3:07 This one grabbed my attention. I did some research and found this was only released in its native Spain and the US. It was successful in the former and not so successful in the latter.
Thanks for adding the timecode list in your comment. Can you fix the year typo in the description from 1993 to 1994. Its coz this video really covers only the 1994 titles, right?
@@Risingson2We live in a time where PS3 games are retro. DOS&other old PCs like ZX, Amiga, PC98 etc just don't have the same amount of public exposure as NES/SNES etc
@@விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக் oh yes because most of the people who were doing retro discourse in the 00s and 10s were Japanese or North American guys. If you learned about video game history through them then, of course, everything else is obscure
@@விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக் nah there has never been a problem of availability on PC. There has been a problem of documentation. Consoles can be retrocompatible, but you can play a Windows game from 20 years ago in Windows 11 for example
Hello, can you help me with something? How did you manage to run the game Tony and Friends in Kellogg's Land? I tried to run it in Dosbox and it is unplayable, the screen only loads anything if I click on another window on my computer and leave the dosbox window deselected. But if I leave the dosbox window deselected I can't press any button ingame. The game file was downloaded from the ExOv5 collection. What should I do?
Sorry - can't help you with this. The clip used in the video was provided by a channel contributor. I'll ask him the next time I talk to him - but he goes through so many clips, he may not remember. If he does, I'll let you know.
Okay, so I was told that he just downloaded the zip and it "just worked". I'm guessing it's a different version of the file than you have; he doesn't remember where he got it from ("some abandonware" site). If it helps, he was using DosBox-0.74-3. That's all I can tell you. Good luck!
Ah yes, "the hidden below" the first fps native to Germany. Did a full playthrough a few years back and found it extremely underwhelming, even though the engine is not *that* bad.
I've gone through all your videos of obscure MS-DOS games looking for a particular one that I remember playing when I was very young... I've been searching all over the internet for years and still haven't found it. maybe someone here can help me? it was a pretty old-looking educational game, with a pitch black background, basic white text, and some weird colorful creatures/monsters. I'm pretty sure there were two variations from the same publisher: one that focused on math and one on phonics (my family only had the math one, but a friend of mine had the phonics version). the only game I could find when trying to search for it was Number Munchers, but that looks nothing like what I remember. I hated the game as a kid, though. I recall having to solve and type out math problems within a timer, all while those creepy monsters stared at you from the void. had nightmares about it, haha. but I can't find it anywhere for the life of me... on account of the fact that I don't remember the title of the game(s). if anyone knows what I'm talking about please let me know, it's been bothering me for decades.

Nice MS-DOS game's list Gary. You never failed to impress ❤❤❤
Incredible list! Thank you!
5:00 I saw that haha
your channel is the best! i want all (most) of these
1:39 holy crap, I finally found this one! I remember playing this but never got the name. Amazing! Thanks for the nostalgia!
I recognize a few here
Creep Clash, Sento, Virtuoso, Oscar, Superfrog...
And of course "Inherit the Earth", which was my own suggestion.
3:07 This one grabbed my attention. I did some research and found this was only released in its native Spain and the US. It was successful in the former and not so successful in the latter.
Last Action Hero looks like the blueprint for the first GTA
When u see a fps hadouken, u know its reeeally obscure
So, there was a Robotech flight sim for MS-DOS. Gary, that's very obscure!
I'd played the demos of The Crystal Maze, Empire Soccer and Power Drive on magazine coverdisks. I now own Superfrog(+HD) from GOG
Some of these games really have insane art styles. Some of them amazing, and some are just a non-sensical acid trip
Thanks for adding the timecode list in your comment.
Can you fix the year typo in the description from 1993 to 1994. Its coz this video really covers only the 1994 titles, right?
Fixed! And yes, it only covers 1994. Thank you for pointing it out!
The Hidden Below is so underrated. There's full version in English somewhere on the internet
Interesting stuff there. There are many I'd like to look into so captions or even a list in the description would have been appreciated ;/
Oooooh there is a list! Sorry :P
Also, turn on closed captions/subtitles to see the titles as the video is playing
That game Universe from 1994 by Core Design looks awesome.
Nice obscure vid
Honestly, all DOS games except for DOOM, Wolfenstein&Dike NUken are obscure.
that's revisionism, or a good bait, or both

Reunion was the only one I knew...

@@GaryRetroGamer Same version here. I just gave up, and preferred to play the Amiga version.
commander blood is the sequel to captain blood

Is there a list with the names of the games?
Check the top/pinned comment here. It has everything.
dude you need to set up slower the cycles of dosbox, can't you see some games are too fast than others?
How do you play these old games btw ? And is it possible to run them on a mobile phone ?
I am certain the music and sound effects are better. Change your sound emulation to Sound Blaster my man. Great list though!
