Housemarque's old Zaxxon-like The Reap is a litarally life-changing 7/10 for me for multiple reasons. It won't be for you, but it's still a fun game to mess with if you can get it to run. Look it up.
Lots of PC games of that era are unjustly forgotten. Abuse is too good for this thread, but who is playing Abuse these days?
Also, honorable mention to the brand/franchise with the most 7/10s I will defend, Spider-Man. Spider-Man vs the Kingpin was so weirdly ambitious for an early Mega Drive game, Maximum Carnage was so weirdly ambitious for a late 16 bit beat-em up, Lethal Foes looked crazy for a SNES platformer and never left Japan for some reason, Spider-Man Web of Shadows was panned, but had some crazy visual, gameplay and narrative ideas... people were always doing a bit better than they should for the ability or budget they had with those until Insomniac made them big budget AAA.
The bad ones are BAD, though.
Try The Amazing Spider-man (1989) for DOS if you want some sweet webslinging action with tits full of puzzle milk
Oh, man, I bought that on launch. Spidey's poopy squat is hilarious, you will get murdered endlessly by R2D2...
...and there is a way to clip right to the end of the game from the helicopter on the first screen, at least on the floppy version I had.
Also, the DRM is just a quiz about Spider-Man, which I could beat without looking at the manual, so I did appreciate that they let you pirate the game if you're enough of a fan.
