Oh God this is so beautiful, I'm going to have it printed then hang it on my 
bathroom door (6.5MB jpg high res image).

<http://i2.wp.com/information2share.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/list-of-worthwhile-dos-games.jpg>

There are a some notable omissions (the Twinsen games for one) and a few 
oddities in some of the descriptions (Colonization more complex than 
Civilization? Not by a long shot) but it's a sight to behold nevertheless. 
I'm ashamed to admit I must have played at least 70% of the games on that 
list (but finished probably less than 5% of those).

Never mind, I'm retarded - Twinsen is there (with a different name) and he 
simply said Colonization is a complex game.

It's way past my bedtime, folks.

Quite a list.  I've only played about 1/5th of those.  Many of those I
have played I remember for starting and quitting very quickly though.

Looks like I've got some games to catch up on :)

>Quite a list.

    Ya, I'm glad you posted that.  Blood 1 is supposed to be getting a 
remake/rerelease, I'll have to check on that again.  The list is missing 
Test Drive 1, and the early Need For Speed games.  NFS1 was astounding, 
there's never been an NFS game that's equaled it, not even NFS5 Porsche 
Unleashed, which I played online every week for like a full year :)  God I 
loved NFS1; the 'Lost Vegas' track at night was heart-pounding, and every 
car had a distinct personality.  Wow, those were the days.  None of this 
fancy analog controller stuff either:  pure arrow key steering, baby!  Why 
they dropped the Road and Track magazine tie-in I cannot understand, as the 
magic and 'realism' if you will was dropped with it.
