    I was always more of a turn based strategy fan.

    A few that pop up in my mind are:
    Master of Orion
    Civilization
    Empire Deluxe
    Heroes of Might and Magic II
    Machiavelli the Prince

    Though there's so many more that I'm just forgetting about.

    Oh wow, I almost entirely forgot about Arachnophobia! Nothing quite like a bit of good spider-killing fun.

    I've played a lot of DOS games and demo games but I can remember very few of them for some reason. Most of the full games I had either came with a computer or other add on hardware.

    MY favorites out of the ones I can can remember are...
    Jurrasic Park
    D/Generation
    Sim City 2000

    My all time favorite dos game was Mean Streets by Access Software. The first of the Tex Murphy Adventures. Count Down and Crime wave were also quite good Access Titles. And Martian Memorandum, I preordered it. Hah

    Next would be Rise of the Dragon @ Heart of China. Dynamix titles were amazing.

    And of course all of the Space Quest Series.

    Budokan was also a favorite.

    OG Prince of Persia

    Wing Commander 1 - Have to use a boot disk with EMM386 (spelling?) for expanded memory

    Kyrandia - Only played the first one.

    I've never really been a PC gamer of any kind, but I've always been a fan of DinoPark Tycoon and Museum Madness.

    I'm not quite sure what makes DOs games differ from 3.x/9X, but i have Rogue and Galactic and like those, as well as Warcraft...and i have the old Sim games.

    I'm a big fan of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Gold Box games. The old Might & Magic series is pretty good, too. I have the console ports of some of those, but it just ain't the same.
