My previous DOS compilation is about to reach 300K views, which is a lot for my channel! Here's another compilation to celebrate this occasion. Thanks a lot to everyone for viewing and commenting :)
The previous video was missing a bunch of important and interesting games as pointed out in the comments. I included many of the games mentioned in addition to games I personally think should've been in the first video if it was possible. My apologies if your favorite game is still missing from the list, there are a lot more than 200 games released for DOS!
Focus is again on the technically supreme twilight years of DOS gaming before development for DOS was abandoned. 90's is the most relevant decade for shaping the future of computer games. Most PC games released before were just not that good even at the time, when compared to releases for other systems such as C64 and NES. But there are some 80's RPGs worth mentioning in addition to early Sierra adventures and I'm not saying every game featured in this video is still worth playing either.
The music:
Doom 2 - The Waste Tunnels (SGM-V2.01 soundfont recording - end trimmed)
Warcraft: Orcs & Humans - Human 1 (SGM-V2.01 soundfont recording - end trimmed)
Dune - Morning (Adlib gold recording). Thanks to original grabber!
Few mistakes with game titles: 02:20 Imperium Galactica release year is 1997 not 1994 (thanks to Alianger for pointing it out). 02:26 the game is Alien Legacy and not Alien Logic, both released in 1994. Missing release year for Quest for Glory 3 is 1992.

![Dune II - Harkonnen mission 8 speedrun 31:09 (PC DOS) [Obsolete]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XSewR1fMIK0/mqdefault.jpg "Dune II - Harkonnen mission 8 speedrun 31:09 (PC DOS) [Obsolete]
I decided to retry Harkonnen mission 8. My old video was probably the worst played mission of the campaign. Previous time was improved by over 7 minutes and no saves were used during the mission. This video demonstrates the repair facility strategy pointed out to me earlier and not used on my previous videos. By blocking access to repair facility Carryalls come to pick up repaired units and return those to battlefield.
Best strategy I found for this mission is to maneuver behind Atreides base from the left, where its least fortified. Taking out structures from behind, deploying an MCV, second repair facility and second heavy factory near the Ordos base before final assault. Different houses begin assaulting only after discovered by player units. This is why its necessary to be careful not to scout near the Ordos base until Atreides has been disabled. This mission is rather difficult to finish fast, because Construction Yards are at hard to reach locations and enemy keeps rebuilding turrets and buildings. Sniping CYs with missiles or figuring out a better strategy would probably allow time save. Got extremely unlucky with missile accuracy as well in this play.")
