Gaming

Not to be the hispter, but my fav. is a very niche game called "Het Yogo Yogo Spel", it's a promotional game for a drink in the Netherlands. for some reason i have such strong nostalgic feelings for it, i really loved playing it as a kid and even more as an adult because it reminds me of that time so much. and no, it's not an amazing platformer (not bad either) but man...

I didn't play it on DOS, though it also saw a DOS release, but Syndicate would be high on my list.

Carmageddon was a late DOS release that I liked.

I never did actually get around to The Ancient Art of War, though I did want to play that.

I didn't play it on DOS, though it saw a DOS release, but the original Sim City aged pretty well.

Probably Lotus Racing (ran off one floppy), then Quake 1 and Carmageddon 1. Never really gamed much after those few.

Heroes of Might and Magic II, I still will fire it up to play occasionally! I have so many fond memories of me and my dad playing into the long hours of the night.

I got into ZZT, a "topdown" 2d game with its own map editor and even a rudimentary scripting language. Stumbled on it because I wanted to make games. People made some seriously impressive shit on that thing and its successors.

Xargon and Highway Hunter.

Theme Park. So classic.

Going by most influential, it'd have to either be Doom or Ultima Underworld. Both of these inspired entire genre's that still live on to this day (FPS and First-Person RPG's like The Elder Scrolls). Personally? Ultima 7.

Duke Nukem II. Also love the first one. Apogee in general made some really excellent DOS games.

Every once on a while i get back to Mad TV. Casual game before it was cool. Also Indiana Jones: Fate of Atlantis

Doom, Duke Nukem 3d, Zak McKraken and the alien mindbenders, One Must Fall 2097

Supaplex and Gorillas are my go tos!

Sid Meier's covert action. Absolutely amazing spy game with lots of minigames and a randomly generated hierarchy of bad guys to catch every mission. Really want a remaster but I don't think I'm getting one.

Space Hulk would definitely be mine

Gunship 2000. Shit was amazing.

Ultima series.

Star Control II for sure. Fantastic game, still one of the best story-based games I've played. Heavily inspired a lot of more modern franchises, too, including Mass Effect.

I never had a DOS computer back then and only played a few games through emulators in recent years. It has to be DOOM for me.

Star Command was my favorite. Loved recruiting crew members, buying and upgrading ships, and going around the galaxy to complete missions. It's the game that got me hooked on RPGs as a kid

Wolfenstein 3D, my first ever PC game

my dad gave me a floppy disk from one of his coworkers with instructions on how to navigate and run the game from DOS and I felt like a hacker lol

Probably X-Com: UFO Defense. Got really into it and holy hell got angry at that game. But damn it made me want to play more!

Hard to say. Secret Agent, Treasure Mountain, Azrael's Tear, Chill Manor, etc. All solid games. Hard to pick just one.

Crusader: No Remorse/No Regret

Sometimes I wish they made an FPS reboot, then I remember EA owns it.

Quake.
