What would you like the theme to be?
Total Votes: 0

For the MS-DOS Only theme, I'm going to rely on GOG for finding games (though they might be available elsewhere, of course)!

Even though my girlfriend really want the Games for Kids, I choose MS-DOS xD

We're going to go with MS-DOS Only! As mentioned in the first post, I'll be relying heavily on GOG so the bounties are a bit more accessible. Feel free to post any suggestions you might have!

@dhobo - I was kinda pulling for Godzilla since I recently decided to watch all of the big guy's movies. I watch a lot of them as a kid, but honestly it's been so long that I don't remember what I have and have not watched I'm only on the fourth movie, so I have a ways to go! Anyways, perhaps it can win the vote next time

I'm feeling mean so I'll suggest
X-COM UFO Defense
Simcity 2000
Fantasy General
The Elder Scrolls : Arena

All of these are available on GOG

@moho_00 - After the first two movies, the quality really drops off (especially in the writing department) and turns into some of the corniest godawful movie watching. Great if you love cheesy movies though, like me.

As for my suggestions:

  • Star Wars: Tie Fighter / X-Wing
  • Alien Legacy
  • Eye of the Beholder trilogy
  • Legend of Kyrandia trilogy

The bounties are up! I also added a few "extra" ones for larger games outside of the theme.

@dhobo - Oh, I have no problem with the cheese The first movie is pretty good just in general and the second one felt similar, but a little "been there, done that". I thought King Kong vs. Godzilla was pretty meh and was a noticeable shift in tone. I watched the American version, so that might have been part of the problem...generally speaking, I'm going with the original Japanese versions though. Mothra vs. Godzilla was solid. Up next is Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster and I think this is one of the ones I watched a lot as a kid. I know there was one with Ghidorah in it and I thought he was awesome.

Just wait until you get to All Monsters Attack, the single worst Godzilla related thing I have ever encountered.

As much as I like cheese, and even (barely) tolerate the awfulness of Minilla in general, I cannot find any way to enjoy that one. There are movies that are bad, then there are movies that are so bad they're good, but this one finds a way to push past that threshold and become the worst kind of awful.
