Title: free DOS/windowed games to play at work?
Post by: BigD on 16 Dec 2006, 02:12

Good gods, I am bored.  Anyone know of any free games that you'd recommend for me to mess around with while on the phones since I've plowed through the emails already?

Admittedly, not something that is quick and easy, but a lot of fun.

CAVE STORY (http://agtp.romhack.net/doukutsu.html).

Actually, I'm unsure if it can be run in a window.  It also might be too immersive to play while talking to people!

Wolfenstein 3D always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling, and it's easy to quit. Not only that, usually there's no install.

Shockwave!

If you can't find something to whet your tastes on there, you're insane.  Not only that, but since Atomfilms is also part of the site, when you get bored with the games you can go watch some Happy Tree Friends or something.

Bow Master (http://"http://www.lostvectors.com/prelude/index.html") kept me busy for countless hours during slow nights when I was working as a cubicle monkey for a tech support company.

NetHack ofcourse!
Or if you are already bored with it, ADOM or my favourite Dungeon Crawl.

Our very talented Mr. Hocking made a short, amusing game by the name of Flamewar.

It was a fun distraction!

Fuck, I sucked so bad at Flamewar.
But it was fun.

Commander Keen. What a great game. It is now being released for free over the internet by the original developers (I think) but you do need a DOS emulator to run it. There is a link to one that works fine somewhere on the site.
