DOS Days

DOS Games Released in 1989

Any titles that have a link take you to a page dedicated to that particular game with manuals, copy protection details, advice on how to get the game running and more.

Here is a shortcut to each year:

1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000


Typical Gaming System

An 80386DX would be incredible, but most games run perfectly well on a 12 MHz 80286. MCGA or VGA graphics standards are ideal but not mandatory with Hercules mono, CGA or EGA graphics to fall back on. Sound-wise, a Sound Blaster or Roland MT-32 are ideal, but Ad Lib or Tandy 3-voice is still fine.
