[April Fools’] Automated Episode: DOTT & MM

DOS Game Club ·

2021/03/31

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 been automatically generated on April 1, 2021) Hello. This […]

DOS Game Club ·

2021/03/15

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 Lucas, where he was one of the first people […]

Master of Magic

DOS Game Club ·

2021/03/01

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 up? Or is it actually more than that? We're […]

Skiing Games

DOS Game Club ·

2021/01/31

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 thought that game was actually called "Winter Games". Far from it though, that's […]

Street Rod

DOS Game Club ·

2021/01/03

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, behind the iron curtain! Learn all about what makes this game interesting in this episode of the DOS […]

Ečstatica

DOS Game Club ·

2020/12/03

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 ellipsoids. Join us in our adventure to restore the village and defeat evil demons. […]

Wing Commander

DOS Game Club ·

2020/11/01

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 what it's all about and whether it holds up today. Two DGC veterans join hosts […]

DOS Game Club ·

2020/10/01

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 story? Well, find out! Joining hosts Martijn ("Tijn") and Florian ("rnlf") in this […]

Jill of the Jungle

DOS Game Club ·

2020/09/01

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 game? Or do we need the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia to […]

Frederik Pohl’s Gateway

DOS Game Club ·

2020/07/31

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 accessible game: Frederik Pohl's Gateway, by Legend Entertainment, released in […]

Pinball!

DOS Game Club ·

2020/07/12

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 made an elaborate video series covering the history of pinball videogames, from the very basic beginnings […]

2020/06/27

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.

Descent

2020/06/10

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. Martijn and Florian are joined by Elias ("pumpuli"), Rami ("JikissGamer") and Jonathan ("microwerx") in […]

DOS Games Jam & modern DOS Culture

DOS Game Club ·

2020/05/20

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 the success of DOS Games Jam - a game jam […]

Nomad

DOS Game Club ·

2020/05/13

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 for a change, joined by Martijn ("Tijn") and Esko ("FireFyte"). Suggested by DGC […]

Worms

DOS Game Club ·

2020/04/24

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 a little club tournament to see who has […]

Ultima VII

DOS Game Club ·

2020/03/29

Hello fellow DOS fans! A while back we ran a Twitter poll to see what people thought a good RPG would be for us to check out. And although Dark Sun, Darklands and Albion all good respectable scores, there was one clear winner: Ultima VII, released in 1992 by Origin Systems. So that became our […]

wipE’out”

DOS Game Club ·

2020/01/26

Yo yo yo! It's been a while since we last featured a racing game, so we dove into the suggestion forum and came up with 90s 3D pod racer Wipeout. Most people probably remember this as a title for the Sony Playstation, but the first game in the series actually saw a release for PC […]

The 7th Guest

DOS Game Club ·

2019/12/28

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-ROMs. Both our hosts Martijn ("Tijn") and Florian ("rnlf") […]

Sid Meier’s Pirates!

DOS Game Club ·

2019/11/27

Sail ho! Back in September we appropriately played Sid Meier's Pirates!, the classic 1987 pirate game by Microprose. While not Sid Meier's first game by any stretch, it is the first game which has his name in the title, firmly establishing him as the famous game designer he's known as today. We're excited to announce […]
