Here it is. The first episode of the DOS-centric gaming history series similar to my previous series that tackled the 10 crucial years of Amiga gaming. The first couple of years of MS DOS gaming, heavily relied on EGA graphics and PC Speaker sound. And while the clever use of colors could hide the first, awfully "farty" beeps and bops coming out of the PC Speaker are impossible to ignore.

If you like this series, perhaps you could enjoy a similar one I've made for Amiga and for C64?

But have no fear, with each passing year there will be more and more of VGA graphics-based games and more that use Adlib, and with time even Sound Blaster sound cards. And since the series aims to cover 1988 to 1997, we're bound to even dabble quite a bit into SVGA land in beautiful high res, high framerates graphics. That however will be a subject of latter episodes.

For few of the videos I couldn't record the gameplay myself or it was not feasible as it either would've taken way too much time to get far enough in the game or I'm just not good enough at it anymore. Here are the amazing sources of these videos:
