Transport Tycoon
Did you really, really want a model train set as a kid, with a landscape modeled after your preferences, stations where you want them and amazing trains that you control? Was it absolutely out of reach for you as well? Well, thanks to Chris
Hugo’s House of Horrors
Oh no! First Penelope is kidnapped by the evil Dr. Hammerstein, then your uncle Horace is murdered and finally, you crash your airplane in the South American jungle where Penelope gets bitten by a venomous spider! Join us as we explore the
Carmageddon
Hang on to yer helmet while we drive over a couple pedestrians and cows and try to wreck the other drivers in Stainless Software's 1997 cult classic "Carmageddon". Join us as we try to figure out what the whole hype was about, exactly how f
Star Trek: 25th Anniversary
It's time for round four of our "year of the adventure game"! So far we've covered Day of the Tentacle, Lost Eden and Simon the Sorcerer, but now it's time to go beyond the stars with Interplay's 1992 Star Trek: 25th Anniversary, celebratin
The Lost Vikings
Back when Blizzard Entertainment was still known as Silicon & Synapse, they made a funny looking puzzle-platformer called The Lost Vikings. It's hard as nails, utterly unfair, but also weirdly kind of compelling. What more can we say about
Simon the Sorcerer
Calypso needs your help! The evil sorcerer Sordid has turned him (and a couple other people) into stone. You need to become a Wizard and save the day in Adventure Soft's 1993 graphical adventure hit "Simon the Sorcerer"! Joining hosts Marti
Syndicate
In May we played Syndicate, the 1993 tactical shooter game by Bullfrog. Set in a futuristic dystopian cyberpunk world where governments have been replaced by corporations, it's quite a bit grittier than many of Bullfrog's other titles. But
Lost Eden
Prince Adam of Mo, Eloy, Dina and yet more of their friends try to unite Dinosaurs and Humans in an attempt to save the world from the evil Morkus Rex, who, together with his army of Tyrannosaurs, threatens to kill them all. Join us as we g
Rise of the Triad
Join us as we side with the High-Risk United Nations Taskforce and try to rid the world of evil El Oscuro's cult who wants to destroy Los Angeles using their "transmitter" in Apogee's 1995 first person shooter "Rise of the Triad". Joining h
Day of the Tentacle
Well, you know what they say: "If you want to save the world, you gotta push a few old ladies down the stairs" - and that's exactly what we did! Join us as we save the world from the evil Purple Tentacle in LucasArts' 1993 absolute masterpi
[April Fools’] Automated Episode: DOTT & MM
Well, turns out we weren't quite ready yet to deprecate you of our lovely voices. I guess we'll keep making podcasts the classic ("lame") way. Thanks for all the nice comments about this episode, it was a lot of fun to make (this post has b
Interview with David Fox
To kick off the DOS Game Club "Year of the Adventure Game" with a bang, we have a special episode for you all: an interview with David Fox! We recently got the chance to talk to him about the early days of developing adventure games at Luca
Master of Magic
Who likes turn based strategy games? WE DO! But we think we're not alone in that. Simtex' 1994 4X classic Master of Magic is seen by many as one of the hidden gems of the genre often compared to "Civilization with Magic", but does that hold
Skiing Games
How many Skiing games are there for DOS? We don't know for sure, but we believe the number is 13. And we tried them all! There are some that probably everybody knows about, like The Games: Winter Challenge, even though people probably thoug
Street Rod
In November we played STREET ROD, a quirky little racing game that's all about 1960s hot rods, released in 1989 by California Dreams. Sounds pretty American, right? Turns out, this game was actually developed in Soviet-controlled Poland, be
Ečstatica
Northern Europe, 928 AD. A thirsty traveler, a wolf howling in the distance, and a seemingly deserted village. Or is it? Ečstatica is a 3D survival horror game with a very unique look: Instead of polygons, everything is made out of ellipsoi
Wing Commander
Thirty years ago, on 26 September 1990, Origin Systems released Wing Commander for MS-DOS, the first game in what would be a very long-running and expansive series of prominent videogames. Last September we played it with the club to see wh
Z
In August we played Z, one of the hardest-to-google games on the planet. Unless you know it's from the Bitmap Brothers, which you now do! But is the game also noteworthy for it's quality gameplay and fancy FMV cutscenes telling an exciting
Jill of the Jungle
We spent our July playing Jill of the Jungle, one of the big milestones in PC gaming history for making Epic Megagames actually "mega" and allowing them to build all those future games we all so dearly love. But is Jill itself a noteworthy
Frederik Pohl’s Gateway
Hello everyone! Last June we spent playing our first text adventure with the club. Incredible that we never did one before, so good thing we got that sorted. It's a genre that can be difficult to get into, so we decided to pick a very acces
Pinball!
Greetings DOS fans, Last May we featured not one, but many games. All of the same genre: PINBALL! Helping Florian ("rnlf") and Martijn ("Tijn") out are two very knowledgeable experts. First of all DGC regular Tim ("Spacefarer"), who has mad
System Shock
Welcome to my death machine, interloper! My plans have come to fruition prematurely, quite to my satisfaction. You have my thanks, hacker. Let me show you the destruction podcast episode you I have brought upon the planet Earth. Martijn and
Descent
Hello Dostalgicians! We still haven't quite caught up with our schedule, but we're getting there. One step along the way is this episode in which we discuss Parallax Software's 1995 hit game Descent - the game we played back in March. Marti
DOS Games Jam & modern DOS Culture
It is the year 2020 and yet, some of us are still fascinated by an operating system that hasn't been updated in nearly 20 years. In this episode we are trying to answer the question "why"? That DOS is still relevant today is demonstrated by
Nomad
Bonjour DOS fans! In our ongoing attempt to get back on schedule, we present to you our podcast episode on Nomad, the obscure 1993 space adventure game we played in February. The show is filled with DGC veterans, as Florian ("rnlf") hosts f
Worms
Hello! We hope everyone is staying safe with all this craziness going on. When in doubt: stay inside and play DOS games, folks! Back in January we played Worms with the club and boy did we have a lot of fun with that one. We even organised
Ultima VII
Hello fellow DOS fans! A while back we ran a Twitter poll (https://twitter.com/dosgameclub/status/1179029183961239552) to see what people thought a good RPG would be for us to check out. And although Dark Sun, Darklands and Albion all good
wipE’out”
Yo yo yo! It's been a while since we last featured a racing game, so we dove into the suggestion forum (https://www.dosgameclub.com/forums/forum/game-suggestions/) and came up with 90s 3D pod racer Wipeout. Most people probably remember thi
The 7th Guest
Oh hello there! Every year in October we try to pick a game that fits with the spooky nature of the Halloween season. This year that game was The 7th Guest, developed by Trilobyte and released by Virgin in 1993 on not one, but two (!) CD-RO
Sid Meier’s Pirates!
Sail ho! Back in September we appropriately (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Talk_Like_a_Pirate_Day) played Sid Meier's Pirates!, the classic 1987 pirate game by Microprose. While not Sid Meier's first game by any stretch, it is
