Classic MS-DOS Games from 1993

1993 was the year DOOM arrived and nothing was ever the same again. id Software's masterpiece became a cultural phenomenon, popularising networked multiplayer deathmatch and defining the first-person shooter for years to come. LucasArts responded with Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max Hit the Road — two of the wittiest, most inventive adventure games ever written. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers brought mature storytelling to the genre. Master of Orion codified 4X strategy. The 7th Guest pushed CD-ROM multimedia. 1993 remains the gold standard year for MS-DOS gaming.
