Actually just realised this is a Windows game, although I'm sure I played it in DOS back in the day.

>>3882082
So is this shit version of XMOC?

>>3882084
XCOM? Not at all.

Op already won the thread with their choice, but here's a good runner-up.

Another honorable mention.

I explained my mistake in the very next post, but I bet it made you feel clever to point it out again didn't it?

And of course 2, Final Doom, etc.

Pretty much the whole series and the other old Sierra "Quest" series.

Die, Führer, Die!

Hell yer. Pretty sure this was one of my first three games I ever played. Along with NBA JAM and some power ranger game on the SEGA. Can't remember which one exactly.

I could only beat the 2nd level at the time but I loved playing it. I used to watch my dad play the final level as Atreides. He could never beat it though. My first time with RTS and I loved it.

>>3882036
Love Dune but have little experience with the RTS genre, would you guys still recommend it?

Also can't believe Monkey Island hasn't been posted.

>>3882036
Installed this recently, still great but short fun in multiplayer.

Puzzle games stand the test of time well.

DOS game I play the most is X-COM Apocalypse. Been getting interested in the Heroes of Might and Magic games recently too.

>>3882082
Isn't Syndicate like a real time squad based shooter or something? I've been enjoying X-COM Apocalypse in real time recently and more of that would be great.

Abuse for best run'n'gun.

>>3884019
Yes it's real time squad based cyberpunk shooter, although you could finish most of the game with just 1 person. It's really not similar to the X-COM franchise.


Lightspeed/Hyperspeed were pretty awesome space exploration games for DOS.

>>3882409
yikes dude, the filtering on that screenshot is hurting my eyes

>>3884364
The first few X-COM games are turn based strategy games. But Apocalypse also has a real time mode.

Any good lesser known 1st person dungeon crawlers I should try out? Already played all the well known ones.

>>3884815
Legends of Valour.

This is the type of game you have no clue what to do, but it's fun to mess around and see how much you can fuck up before you get fired. It's a simulator so if you get good at this you will actually learn useful real life stuff, I heard they use/used this game as learning tool in Harvard.

>>3884929
Is this a grand strategy game?

>>3884937
I don't know how to describe it exactly, but I guess grand strategy would be the correct genre. There are no armies or guns or stuff like that, just business stuff and economics. There are scenarios to play, and then there's the open ended "grand strategy" game where you set up your business and let it rip.

>>3884929
>This is the type of game you have no clue what to do
the game has a good tutorial
it's hard but you're not left clueless

>>3884937
business sim. you manage a company and can do shit like retail, manufacturing, raw material extraction, farming, stock investment (including taking over competitors), technology R&D

>>3883870
It's not a very hard RTS, so it's a good starting point in the genre.
Besides, if you aren't spoiled by modern RTS controls with unit grouping and multi-selection, it's easier to get into Dune II's spartan UI.

Oh, and Dune by Cryo is worth a try too.

My favorite are already picked, so I'll add a runner-up.
