If you've played anything in the past 3 years,
I'd especially like to
hear about it since that speaks to enjoyment and replayability. If
you like it, someone here will probably like it too.
Thanks for any and all suggestions!

Super Breakout
Frogger
Asteroids
Star Wars (the Wireframe 3D one)

Wolfenstien 3D
DOS (high spec 486/Penium)
Carmegedeon
X-Wing
Tie Fighter

Might and Magic
(Okay, yes, I was a total LucasArts Junky for a while. Dark Forces and
the X-Wing/Tie Fighter twins are pretty much my favorite games of all
times. These run quite well in DosBox if you can't lay your hands on
period hardware.)
