Default DOS Screenshot Challenge

Gentlemen.

A lot of these I didn't play, but I could guess based on the tittle... 29/50 :/

And a Genesis one:

32/50

24/50 on the DOS games, which is funny because I never really played any games on DOS. Most I knew as NES ports.

29/50 on the Genesis one, but I never played a Genesis. Lots were simple to guess due to characters.

LoL #### I never finished the Gensis one... for some reason I thought it ended at 16 cause I saw the tweet your score.. well now this isn't fair cause I know what the first 16 are..

36/50 on the Genesis.. but I would say 4 of those are tainted as I didn't know them the first time but did the second time.. so 32/50.

I'd love to see a SNES one now..

I only managed a 28/50. I never played a ton of DOS games but the ones that stand out for me are Duke Nukem 1-3, Descent and Silpheed. This reminds me that I should grab Descent off GOG.

Some superb taste in selecting those screenshots...Comanche, Life & Death, Stunts, Red Baron, the first Dune (not Dune II, which was an RTS), Kroz, etc.

31/50 on Genesis one. Didn't have one, but several multi-platform games.
Some guessed correctly from some subliminal hunch.

36/50. I approve of the question forcing you to differentiate between Wing Commander 1 and Wing Commander 2.

41/50 for DOS games.

35/50 for Genesis. I guessed on half of them and did surprisingly well.

46/50 on DOS!!! I missed all the dumb sports games like Football, etc.

It doesn't hurt that I still play DOSBox literally once a week. I play DOS games more than my PS3.

I am in a cramped condo and I'm still seriously debating setting up my last CRT in a corner and making a permanent DOS machine. That's how crazy I am about DOS! DOS just doesn't look right on LCDs.

34/50 on DOS.
19/50 on SEGA.

Definitely wasn't a console gamer, so I'm not surprised.

They aged wonderfully. Better than Aliens: Colonial Marines with bad animations and blurry textures.
