I'd would have to say the entire Commander Keen Series. I grew up on that, Wolfenstein, and Duke Nukem, But keen could kick all of them from here to Calcutta!

Enter the AD-FREE zone

Railroad Tycoon is far inferior to The Almighty Communist Dictator Commander Keen!
Actually, I never knew that was a DOS game to begin with. There was another one that I really like, It was called, Battleship or something like that. It was pretty fun, you got to man the different guns, and shoot down planes and stuff.
There was another good sort of maze like game called Rose it was pretty fun.

Wolfenstein 3-d was awesome too though. Quake, just like DOOM, gave me motion sickness, and motivated me to do my homework out of extreme boredom.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

1. Doom

When I was a kid, I played this almost every minute I had the computer. I sometimes still play it even now.


2. Dune 2

The game that introduced me to the RTS genre, and despite not following the actual timeline of the Dune books, it introduced me to the Dune universe as well.

3. Colonization

Still play it now, especially seeing as how recently I've been bored of Civ III and SMAC, yet still want to play a decent game of that genre. And the colonial America setting has plenty of charm.

1. NHL 95 - I must have played over 2,000 games to date. I'd still be playing it if I could find a DOS emulator that works with Protected Mode games.

2. Doom games - my first FPS multiplayer experiences with this game. I remember the good old days on Battleground BBS Chicago. ahhh when the net was young.

3. Monkey Island 2 - great game
