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.

Escape Velocity and its sequels.

Geez, I'd forgotten about that game. I spent an unreasonable amount of time playing those.

Time to sink into the next: Endless Sky (also @Azathoth@fedia.io)

Somewhat different style, but there's also Starsector!

Right, I forgot about that one... Haven't tried it yet. Come to think of it, Soldat was also shareware, and I sunk hundreds of hours into it.

No such thing as unreasonable with those games because they were brilliant.
