DOS Games

I thought this would be interesting to see what everyone's opinions are, and for me to learn of some games I may not know.  Other than the more popular, DOOM, Quake, Duke Nukem 3D and Wolfenstein 3D, what would be your top 5 or top 10 DOS games of all time?

I liked Descent and the Commander Keen games.  Jill of the Jungle and Jazz Jackrabbit were pretty fun too.  There was a lighthearted Halloween/horror themed platformer that I liked but don't remember what it was called.

Descent was AMAZING! At the time, everyone was touting Goldeneye as the end-all-be-all of multiplayer gaming. Pffft, it had nothing on Descent. We had that game networked at our school, so we'd finish our typing lessons as fast and humanly possible, then get in on some huge networked vs. games of Descents. So many cool maps both official and fan-made. And even not networked, there was a HUGE online network of players for years on that game. Plus full 360 degree controls! I know, that sound silly today, but back then it was a big-freaking-deal!

And dat soundtrack!

Full Throttle, The Dig, Star Wars: Dark Forces, etc.  Pretty much anything from Lucasarts back then.

Challenge of the Ancient Empires and Operation Neptune are 2 of my favorites. I started playing them again recently. Sure they're supposed to be educational games but they're difficult, in a fun way.

Abuse is incredible.

Some other of my favorites include
Blood
Descent 1&2
Crusader no Remorse
Jazz Jackrabbit
Shaddow Warrior
Powerslave

Besides the already mentioned ones, I can remember of Prince Of Persia, Hocus Pocus, Dungeon Keeper, Dagger of Amon-Ra (or any other Sierra adventure like Phantasmagoria), Prehistoric and 7th Guest.

Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure has got to be my favourite, hope to one day own a sealed boxed copy.

I can't really put them in any kind of ranking order but 6 greats in my mind are:

One Must Fall
Epic Pinball
Halloween Harry
Blake Stone
Descent
Jazz Jackrabbit

I had DOS games confused with shareware games for some reason.     I guess that's mostly what I played on PC.  Monkey Island will always be on top of my list.

Thanks guys.  I'm going to watch gameplay of all these and pick some for my wish list.

Wing Commander, any of the starwars xwing games, Rise of the Triad.

One Must Fall is one of the best fighters ever released for the PC.

Kings Quest games
Police Quest games
Leisure Suit Larry games
Fallout
