Learned how to cd into C:\Program Files\Games when I was 5 just to run doom.exe on the family computer. Duke Nukem 2D, Commander Keen, Wacky Wheels, Blakestone, and many others too.
Micro Machines and Raptor: Call of the Shadows deserve a mention as well.
I liked Raptor, but I LOVED Tyrian
My preferred scrolling shooter was SWIV, which I had for my Amiga. I doubt that a lot of people know that one though, and it isn't DOS. Never heard of Tyrian.
Tyrian is freeware and open source!
