Yeah, I saw that earlier. And no, if you think about it, it's not necessarily a troll. Windows XP came out in what, 2002? And it didn't include any way to access the DOS shell without bending over backwards and jumping through a flaming hoop while muttering an incantation in Sanskrit. It's not too hard to believe that kids who are now posting on Reddit have no idea what DOS is.

Also DE, you forgot the most important command (though not necessarily for DOOM):

C:\mouse

Navy, I don't think you meant to say DOS shell, because that in itself was a GUI for DOS.

No, I think the way it was architected, DOS shell is correct. And GUI stands for "Graphical" User Interface - which DOS was not.

..I remember playing around with .bat files trying like heck to get EF2000 to run faster....

One of the releases for Jane's ATF included an apology regarding DOS only compatibility. I recall having to shell out to DOS as well to run the game with a special .bat script. That was under Win 95.

I remember trying to get Aces over Europe to run...

Needed a high amount of Main memory, I had so many separate boot disks. Hard to believe it's all in the past.

I meant DOS command line, actually... Brain fart from studying C all day. banghead

As I recall, Win 98 was the last (major) release that was actually built on DOS, whereas from XP onward, the only way to get to a command line prompt was via starting in Safe Mode.

I remember my grandfather and I spending the better part of a spring break one year trying to get Falcon 3.0 to run from a boot disk, and having to tweak the autoexec.bat down as much as possible.
