Ever get a DOSiefeel?

Whenever I'm playing Zelda 1, I feel like I'm playing a DOS game. I guess it's cuz I'm playing a game that's childishly simple, yet totally unforgetable. Like the ol' Jazz Jackrabbit.

No, but I have played Zelda Classic (an enhanced modifieable fanmade remake of the original Zelda) on DOS before.

How can you not know? It's short for MS-DOS, Microsoft Disk Operating System, their first (and arguably best) OS. Not only does it have the best games, but it's also rock-solid, and instead of a confusing, abstract GUI, it has a simple, easy to use command line interface! It's awesome!

Actually, LoZ is probably one of the only NES games that doesn't feel stupidly cheap/DOS-like. Super Mario Brothers feels like a computer game, though.

Wow, I didn't know it was possible to NOT know what DOS is.

98% of Zelda fans think Twilight Princess is the best thing to happen to the series ever. If you're one of the 2% who think TP is overrated, copy and paste this in your sig.

Me neither. LoZ doesn't feel as much like a DOS game as SMB. I wouldn't call it stupidly easy, either. Simplistic, yes, but was one of the harder NES games I had.

lol DOS. Windows 3.1 had 6 buttons which comprised the entire set of options. One of them led to DOS. It was old school, I liked it. I never thought about DOS whenever I played LOZ, but good call.

Yeah, SMB3 on an emulator really feels DOS.
