I've been playing this at the suggestion of the TMNT thread, and it's pretty good. Its a standalone story that merges elements from the Mirage comics and the 87 series. It plays similar to Prince of Persia. The only problem is the control scheme, which takes a bit to get used to. There are two action keys which when held down modify what the numpad keys do. When both keys are pressed simultaneously, the game switches between walk mode and fight mode (they default to space and enter, which means you should probably rebind those in Dosbox). Protip: to go up and down ladders and in and out of doors, in walk mode, hold the enter key then press up or down. Game comes 7zipped in pic related.

I really like crt.d3d. Some games don't work with it because it requires you to be in Direct3D, and I think it requires a branch of dos, but it looks great and really fixes the geometry problems. All the pictures I posted are crt.d3d.

This thread has links to anything you'll need, and also has comparison screenshots of the various D3D filters. I suggest CRT.D3D.fx because I feel it captures the proper colors where as other filters tone down the colors.

PCs didn't have any market reason to have graphics acceleration or quality sound of any kind until Doom kicked everyone in the dick thanks to Carmack's sheer autism of being able to make the game run smoothly. He also made a working prototype of SMB3 for PC with smooth scrolling which Nintendo promptly ignored because of course they won't let roundeyes get their barbarian hands on their beloved franchise. It's not because "hurrr DOS devs were just lazy and made shitty PC games."

It usually goes like this:
1- Completing an area directly or indirectly involves rescuing a damsel in distress. Sometimes a scientist glasses lady, sometimes a college student, etc.
2- After clearing the area the girl gives you her number.
3- Since then, whenever you want to, you can call her to meet in a love hotel.
4- The sex scenes feature a static image in visual novel style (blinking eyes and moving lips). In it you get to choose what to use (check-her-out/speak dirty/touch/kiss) on her body. Some girls like her ears to be biten, some girls prefer a lot of dirty talk before even touching, etc). After that you get a lewder pic and you unlock more "items" (some of them you need to get at special stores). If you do something the girl doesn't like, you keep losing HP until she leaves. Otherwise, if you turn her one you get to another pic and you get the option to put it in. You get 1 additional HP every time you (try to) get laid, regardless of the outcome. If you suck too much you can hire prostitutes who will be satisfied regardless of your performance.
5- There's a lot of text, very graphical. Oh, and there's some sound too. Kinda kitsch but whatever.
I like how you don't have sex in dangerous places, sex feels instead more of a Tinder than a "let me reward you with sex for saving me from getting raped".

Fury of the Furries is breddy gud. Really bouncy and inertia-driven physics in a platformer, but for a game mostly designed around it, the game plays well enough. Difficulty curve is all over the place, though. Some bullshit levels here and there, and gets pretty tough by the end.

That game has some of the jankiest platforming I have ever touched. Particularly when there are gimmicks like ice or wind. Bouncing on moving enemies wasn't particularly forgiving either, but that occasionally led to some cool secrets or skipping very large parts of levels.
Still okay.
