My favorite classic DOS games that I grew up playing. Ah, the golden era of PC gaming!

I couldn't pick a good order to show them in, so they are listed here in chronological order of their release, but not necessarily in the chronological order that I played them.

This list brings back some fond memories. The first computer I ever got was DOS-based. I distinctly remember Leisure Suit Larry. Those were the days, weren't they?
