Hi, That's a good question. There is one Dos game I use to play a lot called 688 where you were a submarine commander in command of a 688 Los Angelis-class attack submarine. Another game I played a lot was Elite which was discussed already on list. More recently I've gotten into the Dos wrestling sims like Piledriver and Wrestling League Manager. I'm sure there are plenty of other Dos games I could think of given enough time, but copyrights and things like that would be a big issue.
Cheers!
