CapitanClassic Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 odd list. What was your criteria to determine the top games? No Sid Meier’s Pirates? 1987 (DOS) Or Sim City (1989) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serguei2 Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 My top 10 games are all games I played in 1980s. I didn't play Pirates or Simcity at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitanClassic Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 @Serguei2 There were about 2000 games released in 1980-1989 for IBM PC dos. With the advent of things like DosBox, you might not want to limit yourself to the games you happened to play back in that timeframe.

CapitanClassic Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) The PC didn’t really become a viable gaming machine until the early/mid ‘90s. Many of the great games released for DOS in the ‘80s came out first/better on other platforms. Other than the two mentioned above….
