I have decided to download a few and was wondering what your favourites were?

I managed to find Museum Madness which I loved as a kid, but was pretty difficult for me as a lot of it was about American history hehe. I also loved Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego? and I have just downloaded that.
I remember my dad playing Monkey Island so I might get that.

So yes, let's reminisce about the halycon days of 90s gaming!

Monkey Island = best games ever.

Try the Indiana Jones games which were designed by the same company, same click and play environment.

Fragile Allegiance. Another DOS game, good luck getting it to run in Windows.

Search 'the underdogs' on Google. There's a site with thousands of good games.

I had the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade game. ;D I don't remember ever beating it, but it was awesome.
But LucasArts was the company. We had all these awesome LucasArts games (including a few I haven't mentioned like Maniac Mansion and Zak McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders). Has anyone else ever played these??

These were the best type of games. ;D

Oh gosh, Zork. Definitely. xD It was text-only. Most annoying thing ever. Although I have some very fond memories of it. xD

Monkey Island is so expensive, though. The original that is. But, amazingly, my brother got me Monkey Island Madness (with the first two games, selling for $75 on Amazon) for $5 from a friend's used-game store. That's luck, right there. Definitely one of my favorites.

Anyone ever play Loom? I loved Loom. Bobbin Threadbare! (There's a part in Monkey Island where Guybrush hits his head after getting firing out of the cannon and one option for a response is "I'm Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother?" ;D ) But, Loom was AWESOME.

And I can't believe no one has mentioned Oregon Trail!! (That WAS DOS right? I played that in grade school...) Or the one where you play a runaway slave. :P

Hmmm... Number Munchers? Something like that. ;D

Carmen Sandiego was awesome. I remember playing that on my brother's computer... it had one of those printers that printed dots to form letters (I forget what that's called) where the paper was printed off in one continuous section and you had to physically separate the paper by tearing it along the serrated lines.

Yeah I have been using websites like that all day. Instead of paying, you have to sign up to a sister site and then they allow you to download games. (Torrenting DOS games isn't very popular!)
Anyway, then you block the other site's email so you're not constantly bombarded with junk mail, and voilá! ;D

Oregon trail was way before DOS... Oregon trail was before standard computers had hard drives. I remember running that on an Apple IIe POS directly from the awesomeness of the obsolete 5.25" floppy.
