        Supaplex and Cannon Fodder, I played the AMIGA version of Cannon Fodder 2 and I really loved it.

          On my Pi a still have a few MS-DOS games that I enjoy very much, they are:

          • Abuse
          • Blues Brothers (there are other BB games, but this one is really nice)
          • Dragon's Lair - Escape from Singe's Castle (a hidden gem!)
          • Commander Keen 4 to 6
          • Terminal Velocity (runs at 1 fps on my Pi, bummer!)
          • Supaplex (also, somewhat of a hidden gem)

          There are a few games that I played a lot, but I found other versions that are better or more easy to install/play:

          • Prince of Persia 2 - The Shadow and the Flame (the game that I've enjoyed the most in my life): I recently found out that the Mac version completely blows the graphics of the MS-DOS version away.
          • Lemmings: I find it more easy to play the SNES version.
          • Descent: PSX

                    I don't have any on the Pi yet but I got a few old favorites of mine I want to try.

                    3D Lemmings
                    One Must Fall 2097
                    Cyberia
                    11th Hour
                    Space Hulk
                    Tie-Fighter
                    Mega Race
                    Brix
                    Boppin
                    Descent
                    Descent II (which I think originally was DOS if memory serves me right)
                    Windows 3.X (mostly so I can play something like the first 'Journey Man Project' if possible)
                    Doom 1 and 2
                    Heretic
                    Hexen
                    Duke Nukem 3D
                    ... and a bunch of old random freeware games that folks made back in the 90's that I use to play the crap out of. That is if I can find my old disk archives. I use to back up everything I downloaded from the net back then.

                      Luckily there are a lot of sites with abandonware like: http://www.abandonia.com/en/game/all

                        @Meneer-Jansen I love that place. Sadly, the freeware games I mentioned were made by college kids back in the mid 90's and most are lost forever. This one game called 'Diamond Runner' was a really cool home brew RPG in the flavor of 'Phantasy Star' for the Master System. Graphics wasn't as good but the music was awesome for SB 16 midi.

                        I had tons of stuff I use to play allot at night when I was in college back then.
