Thread: DOS Games?

    DOS Games?

    DOS was so cute!
    Back then I was playing in SCO-UNIX...

    Certainly wasn’t the good old days, was days of poor hardware compatibility, interrupt clashes, and all the elements of frustration we now find nothing more than an annoyance...

    Nothing like spanning 10 3.5s only to have the last one corrupt etc DOS Games?

    Yep I just bought myself a Retropie set up (Raspberry Pi running game system emulators)

    Absolute bargain compared to modern game systems - the games back in the day were just good fun...

    All I need to do now is grab the 34Gb of *cough* free *cough* ROMs and I'll be able to play old video games for years.....

    Lemmings, Moon Patrol, Xevious, Space Invaders, digdug etc here we come !!!!!

    For anyone interested:

    RetroPi + KODI Classic Game Console Raspberry Pi 3 | Nintendo NES SNES N64 SEGA | eBay

    which comes with all the emulators etc already installed (as well as Kodi for casting movies etc)


    Here's the RetroPie site which explains all about the free software. RetroPie - Retro-gaming on the Raspberry Pi


    Note you can also run Retropie on a normal PC if you want to....
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    1993 Defender 110 ute "Doris"
    1994 Range Rover Vogue LSE "The Luxo-Barge"
    1994 Defender 130 HCPU "Rolly"

    Ah, but remember the older text based games.

    I wasted forests of printout playing SuperTrek on the Data General.

    Games, nah... I still remember the first hard drive I seen for the personal computer... So wanted to buy it but weekly wage was $100 per week and the hard drive was $1,000... It had a huge amount of storage, 1 meg....I could have put 6 single sided floppy's on that...

    Prior to having a floppy drive, my only storage was a tape drive, I always got a belting for some unknown reason(some thing to do with Mum's music tapes not being any good after saving computer data to)...

    During the 80's, the hard drives just stated growing, 5 meg to 20 meg within a few years, then IDE came out at the end, that was a leap... The Biggest drive I seen in the 80's was a 60 meg from an IBM model 34(I think it was that model), the drive weighed about 50 kilos and the machine had 2... Pity I couldn't connect it to computer, but alas no way of working that out at the time...


    Memories, what happened to the last 30+ years, oh yeh kids started arriving...

    I can remember the Spec build on my DEC P90.. in the 1990s..
    DAT drive, SCSI HDD Array...
    all for the princely sum of $9900

    And we were blown away at how “quick” it was!
