DOS Days

DOS Games Released in 1993

Any titles that have a link take you to a page dedicated to that particular game with manuals, copy protection details, advice on how to get the game running and more.

Here is a shortcut to each year:

Typical Gaming System

Use a 2x or 4x CD-ROM, and definitely run VGA graphics. An 80286 at 16 MHz may play a game, but it won't be much fun. For anything more demanding such as Doom, X-Wing or Wing Commander III you should be running a 486SX-25 with 4 MB RAM as a minimum spec to make it more enjoyable. For the best spec, get a 486DX2-50 or DX2-66 running alongside a fast VESA Local Bus graphics card and 4 or 8 MB RAM.
