I'd like to play some classic (like DOS / Win95-WinXP) games. What are some hidden gems?
Tyrian 2000 is an easy choice given it's permanently free on GOG. It's a really fun old shmup with story and arcade modes, lots of difficulty settings (look up cheat codes if you need to make it harder) and a pretty solid amount of weapon customization. Still very much holds up today.
