I'm pretty sure Doom will be the most popular (and my pick too), but I'll throw a shout-out to Epic Pinball; that Android table was the best one in the game anyway.

Castle of the Winds 1 and 2 were incredible!

I got my ass handed to me by Castle of the Winds when I was a kid. And that doofy-ass default barbarian sprite...

We always called that one Castle Of The Windows, since the entire game engine is constructed of 32x32 pixel Windows icons.

Native Windows UI controls for a game. Classic.

it's like that Indiana Jones Adventure game.

Wow what a throwback. I feel like i was always getting cursed and poisoned. Now i feel the need to find this game and finish it.
