Abandonware DOS title

Games featuring PvP multiplayer mode sorted by release date

Of all the multiplayer modes available for a game, PvP (Player VS Player) is one of the most appreciated. The thrill of competing in some way against a human opponent is something that changes the way you're playing and is often completely different than fighting a computer opponent. In fact, the first games in history lacked a computer opponent (it needed more resources, more code, etc.), there was PvP before everything else.

Battle Chess appeal was almost entirely focused on the animations when two pieces ended on the same square.
