Just don't get many arcade/strategy games anymore.

-Warcraft 1

-Evasive Action (jet/old airplane combat simulator)

-A submarine combat game that I can't remember the name to. (you had to make repairs and seal off different compartments from flood, fire your guns, reload, launch strike craft from an allied carrier ship, control the ship, .. and prob some other stuff I can't remember)

-Battlechest

I can't think of any others.. I know there are more.

Anyone ever play the Sierra Robin Hood adventure game Conquest of the Longbow? I really enjoyed that game and have been playing it on dosbox again lately.

i actually hated dos games, not so much the games themselves but the audio in many of them sucked. nintendo had better tunes. i was more into Amiga games which were way cooler imo at that time era so my fav list is rather short.

1. adventure of willy beamish (cd version was better but was best dos game i played)

DoomI/II
Command and Conquer
Syndicate
Privateer
X-Com
Duke 3D
Betrayal at Krondor
Crusader: No Remorse

And I can't believe Blackthorne and Quarantine weren't mentioned. For shame!
