Some even do to this day, using emulators and virtual machines to run DOS.īut if you were a 90s kid, what would be your most-played games on DOS? Well, that’s what I’m going to answer today. But old habits die hard, and many gamers would stick with DOS until the dawn of the 21 st century. Granted, Windows is a lot easier to pick up and work with, thanks to its graphical interface. And during the early to mid-90s every hardcore computer geek was way more familiar with DOS compared to this new GUI-based OS. Plus, DOS requires way fewer resources to run. I remember that weird commercial Bill Gates did for Windows 95, using Doom to explain why you should upgrade from DOS.īut DOS offered some things that Windows didn’t, such as more low-level access to hardware components.
And there was even a brand-new operating system called Windows which promised exciting new graphical features with its DirectX API.
The 90s were an excellent time to be a PC gamer, you had great games coming out for DOS.
