Daggerfall also was released.

Here's a true gem: God of Thunder
And best of all, nowadays it's freeware !!

Although, I think it's better with keyboard... But I still recommend it.

I've never used DOSBox before, but I started to think about it, and I think there are at least a few games I'd want to try.

The first ones that come to mind are Relentless and Twinsen's Odyssey (LBA 1&2). I've never played Alone in the Dark, but I may want to try it. I'll probably play Warcraft as well.

What do you all want to play in DOSBox?

Wow, Twinsen's Odyssey never even crossed my mind! That'll probably be one of the first I try out too, now that you mention it. Other ones I'll be playing right off the bat:

• Duke Nukem 1 & 2
  
• Commander Keen (all)
  
• X-Wing
  
• F-15 Strike Eagle 3
  
• Jazz Jackrabbit

And a ton more that I cant think of right now. I'm excited about DosBox

I played Crusader: No Remorse on my cousin's Sega Saturn, but I don't remember getting much further than the first level. I would love to play that again. Also, Fantasy Empires.

Daggerfall won't play at playable speeds? Ah, that sucks, I'm looking at youtube videos right now and man it brings back memories. I remember if you loiter in a shop until nightfall everything is free! I went dungeon diving for hours upon hours in that game, it was huge!

EDIT: I still have my CD for Daggerfall. I actually still have the box it came in also, the shiny one, and the instructions and all the papers that came in it. I wonder how much I could sell it on e-bay for?

You could still play it on your main computer.

[second exodous]

^eh, I could, but it would be much more fun in handheld form.

Death Rally...probably too high requirements though.

Death Rally...probably too high requirements though.

Play Karnaaj Rally (GBA) instead. It seems to be a decent alternative

Betrayal at Krondor was such an amazing game. Have you read any of Feist's novels?

Well, actually I loved it for its gameplay (I didn´t finish it so I couldn´t appreciate its promising story)

On the other hand, the depressing and shattered world of Darksun really encouraged me to read the novels

I am the other way around. Never played Krondor (looking forward to trying it out), but read a part of the Riftwar Saga.

My keenest point of interest will be UFO : Enemy Unknown, Dune 2, about a hundred of adventure games, Dungeon Master 2, the Beholder trilogy (hi Skeezix ), Lands of Lore, Little Big Adventure... there are so many to replay and so many to explore, it all depends on what will run okay in DOSBox. I don't want to foretell evil but I would not count with Dungeon Keeper that much, it was rather demanding. Hopefully I am wrong.

I played the heck out of the demo version as a kid! Why didn't anyone tell me it's freeware now? This gains an instant spot on my "must play" -list.

I played Crusader: No Remorse on my cousin's Sega Saturn, but I don't remember getting much further than the first level. I would love to play that again. Also, Fantasy Empires.

I'd love playing the crusader games (there were three if I remember correctly), but I don't think P can churn enough cycles

Dune 2,

no need for that, already enjoing it on my DS...

[r00tw00t]

Dark Forces <- one of the top games of the 90s

I'm also keeping an eye on this engine: http://darkxl.wordpress.com/ and hoping it will become open source one day

F-111 Stealth Bomber .. I think it was a Novalogic game, can't quite remember so far back, but I played the hell out of it ..
