

Mech Warrior 2 was one of my very favorite games, ever. Right up there with Monkey Island, Myst, StarCraft. Man now I want to go play a bunch of old games. Maybe even Starship Titanic, which came a bit later but was so much fun.

Privateer was a fantastic looking game. I loved New Detroit with it's Corescant/Blade Runner visuals. I did prefer Monkey Island 2 over DOTT.

I'd add Syndicate and Lemmings to the list of great VGA games.

Two of the "VGA DOS games" screenshots from high resolution Mac version and HD remake, poor quality blog spam?

No Blood. I love that game.
