Pre-Windows times. No (real) graphical interface, you had to type in all the commands.
Good times :3
Wikipedia entry. You'll probably recognise it from the screenshots.

Or do you mean what the abbreviation means? Disk Operating System.

And it's ****ing horrible. Even worse than Windows!
 
Just get dos box.

I remember about a year ago I got the sudden urge to play, so I downloaded it. (it's free now)
Not as much fun when you don't have a crowd of classmates to play with, but still a ton of fun.

Dungeon Keeper? Well, I guess we can't consider win95 & 98 real OS  :lol:
Dungeon Keeper was DOS. DKII was 98.
Released by Electronic Arts in July 1997. Win95 was like a skin on DOS, so yes :razz:

Dune 2, played it like 12 times.
I forgot Ultima Underworld, 1st person RPG in 3D Doom style, but a year before Doom! There was even 3 items in true 3D  :shock: I remember sometimes there was a small error when loading a game or changing the level, too many data for that age  :lol:
 
Work started on DK1 in 1994, in fact it was first previewed in 1995 :razz:  Dungeon Keeper 1 was native to DOS, if you tried running it under 95/98 it opened in a shell prompt. It's not till DK II that it moved to being a Windows native program, and that's largely down to it using DirectX.

The Windows 95 kernel ran on top of the DOS kernel in the same way as Windows 3.1. It was NT which replaced DOS with a true 32 bit kernel, but most games didn't support it until Windows 2000.
