Originally I had (what I felt was) a more appropriate song in the introduction, but CZcams copyright bots caught an OPL3 rendition of a hit song anyway, so I couldn't use it. See the original version here: czcams.com/video/1-Fkg75b9l4/video.html
Show over half an hour of copyrighted content. CZcams: "This is fine! Fair use!" Use three seconds of copyrighted music. CZcams: "HOW DARE YOU! STRIKE!"
What is that, some MIDI rendition of the First Samurai theme? Sounds almost like the Amiga version, but not quite. Especially the snare is different, so I guess it's not the original tracked tune?

Great to see another one of these, this style of video is how I found this channel many years ago. Fun to see Liero at the end, I didn't realize that was '98. We played that so much in my high school computer tech class in 2000/2001, haha.
Liero was a product of blooming Finnish indie game scene of mid-90s, there were plenty of other gems as well (Wings, Threat, Slicks'n'Slide, Triplane Turmoil), some even the same style (Molez), not sure why Liero specifically became such hit interntationally.
Very nice. I remember playing Liero with friends and that one kept us untertained for at least a couple of years for a quick hot seat multiplayer round here and there. Interesting to see all the other DOS games from that year, thanks! Remind me to fire up my Cyrix again :-)
Great look at DOS games in '98. Have to admit I wasn't able to play as much around this time as I was focused on my formal education and career - so great to look back at some of these games that I didn't get into!
surprisingly there were still some dos games around even in 1999 - Airline Simulator 2, and i think some Football Masters games - and also Battlecruiser 3000ad continued to be a dos game in all its versions up to version 2.09 in the late 90s i have found there were dos games still out in the 97-99 period that however were sold as being for windows 95/98, and even the box requirements might state this but then when you go to install it would be a dos installation. - 442 Soccer and Battlecruiser 3000ad version 2.08 did this There also was Prost Grand Prix , which is a nice F1 racing simulation, not as agood as Microprose GP2 but not too bad
never realized how perfect that Hard Disk Cafe song from LSL5 fits for an outro, it's so sweet and tugs further on that nostalgia, what a delightful choice
I was born in 1982. I played all the games I could growing up, but the only game I have heard of and played on this list is Redneck Rampage and Liero. The rest were complete news to me. Strange... I live in Sweden by the way.
You have no idea HOW LONG I have looked for Queen eYe. I played it as a demo. Out of 8 games I played as a child that left deep impression, THIS is the onest I had hardest time to find, now only 4-5 more left to go and I can die happy. THANK YOU

