Vblank Entertainment is bringing Retro City Rampage — its homage to 8-bit games and Grand Theft Auto — over to one of the influential gaming operating systems of all time: DOS! Retro City Rampage 486 is a port of Retro City Rampage DX, an enhanced version of the game featuring a story mode, arcade challenges, and free roaming. As the name suggests, if one wants to run the game natively, a beefy 486 CPU is required, along with 3.7 MB of disk space and 4 MB of RAM. But of course, DOSBox can be used as well. A release date for the DOS version of the game is not yet known.

The game is now available for: Windows, Mac, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®3, PS Vita, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Xbox 360, NES and DOS. What remains is the obvious hardest - Linux port.

FreeDOS is still under active development and has many features and enhancements beyond the original DOS. It'd be easier for you to browse the site rather than list them all here, as there are quite a few of them.
