Your Best 10 MS-Dos FPS Games

[Karnik]

As you already know, the early first person shooter games were created for MS-DOS, and over the years, starting from the first-born Ken's Labyrinth, various fps genres have been published; espionage (eg Wolfenstein), horror (eg Quake), science fiction (eg Dark Forces), fantasy (eg Witchaven) etc. The choice is quite large, but not that vast. What are your favourites? I ask you for ten if you can, in order of preference. This is my ranking;

1) Redneck Rampage;
2) Blood;
3) Shadow Warrior;
4) Duke Nukem 3d;
5) Hexen;
6) Quake 1/2
7) Doom 1/2;
8) Dark Forces;
9) Exhumed;
10) Wolfenstein;

With many of these it was possible to play additional episodes, custom maps, wads, mods, add-ons via a specific command line on ms-dos (today applications and emulators do this automatically). Nowdays I play them via Magic Dosbox apk on tablet or, for some titles, on the NDS console via specific ports. What are your favourites? Do you also play custom episodes or other famous megawads? Above all, where do you use them? On PC or console?
Thanks for your attention.
Yours truly.

1) Strife.

2) Doom (both).

3) Wolfenstein 3D.

4) Quake.

5) Heretic.

6) Outlaws.

7) Dark Forces.

8) Spear of Destiny.

9) System Shock.

10) Corridor 7.

I mostly play them through sourceports, with the multiplayer action against bots breathing new life into Strife.

wolfenstein
alien trilogy
duke nukem 3d
chasm
heretic
blood
doom

I would only play wolf or alien these days, just vanilla versions in dosbox with tank controls, that way they feel like their own subgenre of FPS where they are unsurpassed. The rest of em tried too hard to be 3D so they are showing their age too much. Also want to give ps1 version of alien a try at some point with a controller, cause I really like strafing with shoulder buttons.

5. Blake Stone (best played with bstone today)

7. System Shock (if that counts)
8. Descent 1/2 (if 6dof counts as first Person, my favorite game to test soundfonts)
