You can't.

So post platforms similar to this but with an actually good library.
>>
Super Mario Bros. 2
>>
Dungeon Keeper is pretty good.
Duke Nukem 3D also

DOS games got pretty good around the mid 90's, post-DOOM, really. It was only the 80s where it was just terrible arcade conversions and D&D for people so autistic they don't even have friends to play D&D with.

Amiga, though saying that DOS has no decent games is clearly trolling, DOS has great games and I agree with>>3307457, the best stuff came around early middle-middle 90's.

Heh, spot on, the games are still enjoyable though.

wait, what? The fact that DOS games have been ported to other platforms means these games weren't good?

>you'd just be better playing it on the Amiga
that's a very different statement from
>can probably just be played on the Amiga
You can certainly play them on the Amiga, but there's no reason to

>all those .BAS files

Yay I had a floppy with all those on as a kid - I used to run them on GW-BASIC. Cheesy as hell. ART was just constant random rectangles with some rubbish sounds. MUSIC was alright - a library of classical tunes with an ASCII animated keyboard. SPACE was just some stupid UFO bobbing about the screen with annoying high-pitched sounds. I used to like "hacking" the code to make them fuck up.

For reference IIRC

>>3307404
This is PC-DOS

>>3307490
This is DOS/V

This started out as some weird double-bait thread but I approve of the discussion

I was literally just playing pic related. Got the directories right and got it to run under 98se but didn't get sound before my kid woke up from his nap. 90s arcade games need their sound.

It's not. Not every Japanese version of MS-DOS is DOS/V. DOS/V is a specific implementation of Japanese characters in IBM/DOS.
He's MS-DOS running on the FM Towns.
