Jill of the Jungle

September 01, 2020 20:04 - 1 hour - 66.9 MB

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

July 31, 2020 23:00 - 2 hours - 115 MB

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 […]

DOS Games Jam & modern DOS Culture

May 20, 2020 20:58 - 1 hour - 85.6 MB

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 […]

Ultima VII

March 29, 2020 00:57 - 1 hour - 92.5 MB

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”

January 26, 2020 19:25 - 1 hour - 93.7 MB

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 […]

Life and Death

April 04, 2019 07:10 - 1 hour - 50.4 MB

Hey WeirDOS! Time for another DGC episode! In February we played Life and Death, the hyper-realistic, hyper-difficult surgery simulator by The Software Toolworks, published in 1988.

Wasteland

March 03, 2019 17:32 - 1 hour - 79.6 MB

September 28, 2018 23:13 - 2 hours - 109 MB
