DOS Days

DOS Games Released in 1992

Any titles that have a link take you to a page dedicated to that particular game with manuals, copy protection details, advice on how to get the game running and more.

Here is a shortcut to each year:

1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000


Typical Gaming System

Get a low-speed CD-ROM (1x or 2x) from this year onwards. Fast-moving or animated games will support a 286 but get a fast 386DX 33 or 40 MHz, or better still, a 486DX-25 or 33. 2 MB RAM minimum, though I'd recommend 4 MB for these games. For adventure games, an XT will likely still run them with VGA graphics, but recommend a minimum of a 286-16 and really a 386 will be more fluid. Audio-wise you can still get widespread support for the Roland MT-32, but also Pro Audio Spectrum, General MIDI, and of course Sound Blaster and Ad Lib.
