let's be honest Dos boys, we only played this shit because we didn't have anything better. There wasn't a single console kid who was jealous of us and wanted to play Cosmo.

Even though I had an NES, I was fascinated by early PC games.

I still like Cosmo and am excited for the remaster to come out even though we've only ever gotten literal seconds of gameplay

Another crappy /v/-tier thread from zoomers who are only capable of whining about games they don't like and don't play.

They were jealous because we were able to download the full game (and thousands more) from warez boards while they had to beg mom for a new cart

Sure, you get amazing graphics, memorable music, and creative gameplay. But you will never know the pure kino SOVL of handcrafting an autoexec.bat and boot disk floppy just so your game will fit in the system's memory.

It depends on the era. CGA (particularly from the mid to late 80's) and a lot of EGA stuff was indeed janky as hell, and a lot of shitty ports released around this time frame. By the time VGA rolled around, however, DOS gaming got its shit together. Not that it still didn't get inferior ports or jank shit, of course, but no platform is free from that.

Always found it crazy how the same DOS game could look wildly different depending on which hardware configuration you used. I suppose it's somewhat analogous to graphics settings in later 3D accelerated games.
