Prince Of Persia

Prince of Persia I, every computer in MS-DOS era had this game.
I played on low-end 386s without soundcard, the noises coming from internal speaker were scary! (especially when playing at silent dawn)

This game was created by Jordan Mechner, developed and published by Brøderbund for MS-DOS in 1990.

Now you can enjoy this classic with full quality sound and effects, as the emulator has a virtual soundblaster.

QBasic

The famous programming language that came with MS-DOS.

In the 90s, my friend introduced me to QBasic.
This was my first programming experience, I spent hours in front of that CRT screen creating little programs, like calculators for high school math studies.
And my friend created a Quiz style game.

This is QBasic running GORILLA.BAS. A game created by IBM (not Microsoft) in 1991 as a demonstration of QBasic's explosive banana capabilities:


Now It's a Portable Abandonware! Comes with GORILLA.BAS, MONEY.BAS, NIBBLES.BAS, REMLINE.BAS and some other demos.

Wolf3D

Wolf3D was developed by id Software and released on May 5, 1992 for MS-DOS. The source code of Wolfenstein 3D was released on July 21, 1995.

I really enjoyed this game, spent hours on my 486-DX4 computer back in 90's. When my parents bought my first computer, this game was preloaded on it's harddrive.
The first time I played, I got dizzy.