Man, I love 1998 when it comes to gaming but yeah, DOS gaming certainly wasn't at the top there anymore. Thank you for this collection of games. The worst game in this collection is Extreme Paintbrawl, no question about that. For best it's more difficult, I guess The Great Giana Sisters. Also respect that Gronkh is one of your patrons (if it is him), he is arguably the biggest LPer here in Germany.
Wow, Wrecking Race is beautiful, really nice aesthetic, very colorful, dense map detail, nice palette. I've never seen ganja farmer, but Paratrooper was one of my favorite old 8bit CGA games.
Dear Anatoly, thank you so much for this and your previous videos! I had so many quality moments just enjoying these. Here's a question: if you made a 1998 video, do you have one for 1996 and 1997? I looked and didn't find. If not done yet, are they planned?
Acid Tetr...er, "Super Acid Block Attack", ate plenty of my time, along with Jump n' Bump. Forgot all about Stix World and Chub Gam until now. Thanks for this!
Lovin' that intro with you in person, nicely done. Also lovin' the way you announce the games with that DOS font/UI, excellently done! Not to mention that nostalgic intro 'Anatoly remembers' straight from the 'Accolade' intro that I remember it from the very old Grand Prix DOS game. Perhaps you can add audio to it similar to Accolade intro, but of course as unique work. Oh man that'd make it complete! Anyway another subscriber for you!
The game with Spanish dialog in it had the most hilarious animation for the soldiers walking. They kind of sashay their hips back and forth as they mince towards you.
If you mean "The Varginha Project", that's Portuguese. Varginha is a city in Brazil, where legend has it aliens were sighted. I haven't played the game myself but I'm sure that's what the story's about!
i remember mid 90s fixing my audio creative card on dos, off course i forgot all that shit although i still have a copy of Lords of the Realm 1& cannon fodder.
I loved Burnout: Drag Racing when I first played it, due to the depth of car customisation. I don't think I've ever found another car game that seemed to give such an enjoyable level of engine tuning, testing, and tweaking.
I don't think I've played any of these games, as I was onto Windows by 98'. It is a sad state of affairs that Bethesda games were more innovative in 1998 than they are today.
The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard. A great game of '98 that nobody played, BECAUSE it was MS DOS only! It did had a support for 3Dfx Voodoo, though...
I don't think that was that big of a factor, especially since Windows 95/98 ran DOS games just fine. You needed Windows to install this game in the first place. Also Windows was required if you wanted to run the 3Dfx version.
Resguard was a 32-bit DOS game tested to Run under Windows, as Windows 95/98 provide native support for DOS games with bridged virtual DOS drivers for certain hardware. DOS Glide games can run under native DOS, since the DOS Extender provide a protected mode environment when Windows are not present. (It was part of DPMI standard, as Windows 95 has the quintessential DPMI server). Otherwise Redguard would not run under DosBox.
Late nineties we’re a lost time for me. My pc (given to me) packed up in 1995 and I didn’t get another one (a Mac) until the early 2000s so I missed out quite a few years
Some of this is really nostalgic. I remember thinking Gunmetal looked so awesome seeing it in retail stores, but we never did pick it up. We did get NAM, because my brother was a fan of BUILD engine in general. What a crap game. The Varginha Incident I only know about because of Civvie11, of course. Really ambitious game for the time, but the developers' ambitions outstripped their ability. Bethesda's Burnout game was pretty cool. A successor to X-CAR, it ran on the same engine as that game and as Daggerfall, Skynet, and others. Chub Gam 3-D looks so bizarre I'm tempted to call it outsider media. lol. But Liero is legendary.
I played Acid Tetris a lot back then, it came in a Brazilian shovelware magazine called "Revista do CD-ROM" (CD-ROM's Magazine). Watching your showcase, I suspect the soundtrack was not properly recorded for some reason, though (looks like only one channel was recorded).
Just extracted the game's music (turned out to be in the UNI tracker format) and checked. Everything was recorded correctly. It's a match. There just wasn't that flute-like solo in the part of the song in the clip I've chosen for this video.
4:57 Sint Nicolaas i plaued it 😂great to see a real dutch tradition here. Altough some people in The Netherlands try to destroy this centenial old tradition. Sinterklaas en zwarte piet altijd welkom bij ons thuis.
3dfx DOS support via Glide was the last lifeboat that extended DOS gaming as mainstream for a little longer. Still DOS Glide games are 32-bit DOS programs that require DOS Extenders
A question for you - when you do your streaming videos where you launch many games from a "Midnight Commander" type of file manager, how is it you have so many games directories in there if MS-DOS has a 2GB limit on partition sizes? There seem to be far more games in there than would fill 2GB.

@@starnamedstork It's the OPL2 fm synth rendition from the DOS port.
Ahhh, the Varginha Incident.. the pinnacle of Brazilian game industry
It reminds me of Corridor 7.
a trilha sonora é muito boa.
Yes

The Redneck Rampage games weren't that great but damn I love the level design in most of it.
Why does everyone say that.
Their use of the unenhanced (Blood, Shadow Warrior) Build Engine, unique. E.g., road bumps, second episode.
@@Skyrilla bc ppl are sheep
@@Widerspruchsfreiheit What video games used enhanced built engine?
The torrnado in the trailerpark. Loved it.
Please make more, I love these videos so much!
Very nice. I remember playing Liero with friends and that one kept us untertained for at least a couple of years for a quick hot seat multiplayer round here and there. Interesting to see all the other DOS games from that year, thanks! Remind me to fire up my Cyrix again :-)
Can we just acknowledge how great Thief is though, like to this day it's still a fantastic game and definitely deserves a playthrough.
One of my favorite games of all time!
what an amazing video i was born in the 90s and this kind of games were my first introduction to pc, very nostalgic i love the graphic style

My most hated subset of retail DOS games is DOS games wrapped in Windows-only installers. Ran into those a few times.
at last, you’re back! can’t tell how I love these videos of yours!
Same here!
never realized how perfect that Hard Disk Cafe song from LSL5 fits for an outro, it's so sweet and tugs further on that nostalgia, what a delightful choice
I've only played Bubble Bobble, Popcorn, North vs South and Star Control. And these were great games especially Star Control!

