Small DOS Games

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for small DOS compatible games? I am making a DOS-C boot floppy and am including some games with it for my 486 computer. These games have to be less than 100KB. Thank you for your replies.

I also recommend:

Space Commander - smallest DOS game I know - 15K or so.

Elite - if Alleycat gets the award for most playability per kilobyte, Elite definitely gets the award for most data per kilobyte. The original CGA game stores the entire game engine and 8 (or 9) galaxies, each with hundreds of planets, and stuff like population, government and market prices for each planet, plus a bunch of special missions, in 74K!

The Elite Plus version which provides Adlib sound and VGA graphics is 200-400K or so.

Holy shit, that's gotta be created in real time.

The oldest snake game I know is the snake that has to eat apples to get bigger and you died if you hit your tail or a wall. I was king of that game when I was in grade 2. I think it was Dragon Smog or something...
