A noob list for kids born after 1995.
Played almost everything from there, and I can honestly say the entire list is lame, it's just the peak of the iceberg. Propably the only criteria was the shitdosbox compatibility.
At least it had a nice layout.
It doesn't feature every good DOS game ever, therefor it was written by noobs

Dead State Divinity: Original Sin
They have absolutely nothing going for them. Especially not Wolf3D.

Why do you hate killing Nazis so much?
I don't get it. For its time, it was great shooter. It was my first time playing FPS. The shouts, the barks, the sound of the guns was fantastic. Nothing like opening a door and have that SS trooper shouting before unloading his MP40 at me while my fingers nearly jumped off the keyboard. Red screen of death. Awesome game.

It did not age well, but the fast paced action was really good back then.

*Looks at the list to follow Wyrmlord's example*

Fuck Lands of Lore. LoL is shit. It has boring combat, boring switch puzzles, and fucking ass plot. I'm glad I never finished it and just watched some British dude narrate the game over a video YouTube LP. And I still fell asleep.
