DOS Games List

[ View Trivia ] [ View all Platforms ]

MS-DOS was a computer operating system by Microsoft Corporation. It was first released in 1981 in IBM PCs as PC DOS, but was soon licensed to IBM clone manufacturers as MS-DOS. The last retail release was version 6.2.2 in 1994, but the system was still under development as underlying part of the Windows platform until Windows ME in 2000. Because of the dominance of MS-DOS and IBM PC compatible hardware, it became the most widespread PC gaming platform until Microsoft's own Windows became the new dominant PC platform.

During the time where DOS and Windows co-existed, there were often DOS games that were released with Windows launchers and/or installers which would then still run the game through DOS. Those games do not get the Windows platform listed but instead use this attribute to denote their Windows compatibility. Re-releases of DOS games that are packaged with a DOS emulator such as DOSBox, but whose means of installation would make it impossible to actually install the game in DOS, do not receive the DOS platform.

There are 8,210 video games on DOS. They were released between the years 1981 and 2024. 38,450 people from 3,772 developers and publishers are credited with these titles!

There are 223 DOS games released in the year 1986.