Imagine you're from 1998 and wonder what video games 20 years later will look like and see the Minecraft graphics....
So awesome to see another one of these!
There are a few titles that I never heard of before. Great list!
Wow, Wrecking Race is beautiful, really nice aesthetic, very colorful, dense map detail, nice palette.
I've never seen ganja farmer, but Paratrooper was one of my favorite old 8bit CGA games.
Yup
Yeah, but it is a really hard game.
@@tidzej5400 Paratrooper or Wrecking Race?
@@spladam3845 Wreckin Crew ;) Controls are overreactive for example.
That ganja farmer game...classic.
29:26 Not gonna lie, for a 1998 DOS game this lip sync and facial animation is pretty good
Facial animations are actually motion captured. Lots of effort went into making assets for this frankly terrible game.
So much fun was had playing Liero against a friend.
Dear Anatoly, thank you so much for this and your previous videos! I had so many quality moments just enjoying these.
Here's a question: if you made a 1998 video, do you have one for 1996 and 1997? I looked and didn't find. If not done yet, are they planned?
No, these videos don't exist yet. Yes, I have them planned, and have lists of games written. Not sure when, but some day.
Stix World looks amazing!
Dude so cool you are continuing this series!! :)
Always happy to see a new DOS nostalgia video!
Really dug a couple of the games near the end that i never heard of before. Tao and Queen are ones i'm going to have to check out sometime.
Redneck Rampage was the only game I even tried to play from your list.
Cant wait for 1996 and 1997
Acid Tetr...er, "Super Acid Block Attack", ate plenty of my time, along with Jump n' Bump. Forgot all about Stix World and Chub Gam until now. Thanks for this!
Liero is a masterpiece. It's like live action Worms
What a year...
I immediately recognized Sint Nicolaas art style as that from Charlie the Duck
Oh, old good times!
Never heard of a bunch of these, particularly Ganja Farmer. What a concept, haha!

Tie Break Tennis looks really well done for its time
Great video once again. That Acid Tetris had pretty neat and relaxing music.
I used to play Jump 'n bump so much!!! Amazing game with 4 people. Used a flight stick as one of the controllers 😄
.. First minute of watching I get tears In my eyes 😢.. this makes me emotional 😮
This video is a great example of how it was back then.
The game with Spanish dialog in it had the most hilarious animation for the soldiers walking. They kind of sashay their hips back and forth as they mince towards you.
If you mean "The Varginha Project", that's Portuguese. Varginha is a city in Brazil, where legend has it aliens were sighted. I haven't played the game myself but I'm sure that's what the story's about!
Red neck rampage was freaky as Friday
Lol
no one days gaming history, instant sub
"Double agent" seems a cool remake of Spy vs Spy games!
LOL when you died in 3D Hunting: Grizzly. thats an existential nightmare. wonderful.
i remember mid 90s fixing my audio creative card on dos, off course i forgot all that shit although i still have a copy of Lords of the Realm 1& cannon fodder.
Finally, thanx Anatoly, i waited for so long for this video. But wait, did i miss something? There are no 1996 and 1997 videos, are they?
There aren't. Yet.
Do show more about programming with SVGA and DOS extender, the holy grail of DOS game programming..
SVGA VESA VBE >3.0 and DOS4GW...
Ah, a treat for true connoisseurs!
I love going down memory lane. Makes me feel nostalgic
Thank you. Very interesting video. I also gonna probably watch Goldrush with Alyssa Milano and Bruce Campbell.
Came to the comments just for the name 😂
Good to know it was at least the two actors I thought I recognized.
Is it worth the watch ?
Does that status bar face in "Mr. Pibb" look SBAHJ-ish to anyone else or is that just me?
Ah, my friend. Thank you for the content.
Didn't know more games than I thought! 😮
From all of these I've only played Leiro but that game is an absolute blast even today :D
That soundtrack on Extreme Paintball though!
Boovie looks like a cute Boulderdash rip... hell I'd play this now, someone port it somewhere!
Redneck Rampage 100%
Good memories!! Thank you!!
boovie looks like such a cute lil underrated puzzle gem
Liero! thank you for this video \o7
if the amiga was around , could of been totally different, it was a beast of a computer

Closest worlds be gran Turismo, or street rod. But you only do the inside though
Nice. I remember buying an action pack that contained Redneck Rampage, Heretic, SiN and a forth game I can't remember.
I don't think I've played any of these games, as I was onto Windows by 98'. It is a sad state of affairs that Bethesda games were more innovative in 1998 than they are today.
Played mosted of them. Such nostalgia!

For me 1998 was Half-Life all day.
These games look beautiful!!
DOS...subbed!
lots of fun games here,tho by 1998 windows really showed with games like half life that it was a better platform to make games on than ms dos
These all look straight up like some obscure ps1 games

Miss the fun and adventure 2d platforms gave
I think 96 was probably the swan song for dos gaming, once windows 95/directx adoption picked up dos releases slowed to a trickle
97 still has a large amount of notable DOS or combined DOS/Win releases.
3dfx DOS support via Glide was the last lifeboat that extended DOS gaming as mainstream for a little longer.
Still DOS Glide games are 32-bit DOS programs that require DOS Extenders
acid tetris brings back some memories
Спасибо, интересный список!
double agent is clone of Spy v.s Spy
Some of these game would have been pretty neat if they were released a few years earlier.
