DOS Games with high system requirements

[Zing]

I paid $300 for an 8MB DIMM (bringing me to 16MB) strictly so I could get the full animation set in Primal Rage. Ridiculous!

[Jorpho]

Yes, especially for Primal Rage.

My vote goes to Quake 2 or Unreal.

My vote goes to Quake 2 or Unreal.

Neither of which ran on DOS in their retail builds.

strange. I strongly remember running these from dos, but you're right! The human memory is a weird thing.

Then my vote would be for quake. Either that or the 11th hour. I don't remember if that game had high system requirements or was just plain weird, but I could never get that thing running properly on my 4x cd-rom.

They both did support software graphics modes though, so that may be why you thought they had Dos modes possibly?

try screamer rally. You need a p2 at least and a high end vga card to run 640x480 software mode. There was a voodoo2 patch for the best experience.
