I recently played an amazing DOS game where you have your country and you can declare war or peace with other ones, and i really enjoyed it. Growing up one of my favorite DOS games was Gobliiins 3, such cool memories!

One of my favourite DOS games was One Must Fall 2097. It’s a fighting game with giant robots piloted by humans (similar to Pacific Rim). I really appreciated the diversity in design and move set for the different robots, and it had a killer main theme.

I loved the theme so much. The composer of the theme was surprised by the popularity and did an update/remake of it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvlVaQl7kEk

This is really neat! I always enjoy seeing VGM composers interact with the community like this.

Absolutely my favourite. Met the dev team when they were working on the ill-fated sequel. The forums were a great community. There's an OpenOMF remake in progress (same game but better connectivity options and compatibility). It's being reverse engineered IIRC.

The best part was Tournament Mode where you could train your pilot for Power, Agility and Endurance stats and upgrade your 'bot's arm / leg power / speed, armour etc. Great stuff.

Holy crap, I had erased One Must Fall from my memory until I clicked that video link. I remember waking up super early to play that on the weekends when the house was quite.
