1. That game was tough as hell!

But it was loads of fun to play

[cleofus1]

2. i loved it too

how about duke nukem...

[BulletproofLandshark]

3. Never cared much for Duke Nukem 3-D

But the newest one,Duke Nukem:Manhattan Project, is one worth checking out

[cleofus1]

4. haven't played manhatten

i will eventually i hope...

did you ever play doom?

11. HAIL TO THE KING, BABY!!!

Awesome game!

[ContraBass Black]

5. Yes!

Only the shareware version though, so I don't know what happens after the third level.

Getting turned upside down can be a death sentence.

6. come to think of it

i wonder if these games will even play on my computer anymore...i still have the complete doom and i have descent II...no duke nukem anymore,
i'll see later if xp will play these games...i tried to download alien invasion from disc...but it would not work...dos based games are gone the way of the dodo bird...sigh

7. It's unlikely but possible.

And there's a snowstorm's chance in hell that you have the sound drivers.

8. Its easy to do

use a dos emulator: DOSBOX: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1

The emultor is a bit hard to use so I recommend using the DFEND front end: http://members.home.nl/mabus/dfend.htm

This emulates everything: CGA/EGA/VGA/TGA converted to DirectX and ADLIB/SoundBlaster/PC Speaker/Tandy 3-Voice etc converted to DirectXSound.

for all your retro gaming needs!

(god am I a dork)

9. Thanks.

Now, whenever I find the time, I can play The Need For Speed.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

10. Hell yeah I remember that!

Wow... It looks so much worse than I remember!!

[cleofus1]

12. i bought my first joystick

just to play descent...and then descent II came out..

cutting edge dude...

13. awesome multi-player

used to have marathon lunch hour games at work with descent (and doom). Of course, that was before management knew about network gaming and the massive amount of time wasted. lol

14. Yeah, I gave it a whack, but 1v1 Quake2 matches was my thing

The play till sunrise, sleep till 4, go get Chinese takeout, start playing at 7 pm and do it all again - kind of thing.
