Descent 3 is an OK game but the game play is nowhere near as original and exciting as the first two - it's one of those newfangled sequels where all the classic feeling is gone.

This is going to be a list of DOS games I like, in the order I want them, along with links to places where you can get them. I'm just adding a bunch of headings for games I like and will add links to where you can get them later.

Still under construction! Feel free to do my work for me and add links to download sites. Just make sure to mention whether your link is for the shareware, freeware or full versions.

You should be able to run these on just about anything with DosBox. If you are running a g3 Pre-Intel Mac, you need this special version of DosBox.
