DOS (/dɒs/, /dɔːs/) is a platform-independent acronym for Disk Operating System which later became a common shorthand for disk-based operating systems on IBM PC compatibles. DOS primarily consists of Microsoft's MS-DOS and a rebranded IBM version under the name PC DOS, both of which were introduced in 1981. Later compatible systems from other manufacturers are DR DOS (1988), ROM-DOS (1989), PTS-DOS (1993), and FreeDOS (1998). MS-DOS dominated the IBM PC compatible market between 1981 and 1995.

Amiga

N/A

The Amiga is a family of personal computers sold by Commodore in the 1980s and 1990s. Based on the Motorola 68000 family of microprocessors, the machine has a custom chipset with graphics and sound capabilities that were unprecedented for the price, and a pre-emptive multitasking operating system called AmigaOS. The Amiga provided a significant upgrade from earlier 8-bit home computers, including Commodore's own C64. It had many games that were graphically superior to competitors and the sound cards allowed for much richer music than previously.

Available for purchase

Available to buy in one form or another, usually through a digital store front. What platforms they offer them on varies, but most popular consoles and platforms have one or more stores where one can choose to buy them. Depending on the store, some games have Digital Rights Management (DRM), which require user to use and/or have an account to play.

If making an artificial intelligence with knowledge from the future sounds like a good idea, Baron Fortesque wants a word. With these precise presumptions he made The Chaos Engine. However the thing quickly rebelled against its creator, consumed his mind and turned Britannia into a desolate war zone of robots in the process. Six mercenaries sign up for the task, The Thug, Preacher, Mercenary, The Gentleman, Navvie and the Brigand. Each feature vastly different weapons and stats, which you can level up after each world.

There are in total four of them, with four levels in each totalling 16. The game always plays with two players, with the option to play with a friend or the CPU. To save frustration, there's also a handy password system that lets you start on the world you last played.
