I already have Full Throttle and Tie Fighter. I am still looking for RIse of the Tentacles to complete my holy trinity of Best Dos Games ever (my opinion though)

Quest for glory/Hero's Quest (original sierra game, not the Point and click crap remake)

 

Monkey island 1 & 2.

Hard to nail down one favourite, I would say Syndicate but I only had an Amiga at that time so the Amiga versions the one I like best, Doom is an obvious contender as is Doom 2 or Duke3D, Shadow Warrior etc..

 

I think I'll go with Syndicate Wars though, the good stuff from the first game turned up a bit and some bigger bangs from new weapons, the bank robbing was a nice touch to earn extra cash as well

I changed the topic to include games because I didn't even follow my own guidelines. :P

 

I'm surprised no one ever said X-com though. That's usually one of the top games on people's list

I remember just going on old sites like Lordsoth, at least I think that was it, and downloading/trying all these freeware DOS games.

 

I forgot to mention the best one, Marshmallow Duel.

Hugo's House of Horrors III

Street Rod 2

 

That's about all... not very many DOS games had much replay value to me as a child -- I enjoyed my Sega Master System and Sega Genesis much more.

Indeed, those were excellent games. The second Quest for Glory was awesome too.

Syndicate was a great game. I'm hoping that franchise will be resurrected when publishers see that some of the best game ideas were from the old days like Syndicate and Dungeon Keeper.

Ah yes, X-Com...what a great, yet horrifically hard game. I could only do well in the first one. The second one, Terror from the Deep, was way too hard for me as a kid and it's still hard. I just started playing through it again on Steam and it is not an easy game.
