I seem to be spending so much time giving myself a headache looking for a couple of games I haven't found that I've forgotten to actually play half the many billion games I've downloaded!

Community points represent how enthusiastic a DOS Game Zone member is. More game downloads etc more "active" member.

That's the hazard of this site.

Yeah, It's the modern day equivalent to buying games that sit on shelves in their boxes gathering dust!

Hell, I have a bunch of those.

Speaking of which, I got games to play.

(and I wonder why I am single)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've got a Commodore vic20 buried under a pile of dust somewhere!

Hard to believe that people used to get excited about graphics (compared to what's available now)

Just think, in 20 - 30 years time, people will be laughing at how crap and primitive gaming was back in the day of the ps3, xbox360 etc.

I still get excited about those old graphics.

Fancy graphics on games now have become so commonplace I barely notice them anymore.

Not only that, but gameplay style. Those old games were often designed to be damn hard to play, so the achievement was in completing it. That wouldn't be plausable now, it's all about holding the interest of people with short attention spans. Game makers want you to complete a game so you can see all the movie quality cut-scenes they've made!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I get really hooked on a lot of them, especially Prince of Persia. When I finished Sands of Time and unlocked the original P.o.P. I started playing it and realized it was harder to play than the game I'd just completed!

I think in that particular instance that was due to what controls were available back then.

However, you are right in that gameplay was a much bigger issue (and by far still the most important).

Also, I believe the increased challenge of some of those games were done to increase the play time of the game, since space was a real concern (unlike now) and so as much game as possible had to be loaded in the space available.

We have to think back in the old days about the 80's and early 90's games like Wolfenstein3d was the best for its time and still think so even in todays age but also I was the game Doom was the kicker being the game to really change fps games all over if you think about it Doom, Duke Nukem 3d may have been old but if it weren't for those games then the newer stuff would not have been made a game that I thought that was good as far as the sound goes was corridor7 the sounds were so good it made you think that this game was ahead of its time another game I thought that was good for its was Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender bender there was alot to that game being an adventure game it had a great set of rpg elements even though the game did not have speech sounds the music and sounds is what kept it going the HUD system was similar to Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis but you had different commands such as combine or examine and many other ones but I really liked that game for its replay value each and every time you replayed the game the puzzles were different like the transporters had different codes so you could not use the same one from the previous game. Yeah games would never be the same not in a million years it would be nice to have one of those types of games made once in a while.

I would love to see a new old style Quest For Glory game, or possibly a new Indiana Jones point and click adventure based on the upcoming new movie.
