Battle Chess - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/battle-chess-et - Accepteth no substitutes!

Bio Menace - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/bio-menace-22a - Absolutely amazing Apogee side-scrolling action-platformer. Solid fucking series.

Carmageddon - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/carmageddon-3zr - CARMAGEDDONNNNNNNN!!!!! Demolition Derby Racing that you win by A) completing the race, B) destroying your competition, or C) KILLING EVERY HUMAN BEING ON THE RACETRACK. (More fun than good.)

Corporate Raider: The Pirate of Wall St. - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/corporate-raider-the-pirate-of-wall-st-fc - STOCK EXCHANGE ACTION!! I'm not even kidding, I played WAY too much of this as a kid. I have no excuses or explanations.

Crusader: No Reget - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/crusader-no-regret-bpn - I always hated the control scheme of this game but its a really good game if you can get used to that and the sodomy-without-lube tier difficulty. Has a sequel.

Curse of the Azure Bonds - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/curse-of-the-azure-bonds-1uh - Easily one of the better SSI AD&D games

Dark Seed - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/dark-seed-1dl - H. R. Giger puts aliens in your skull. Gave me nightmares. Still can't really watch anyone play it. This one's reputation should precede it. Has a sequel.

Descent II - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/descent-ii-3ir - ITS MOTHERFUCKING DESCEEEEEENNNNNNNTTT!!!!

DOOM/DOOM 2 - [omitted] - Go download some zDOOM if you're nostalgic for these.

Dragon Wars - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/dragon-wars-vs - I fucking loved this game as a kid but the copy protection was in a weird format: All of the story was in a physical manual that came with the game. Without that, it was unplayable because you had no idea what to do. I had a retail copy but lost the fucking book for it at some point. You can find downloads of it now to make it playable.

Epic Pinball - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/epic-pinball-1z6 - God I played so much Super Android (Good for an

God of Thunder - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/god-of-thunder-1um - This game had some cute visuals and was legit challenging. I think I never beat it because of a softlock issue though. Still, fun little oddball.

I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/harlan-ellison-i-have-no-mouth-and-i-must-scream-2sv - HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE. (Obtuse as fuck but a really nice take on Heinlein's classic short story)

Hopper - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/hopper-1qh - A frogger by any other name... this is the one I played a ton of as a kid.

Hoyle: Official Book of Games - Volume 1 - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/hoyle-official-book-of-games-volume-1-o9 - I played the FUCK out of this. I loved the personality of the characters and the cameos like King Graham of King's Quest. Learned to play Cribbage from just playing, losing, and observing how it played in this. Fantastic game suite.

Jumpman - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/jumpman-2f - Had this on C64. Was bloody OBSESSED with it. I don't know why.
Jumpman Lives! - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/jumpman-lives-16n - That ^ but better and more of it. When it takes seven years to get a sequel, you KNOW its going to be good. :Kappa:

Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/lands-of-lore-the-throne-of-chaos-22t - The only LoL game I played and I played it for the sole reason that CAPTAIN JEAN LUC PICARD OF THE USS ENTERPRISE voiced the king. I was a nerd for TNG back in the day. Truth be told, I'd still let Patrick Stewart rail me like a jackhammer if I could only hear him talk to me while he does it. :celdiaGasm:

Liero - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/liero-a08 - The ultimate 1v1 combat game. (Pointless for anything but multiplayer though)

Master of Magic - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/master-of-magic-21t - Civ1 meets swords and sorcery. Great fun if you figure out how to play it well.

Might and Magic ]|[: The Isles of Terra - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/might-and-magic-iii-isles-of-terra-17n - I know you know this one but its just SUCH a good game. God damn I love this game.

Nyet - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/nyet-28b - Da, comrade! (Tetris clone I used to play)

Power Dolls - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/power-dolls-24s - Fucking amazing mecha-themed waifu-simulator strategy RPG. MegaTech Software will show up again before I'm done, I'm sure. Their games usually involved the cute girls getting naked or near enough.

Prince of Persia - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/prince-of-persia-pd - Presented without comment.

Princess Maker 2 - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/princess-maker-2-9ze - I cleared at least half of the possible endings in this, if not more, without ever using a walkthrough. Somehow, still never ended the game as a Princess.

Ravenloft: Stone Prophet - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/ravenloft-stone-prophet-32l - Amazing.
Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/ravenloft-strahds-possession-2si - Even better than the last one.

Rise of the Triad: The Hunt Begins - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/rise-of-the-triad-the-hunt-begins-cci - The original ROTT. SHROOMS MODE ENABLED! GABBA GABBA HEY!

Robotron: 2084 - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/robotron-2084-2t - There was a point in time where I tried to talk about this game to someone and they and the few people with us all were convinced this game did not exist and I was making shit up. Gaslighted me bad for YEARS until I finally saw it again.

Scorched Earth: The Mother of All Games - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/scorched-earth-192 - TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKS

Shadow Warrior - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/shadow-warrior-3pw - WHOOOO WANTA SUM WANG?! (Build Engine FPS)

Sorcerian - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/sorcerian-10j - :celdiaGasm: :celdiaGasm: :celdiaGasm: :celdiaGasm: :celdiaGasm: :celdiaGasm: :celdiaGasm: (aka: Dragon Slayer 5; pretty obtuse for the DOS port, more nostalgia than good)

Super Solvers: Gizmos and Gadgets - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/super-solvers-gizmos-gadgets-1r8 - I loved this game. Learned all kinds of silly shit too. I remember playing it during the summer while my older brother was bringing his girlfriends over and fucking their brains out instead of babysitting me like he was supposed to be. Good times.

Syndicate - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/syndicate-20t - RIP Bullfrog, take 2. o7

The Fool's Errand - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/the-fools-errand-nl - A really expansive logic puzzle collection of games and weird lore. Fucking bizzare, originally on Apple II. (You need to LOVE abstract puzzles to like this at all)

The Sporting News Baseball - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/the-sporting-news-baseball-is - My brother was a baseball fanatic. Between this and Bases Loaded for NES, I learned more about baseball than I ever cared to know. (Actually good baseball game)

Tyrian 2000 - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/tyrian-2000-9zi - Possibly one of the best shmups ever.

Unlimited Adventures - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/unlimited-adventures-20y - Ever wanted to make one of those SSI AD&D games? This will let you do that. I made many. No one ever played them. :(

ACiD Tetris - https://gamesnostalgia.com/en/game/acid-tetris - Great music with a solid Tetris game.

Traffic Department 2192 - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/traffic-department-2192-29p - Don't let the title fool you. This game is excellent.
