Lots of MS-DOS games to play on-line

Graphics from this era really haven't aged well have they? I'm playing Final Fantasy 7 on the playstation at the moment and the graphics are horrible!

Umm, I'm playing Final Fantasy 7 on NES:

Eh, I love pixels myself, and adore most of the old timey gfx. There's also the appreciation factor for the tech achievements - Tomb Raider for example was one of the groundbreaking wave of new 3D games, pulling out all kinds of coding stunts.

Another thing is that most of SD era games look crap on modern TVs & monitors, especially without shaders/scanlines. Which is why I have a substantial Trinitron collection...

Not from the archive.org link, but I recently got from abandonware sites Joda Stories & Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures.



They were unsucessful back in the day but I've always been curious about their gameplay.

Not bad. A cute alternative to solitaire and minesweeper!

Maybe a similar Spectrum game someday?

Now I'm addicted to the first Tomb Raider (1996). I remember finishing it back in the day.

I enjoy witnessing the ambition of what developers pulled off in those early 3D titles, and strangely I appreciate the chunky pixels - more so than when they're extrapolated to higher resolutions by emulators. I have a Sega Saturn that I'm revisiting at the moment and part of the charm for me is similar to what makes the Spectrum special. Exemplary creativity despite constraints that are utterly crushing by modern standards.

The wife and I loved all the early Tomb Raiders. It was the driving force behind us upgrading our PC, back in the day.

Find them impossible to play these days. I just can't handle the tank controls.
