I have been playing a lot of MS DOS games lately. The likes of Doom, Elder Scrolls Arena, and other games like it come to mind.
Since I want to expand my gaming library beyond Doom and Arena, I though I'd be wise to ask around in this section of WP what is your favorite MS DOS video game(s) you have played.
It can be any game so long as it has to run on MS DOS.

The classics:
Shoot em up walk through RPG Games.
The Catacomb series.
The Wolfenstein series.
The Duke Nukem series.
Space oriented games:
The Wing Commander series: An interesting, award winning game series in which you are fighting humanity's arch nemesis, the Kilrathi, with a "choose your own adventure" type nature and story line filmed like a movie, with Mark Hamil, Malcom McDowell and other actors. There are spin offs which do not have live filmed parts, such as Wing Commander Privateer, in which you are engaged in space commerce.
Solar Winds, but it's time intensive. If it takes 2 hours for your ship to get somewhere, it actually takes two hours. There's a sequel which was not widely distributed and is difficult to find.
Then of course there are a variety of Star Trek and Star Wars games.
Strategy:
Sanitarium
But unless you are making money off of it somehow, gaming can quickly become a waste of time better spent doing more productive things.
