The second game in the famous Elder Scrolls series, this one called The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall.
Daggerfall is a sprawling MS-DOS-based RPG, full of monsters and magic (and fun), and was first released by Bethesda (and US Gold, in the UK anyway), back in 1996.
A game close to my heart, as I was the first person in the world to review Ion Storm‘s brilliant Deus Ex, for PC Zone magazine in 2000. Click here for the review.
Deus Ex (pronounced Day-Us-Ex – NOT Deuce-Ex) is a classic first-person, futuristic action game with stealth overtones, although you can choose whether to blast your way through it or not.
Badlands is a fun multi-player arcade race game, very much in the mould of the classic Super Sprint, except with a post-apocalyptic theme and with guns and missiles on the cars.
This excellent MS-DOS title, released by Disney Interactive in 1992, literally allows you to set up stunts, film them, and then edit them together into an independently-playable movie afterwards.
Or, to give the game its full title: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion – the fourth game in the popular Elder Scrolls series.
This lovely ‘modern retro’ game has been made to look and play like a Super Nintendo game. And I mean that as a compliment.
Richard Garriott’s Akalabeth was first released in 1979 for the Apple II home computer (and shortly afterwards for PC MS-DOS), and is arguably the first ever graphical Role-Playing Game ever released.
Developed by Neversoft and published by Activision in 2002.
Another brilliant Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game from Neversoft and Activision.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 first came out in 2001.
