MS-DOS Game Library

Imagesource: https://archive.org/

Last but not least, (again) the question comes up whether MS-DOS software can already be called retro or not. The answer to this question probably depends more or less directly on your own affiliation to GenX, Y or Z.

Regardless of this, it has to be said that some of the best game ideas of all times were born in the 90s on MS-DOS based systems. Back then, it wasn't about the number of polygons, but about captivating game dynamics, which triggered enthusiasm in a different way.

If you are looking for a bit of nostalgia, the archive.org team will help you once again. In the dedicated Software Library MS-DOS Games you can find a lot of software that can be used directly in the browser thanks to the DosBox emulator.

If you don't find something in there, blame the letters Y or Z. 😉
