DOS Days

DOS Games Released in 1991

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:

Typical Gaming System

Fast-moving games like flight sims will need a fast 386 running at 25 or 33 MHz or a 486, and get 2 MB RAM for these along with VGA graphics. More static games will still support EGA and some, even CGA. For these you can still get away with just an 8088 or 8086 with 640 KB. For sound, Roland MT-32 is still widely supported, but also General MIDI is starting to come in - both are great. Sound Blaster Pro for digital effects.
