The origonal Doom. Man, I would play that game all day, too bad I cant find it anymore.
Well? I guess the "best" from before some your times has not even been mentioned until now. Before pc games came about after sound was first in the form of a board square speaker there were the "arcade classics" that eventually made it to the pc. ASTEROIDS - SPACE INVADERS - PACMAN(mentioned earlier in pc form only) made some of the few there. But then came the "PC"! DUKE NUKEM-NUKEM 2-WOLF3D-DUKE3D-... and then there was HALF LIFE 1-RETURN TO CASTLE WOLFENSTEIN-SOLDIER OF FORTUNE! And of course now there is SOLDIER OF FORTUNE II and HALF LIFE 2 to take the prize! for realistic effects.
Do you want to run an old dos game in XP? http://www.dosgames.com/xphints.php offers that claim while a utility called DosBox can run old dos and dos/95 games in a virtual window. These are those that were installed to the drive itself. What this does is create a virtual dos window(shell) for some old games as well as old apps. http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1
There was another called Defender Pro or something similar that was tried. But DosBox actually worked when the original Duke Nukem and Duke 3D were ran. The original simply looked like it did on an old dos or WIN 3.1 system when in full dos while Duke 3D was lacking sound. The old Sound Blaster or Adlib settings failed to initialize an updated Audigy 2 ZS at the time. The odd thing was actually hearing that old 8bit game through the 5.1 surround sound speaker setup!
