Hello, my name is Hector and Im heavily interested in DOS games from the past.
However, the question is... Can those games be developed in modern Windows versions (7,8,10)? If so, what are the requirements, because there's some videos on YouTube teaching us how to code on Batch, but I don't think it is simply as that.
Dosbox for dos
Install win 3.1 inside it for 3.1 games
Boom, done.
Yes
nice bait? srsly coding a game in Batch wont happen, no matter how hard you try...
but of course you can code old-school games for modern operating systems.
i would suggest you to stay away from programming and try some frameworks/editors to create simple games.
on of the popular tools is RPGMaker2000, easy to start with and has a lot of examples all over the web.

Is this bait?

The easiest way to get started is to use a library like Allegro and DJGPP set up in a virtual environment like DOSbox or Pre-Vista Windows in Virtualbox. Although if you want your game to run on really, really old shit (pre-pentium II era) you are going to want to ditch libraries and code directly on the hardware.

>Can those games be developed in modern Windows versions (7,8,10)?
You can write the game in Microsoft's Quick Basic language and compile it in the modern fan-made version of Quick Basic, QB64. It's not exactly DOS, but the game will be DOS-like.

lol not shitty enough m8, saw that shit video on youtube where the balding 40 year old also living in the past unironically recommended buying 3 old laptops from each "era" of dos game. "it just doesn't feeeeeeeel the same" is the perfect blend of technology and hippie feelings nonsense to add the same utterly conformist psuedo-flare to that same anti-emulator non-conformism

The maker of Retro City Rampage made a DOS version and NES version just because
Here's a vid explaining the NES development

I can't find any making-of video for the DOS version
