Yes, there were a lot of dual releases around '95, but there's a lot of oddballs as well. The most consistent thing I notice is how quietly these were released. Was amazed Tyrian 2000 was released for DOS in 1999.
Some, like the 2 early X-COM's were very sloppy conversions that still require hacking for most people to play them on a modern machine (even though the conversion was done relatively recently). Early release for for Win 3.x (Most flight-sims clung to DOS even after Win9x was released.

Sierra's Windows conversions of classics seems "spotty" 2 King's Quests, Freddy Pharkas,etc. Most games that have both DOS and Windows versions were generally released around 1995, when Windows 95 was released, but others that use longstanding parsers (like Sierra's AGI and SCI games) have had both DOS and Windows versions for a long while.Īctually, what' struck me is the amazing inconsistency that I've seen. That's why I'm interested in other Windows versions of old DOS titles. The DOS version still works on modern PC' s (with no floppy-swapping) but, of course the speed's all wrong (varies between way too fast and way too slow), the music is all Ad-lib sounding, sampled audio is missing, etc.Īnyway, like I said the Windows version ran (mostly) fine for me.

"First Samurai" is also a good example where you don't want to play the PC version.

This could be handled fairly easily if someone could tweak the UAE source code so you could hot-swap floppies (IE: Press Ctrl-F12 to swap between 1stSamuaraiA.ADF and 1stSamuaraiB.ADF). I still remember a British magazine saying you couldn't run "Dungeon Master" on an A500 because it required a meg to run. Mostly European programmers not grasping the concept of an expanded Amiga (it supported up to 4 floppy drives, but multi-drive support was almost as bad as Hard-Drive support). (The problem I find with the Amiga versions is the speed of the disk drives and the amount of swapping needed is extremely annoying.) Transport Tycoon Deluxe added (updated 5May2003) Reply 1 of 32, by Snover Removed "Pandora Directive" as it is a DOS game with a Windows tool (that is useless in 2000/XP). A few I'm not so sure about like "Descent II" and Twinsen's Odyssey (Little Big Adventure 2)Ī few surprises here like "1942: The Pacific Air War" (Gold) and Tyrian 2000. The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery Steel Panthers III: Brigade Command (1939-1999)
Space Quest VI: Roger Wilco in the Spinal Frontier Halls of the Dead - Faery Tale Adventure II Some of these were only available for Windows in a later re-release (with a partial name-change).īroken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars (Circle of Blood)īubble Bobble featuring Rainbow Islands (Acclaim)ĭeus (sequel to 1994's Robinson's Requiem)ĮcoQuest 2: Lost Secret of The Rainforest Most of the data was retrieved from MobyGames with a few minor corrections. Ok, this is a very preliminary list of the DOS game titles that were also available for Windows (not DOS games running within Windows).
(The original Amiga version should also be quite playable). In any case, I know I can play it now without messing with speed/IRQ/DMA settings, etc. (On XP you can use the 256-color option on the Compatibility Tab to keep a proper color palette). Runs in windowed mode just fine on XP with both sound effects and MIDI, but you can't play Full-Screen. Runs fullscreen with sound just fine on Win98 with one exception. The Windows version can be run in a window or full-screen (if your Desktop isn't set to 256 colors, then the windowed version's palette will be mangled). I know that Another World/Out of this World was giving headaches to those trying to run the DOS version under 2000/XP so I gave the Windows version a try (I found this little gem on CD at a "Half-Price" bookstore clearance rack for 50 cents). Off the top-of-my-head, I know that "Big Red Racing", "Out of this World", "King's Quest V", "Freddy Pharcus: Frontier Pharmacist" and "Gobliiins" were all made available in Windows as well as DOS. Anyone have a listing of all the DOS titles that were also made available in Windows format (3.1 or 9x)?
