When computer games means mainly Doom or Quake types of games, then the old DOS games will not have any market, this is for sure. But sometimes few old DOS games deserves more attention.
One of such game is Hidden Agenda. This game was made by Jim Gasperini. It is a political simulation.
You start as a newly appointed president of Chimerica (imaginary country in North America). You are the first president after a ruthless dictator is removed through a revolution.
The game simulates a very real world. You get the taste of being a president. How it feels when you are under pressure from so many corners. How tough it is to convert your ideals into reality. Most of the times how it is impossible to do what you want.
A small games teaches more than I imagined. A whole semester in university learning dull political science would teach me a lot less. Atleast I think so.
This game gave me a feelings that, computer games have much more potential than what it displays today.
