No, I never actually got into them. I'm not even sure why. I think it's as simple as nobody having a copy of the games around here, and it's not like we actually bought games. People talk about piracy as a fairly recent problem, but back in the 90's I barely owned an original copy of anything. It was always X amount of floppy disks from someone's colleague, uncle or something similar.
In 1980 I was part of the C64 club in our area. I was the only person in the room, most of the time, with legal copies of games. People would spend hours making copies of my floppies and nobody thought anything of it. We did it in the public library next door to the cop shop My first load of games all came from these folks too, I just started buying them because I liked having the manuals and stuff.
While I wouldn't rate DOS2 game of the year, it's not because of the quality. I just prefer single-character games over party-based.
