Yes, I mean those primitive stuff working on DOS, which reminds me my earliest childhood Sad Esspecially now, after I downloaded DOSBOX to have some flashbacks.

So, for those who did, what old DOS hames have you played?

A near endless list.  I LOVED Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe though.  The Campaign mode was the first true "RPG" I ever played....at least with saves and what not.....or maybe Baseball Stars on the NES...yeah, I suppose that's older, if slightly less of an "RPG".

President Elect in the early 80's was actually a damned good presidential sim for its time. It managed the right balance of realistic PVIU with "whoa, that big media blitz actually cause a surprise flip in state x". Much better than President Forever seems to anyway.
