Old School DOS games

[Sombs]

Wasn't that a great era for gaming? There was no game design, so everyone did program and stylize everything the way they wanted. Some games like Reunion were so incredibly hard to master it was actually a thing you were proud of when you managed to make progress. The ideas and thought people put into the more serious games was so much more challenging and more up to have features you will never find in current games. It's a shame, really. The only hope are the indi game designers and kickstarters that try to bring those things as revamped things back to Steam. Like, I saw a Populous-clone recently on Steam. I just don't remember the name anymore. Or Dungeon Keeper, there is now plenty of games based on that old concept that was ignore for a decade. There was a push of games based on this in the recent two years. However, they lack the charme of the original, sadly.

Also, the feeling when the game asks you copy-protection questions where you had to look up stuff in the manual to give the right answer: priceless. Master of Orion did that all the time. You had to look up the name of certain ship pictures.
