It's a bit of a standard "should have played on Dos" list. Only played 8 of them and only finished two (UW and Rebel Assault 2). Good luck in getting a good price for them 😀

Overrated and terrible? To say this on a DOS gaming forum you must be a troll. That'd be like going into a school of the arts and saying that the Pier Gynt Suite was repetative or that importance of Kurosawa's "The Seventh Samurai" was overblown.

There's more to say but it gets rude so I won't...

Actually, there are some decent games on the list. Examples are Ultima Underworld, Heavy Gear, and of course, Populous: The Beginning.

I'm agree that Doom 1 is repetitive, and so is Doom 2. The reason I played Doom back then was more because the game was the first 3D shooter --a technological breakthrough. But gameplay-wise, I'd rather play Master of Magic, System Shock, Gunship 2000, Ultima Underworld, and Railroad Tycoon Deluxe.

Hexen is nothing but Doom-clone, and the expansion pack (Deathkings of the Dark Citadel) doesn't add anything new either. Hexen 2 is much better in graphic department, but it's basically the same shooter.

Tomb Raider 3 is not as good as its predecessors.

Rebel Assault 2 has stunning graphic, but it's basically nothing but glorified rail shooter --even worse than first-person shooter IMO.

However, the rest of them are more than decent games. Ultima Underworld is a legend, and I don't mind playing the game again. Populous: The Beginning is an addictive game --more even addictive than Hexen 2. Heavy Gear is a very solid "sequel" to Mechwarrior 2.

So frankly, I don't understand why you call those games "overrated" while calling Doom 2 --a game that became very old when Quake was out-- "decent".

Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....
