I'm talking from the 286 - 486 era. Here's mine.
Stunt Driver
Ancient Art of War
Eight Ball Deluxe
Sharkey's 3D pool
Gunship 2000
Tie FighterThere's probably more but I can't remember off the bat but these new fangled 3d action Quake clones don't hold a candle to the good old games of DOS.
Definitively my favorite would be TIE FIGHTER, which I still play until now (though nowdays I have the CD 'collectors edition').
I also like very much of:
Stunts
Prince of Persia
Commander Keen 4I've reached the end from all the games I mentioned here (Stunts has no end). The toughest definitively was Tie Fighter (the toughest mission in my oppinion: Battle 13, Mission 5)
Do you still play Tie Fighter ?

I forgot how good those old DOS games were until I picked up an old AMD DX40 486, popped in a 1.7 GB drive and downloaded a tonne of abandonware games. My favorites right now:
Scorched Earth (remember playing for beer during university days)
Doom (what else can you say - the first time I saw the 2nd level end boss nearly scared the crap out of me)
Betrayal at Krondor (best RPG, bar none)
Tie Fighter (great game)
Check out www.theunderdogs.org for some of the classics.

Hey hey hey!!!
I forgot to mention 3 incredible games:MechWarrior 2 (actually my favorite old game)
Out of This World
FlashbackAnd about DOOM... How in this world hasn't ever played Doom? How in this galaxy doesn't know what IDKFA means? hahaha
It's even common to have special responses in other games to the cheat code IDKFA (in MechWarrior2, if you enter the cheat entry and type IDKFA, it displays "this isn't DOOM, dude!" and ejects you from your Mech hehe)

Mine would be QBASIC PONG!
I'm still looking for Super Pong.
(it was a dedicated console Atari built)

PC-Virus by David Braben (known as Zarch on the Archimedes). A genuinely ground-breaking game that was then, and is still, the toughest mouse-controlled game ever made.
Also, I've gotta also give votes to Wolfenstein and Doom.

I have to agree on some things like Wolf3D and Doom. Recently I dragged my computer to school for some science fair stuff and some Korean kid asked me if I had Wolfenstein 3D, I let him play it, half the student body flocked to my computer within about 30 minutes... not a single one of them asked what game it was. Even a group of random girls who always seemed to know very little about old games started talking about how that had to be their favorite game.
1) Wolfenstein 3D (the game that started it all, I think)
2) Doom (find me a game with more mods, levels, patches, engines, and so on, and with more people who have heard of it)
3) Scorched Earth (the MOTHER of ALL GAMES, truly)
4) Stunts (boy, if I could dig up that 386 and take out the hard drive... my brother designed too many death tracks to fit on it)
5) Nethack and Angband (thank GOD my brother has his own computer now)
6) All the games in the TSR Advanced Dungeons and Dragons series (thank GODDDDDDDDDDD my brother has his own computer now)
7) The Ultima series (THAAAAAANK GODDDDDDDDDDDD my brother has his own computer now)
8) FX Fighter (my brother could kill anyone with Ashraf, but ONLY with his special joystick)
9) Rayman (I could not begin to express how glad I am that my brother has his own computer now)
10) Okay, fine, Out of This World. I found the box to that game and had no clue what it was like... then I found the CD and played it. Interesting storyline, rather puzzlish at parts.
11) Cyberia (sure, my brother hated that game but I sure didn't)

It's way late, but couldn't let this go by unresponded-to...
Surely the most obsessive, immersive, scare-you-enought-to-soil-your-briefs DOS game of all was SystemShock.
About as prone to causing compulsive behavior was Descent. I remember downloading it at 7:00pm the night it was released, thinking to play for an hour or two. Next thing I knew there was this funny noise in the next room - my alarm clock going off at 6:00 the next morning! Good thing the wife and kids were off at Grandma's or I'd have caught major grief :-).
And yes, Doom and Wolfenstein both get places of honor in the pantheon. And let us not forget Duke Nuke'm 3D. Pipe bombs, pool halls, pigcops and gogo dancers!
