A look at 100 very obscure PC/MS-DOS games from the 90s; specifically, the games in this video were all released in 1992. If you played any of these, then hats off to you for being a PC superfan! Chunky VGA/CGA graphics, and Adlib sound OR PC speaker bloops and blips everywhere!

This video focuses mostly on "professional" games; mostly avoiding shareware/freeware/homebrew titles, in favor of titles that were sold boxed in stores.

Note that many of these games *weren't* obscure on other platforms, like the Amiga/Atari ST or other home computer formats that were popular in Europe. However, if you were strictly an MS-DOS/PC user (and didn't live in Europe) - most of these titles would have remained pretty obscure!

Also, this video goes out of the way to include every possible licensed title. Most gamers tended to avoid licensed titles like the plague, and it's interesting now in retrospect to see what they were missing. Additionally, many of the licensed titles were different across formats - so if you did play one of these on the console (e.g. Hook), you may find a very different version on the PC...

Enjoy!
