we11romario · July 16th, 2003

can any one suggest me some games that can run in my old 486 dx66.
i like the 1st prince of persia very much.

Try out some LucasArts Adventures (Monkey Island I+II, Sam&Max, Day of the Tentacle...) for sure.

If you like Jump'n'Runs, I'd suggest the Commander Keen series (especially the "Goodbye Galaxy" part).

or if you're looking for some RPGs you could play the Might & Magic or Wizardry series. theres also an old D&D game called Stonekeep.

celtic tales..

btw, where do I download celtic tales? and also, I'm not sure whether you can tell me where to do download the dos games or not. But if it's not allowed, please do not scold me, just tell me kindly

shadow_dreamer · July 16th, 2003

The old trusty Transport Tycoon and Syndicate... Oh, and of course, Day of the Tentacle...

Lots of favorite DOS titles, namely:
* The curse of Monkey Island
* Full Throttle
* Dark Sun 2
* Screamer
* Hi-Octane
* Little Big Adventure I/II (Relentless/Twinsen's Oddissey)
* The Legend of Kyrandia Book 3:Malcolm's Revenge
* Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

Just to name some

F-3582 · July 16th, 2003

Curse of Monkey Island is a Win9x game. I don't believe that this will run on a 486 PC.

It's all about the Ultima. Ultima 6 and 7 should run well on a 486. The Sierra adventure series are also great... King's Quest 5 and 6 were 486'ers... as well as Quest for Glory 1-3.

Well if you like POP, then try the sequel Prince Of Persia 2.

- Transport Tycoon
- Titus
- Prehistoric
- Railroad tycoon
- Sid Meier's Civilization
- Sid Meier's Pirates
- Jazz Jackrabbit??
- MDK/Fallout (it's dos games, but i doubt they will run on your 486)

My bad I meant The Secret of Monkey Island, the very first installment of the saga... Le Chuck's Revenge was good but nowhere as good as the first one, same goes for The Curse of MI... nothing beats the original

Well there were 2 Indy graphical adventures back then, Indiana Jones and the Holy Grial and Indiana Jone and the Fate of Atlantis... both of them were superb games

**Demigod** · July 16th, 2003

How about some FPS games? Hexen, Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior are all good and should run well. I believe SimCity 2000 is also a DOS game.

And so is Quake, although I doubt he could run it well with his 486.

In the FPS genre I always liked Heretic and Hexen... I'm a big fan of the medieval fantasy setting

Oh yeah, Ultima's 1-7 are all great games, as well as the Might and Magic series and Wizardry as well. But my favorite's are Dungeon Master and Dungeon Master 2 - The Legend of Skullkeep.
