I'm pretty sure Doom will be the most popular (and my pick too), but I'll throw a shout-out to Epic Pinball; that Android table was the best one in the game anyway.

Comanche: Maximum Overkill, the very first game to use VOXELS, the FUTURE of PC GAMING!

Jesus, that's a deep cut.

Monster Bash! It was one of the better-playing platformers on the PC back in the day and I loved the halloween aesthetic.

It's a simple choice, really, considering how many hours I managed to invest as a kid:

Quake was awesome, especially since you could play the online multiplayer from the free version.

I played a lot of 2 games that nobody I've spoken to has ever heard of: Mordor the depths of dejenol Exile escape from the pit Both were great, I think exile had been remade by the programmer with a different title too

There was a Mordor 2 shareware as well. The game never got a full release but laid the foundation for Demise: Rise of the Kutan (2000). The rights to the game were sold to Decklin and they released expansions Ascension (2016) and Revenge of the Tavern Keeper (2024). Demos for Demise and the expansions are available at https://www.decklinsdemise.com/

Found out the exile games are now distributed as freeware https://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/exile/winexile.html https://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/productsOld.html

Don't remember the name of it but it was a Geometry Wars style shooter where the playing field would tilt as you moved. Played a ton of that game.

The graphic design looks so much like Spelunky. Cool!

We had to be memory experts back then. QEMM FTW!
