I would put this in Legacy Platforms but since DOS PCs aren't exactly consoles, I figured the PC section would be as good as any. What're your top-5 classic DOS games? In no particular order, mine are:

1: Star Control II

2: Rogue

3: Doom

4: Dune II

5: Commander Keen

4. Doom II: Hell on Earth

3. System Shock

2. X-COM: UFO Defense

1. Ultima VII: The Black Gate

Yes it was DOS to play but it required Win 95 to use the tool kit. Not that that disqualifies it, just sayin'. I played the original Warcraft too when it first came out but the TC didn't ask my top 10 DOS games just my top five.

I think that peeps are far more likely to list things that they miss which haven't gotten new versions (or GOOD new versions).

Surprised that Wing Commander has not cropped up. That series sold a lot of hardware :)

Master of Orion (and gobs of other Microprose titles)
Wing Commander series
Crusader series
Dannie Bunton' stuff

Aw man.. I completely forgot about Starflight, how could I do that? I remember the first time I ever played it was on the Sega Genesis, then I discovered it was a DOS game, I liked that even better. I also haven't heard of Mind Mirror, I oughta try it out..
