Play World Games on Msdos Online

Game Overview

World Games on MS-DOS is one of those weird, wonderful sports compilations that could only exist in the late '80s. You pick an athlete—I always went for the cowboy, no idea why—and then flail your way through events like log rolling or sumo wrestling with that classic DOS-era jank. The physics are ridiculous in the best way; one minute you're gracefully vaulting over barrels, the next you're face-first in the dirt because you mistimed a jump by half a second.

It's surprisingly hard to put down once you get the hang of it. The events are short, so you keep telling yourself "just one more round," and suddenly an hour's gone by. The pixel art has this goofy charm, especially when your character dramatically wipes out. If you've got DOSBox handy, it's a perfect little nostalgia bomb for when you want something simple but weirdly competitive.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
