DOS Days

DOS Games Released in 1996

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

We're really into Pentium territory at this point, so don't bother with anything less. Get 8 MB of RAM and a fast 3D-capable PCI graphics card.
