I'm setting up my MiSTer FPGA and want to prioritize a bit. I currently have DOS and Win 95 running, but plan to setup Macintosh and any other worthwhile computer platforms. Any computer platform welcome (I already have the consoles figured out). What are your "must try" game suggestions?

Edit: I just got back to this post and am pleasantly surprised by the response. I'll probably be adding most if not all of these to test since I have the space. Thank you to everyone who commented.

X-Com - UFO Defense and Terror from the Deep (I remember hacking my demo copy of UFO Defense and bypassing the shareware check. Still my all time favorite strategy game)

Doom

Duke Nukem 1, 2, and 3D

Wolfenstein 3D

Jetpack

Commander Keen

Raptor: Call of the Shadows

Rise of the Triad

Monster Bash (Just pretty much anything 3D Realms or Apogee related was gold)

Moraff's Dungeons of the Unforgiven(Only ever had the shareware version as a kid, but I played it over and over)
