finally doing it.

@oblomov yeh

@eniko Transport Tycoon - I still play it's open source counterpart OpenTTD

@eniko Castles from 1991. Fantastic title. https://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/castles/

@ck0 @eniko
Speaking of puzzles, I would also mention Supaplex. That game and its fan levels are so good.

@eniko Jill of the jungle.

@eniko Alone in the Dark.

... Wait, you said chill games, not games that give you chills, sorry.

Crystal Pixels is originally a DOS game/simulation, and aside from the rather unusual controls it's pretty chill. Jones in the Fast Lane is turn based and there's a one player mode where you can try to make progress at your own pace. Animal Quest is rather simple, but you get to learn a few things about animals along the way.

@eniko Jazz Jackrabbit, espeically the Christmas specials if you can find 'em (I think '95 and '96?)

Also I still have a soft spot for Hocus Pocus

@eniko I will probably think of others later but Pizza Worm is kind of cute.

@mahadevank @eniko really hard to go back to playing TT in a world where OpenTTD exists, tho

@eniko i'd say Toonstruck but i am honestly not sure if that's a DOS or Win32 game?

edit: yeah, it's DOS. Should run fine in Dosbox too

@eniko Hubie by Serendipity Software is so unknown for how solid of a game it is.

@eniko For somewhat chill games I can try to think of a few.

Commander Keen series
Discworld 1 & 2
Jazz Jackrabbit
Hocus Pocus
H2O
Princess Maker 2
Lemmings series
Lode Runner Online (the one by Sierra Online)
Redneck Rampage (really really dumb Build engine game)
One Must Fall 2097
Rise of the Triad
Return to Zork
The Incredible Machine series (inc. Toon)
King's Quest & Quest for Glory series
Terminal Velocity
Tyrian 2000
Witch Haven
Wacky Wheels

Here's something you might find interesting: ZZT, SuperZZT, and, best of all, MegaZeux. They use an OOP language and people have done crazy stuff with them. They each come with a base game.

I'd like to recommend Dungeon Keeper, but you're better off with KeeperFX now.

Perhaps Daggerfall too? Though Daggerfall Unity is nicer now.
