4x4 Offroad Racing

DOS1988 racing
Released in 1988 for DOS, this game lets you drive monster trucks across deserts, swamps, and icy wastelands with all the grace of a drunken forklift. It’s less about speed and more about not flipping your vehicle like a pancake every two seconds. The graphics are basic, the physics are unpredictable, and the soundtrack is nonexistent, but it...

A Dudley Dilemma

DOS1988 adventure
A Dudley Dilemma (1988) sounds like the title of a children’s book, but it’s actually a very British text adventure for DOS where the stakes are politely quirky and mildly confusing. You play as Dudley, a man with problems that range from the mundane to the absurd, depending on your choices and sense of direction - both literal and narr...

The $100,000 pyramid

DOS1988 puzzle
Ever wanted to be on a game show without leaving your CRT-lit basement? The $100,000 Pyramid brings you that chance. You guess words. Your partner gives clues. Sometimes you wonder if your partner is helping or having a keyboard-related meltdown. The graphics scream "business presentation" and the host seems to have gone missing, but hey, you are h...

Aaargh

DOS1988 action
Aaargh (1988) is exactly what you’ll scream as your giant monster stomps through cities with all the grace of a drunk kaiju. On DOS, this arcade-ish game lets you smash stuff, roast villagers, and battle other monsters in duels that feel like two rubber suits colliding. It’s dumb, loud, and charmingly awful — the kind of game you&...

Visions of the Aftermath: The Boomtown

DOS1988 simulation

Bionic Commando

DOS1988 action
In Bionic Commando, you're a soldier with no jumping ability—because who needs knees when you have a grappling arm? Swing through 1988 DOS architecture like a pixelated Tarzan, blasting bad guys and trying not to fall to your death every five seconds. It's like Contra met Spider-Man, had a disagreement about controls, and made up over explosi...
