I'm happy to announce that me and a few buddies from Ludum Dare started a new thing recently, called:
DOS Game Club (https://www.dosgameclub.com)
It's like a book club, but instead of reading the same book, members of the club play the same DOS game. We're playing one game per month and started in March by playing Doom (currently for April we're playing Grand Prix Circuit and in May we'll be playing SimCity 2000).
During the month we talk about the game on our forums or over on #dosgameclub on irc.afternet.org. We also try to do multiplayer sessions, compare scores, or whatever makes sense in the game we're playing that particular month to get together and see how we're all doing.
At the end of the month we record a roundtable discussion podcast with a few of the members, to wrap up our thoughts on the game we've been playing. The first podcast (about Doom) is available now.
The games we play are suggested by the community. We'll try to alternate between well-known blockbusters and more obscure hidden gems. Anything that is suggested will be considered, the only requirement is that the game is available for DOS. We are after all, the DOS Game Club!
So, if you are interested in DOS games and want to share your experiences, you're more than welcome to join!
