With the exception of the Sierra "Quest" series, this is like... my childhood. I am sublimely happy right now.
 
OH GOD YES! JAZZ JACKRABBIT! I have to thank CatParty for this thread.
When I was a kid Jazz Jackrabbit was to me what Mario and Sonic were to many of my friends. Time for some nostalgia.

Another thing that's been a bit frustrating with these DOS games is not only the lack of manuals, but some of the games have questions or codes provided by the manual to get into the game. I was trying out Stunts and THANK GOD there's a reviewer at the bottom of the page who has the manual answers.

Tongue of the Fatman was...something. I liked how gross the art design was but I thought the controls sucked. I'd get my ass kicked by the first guy while I land at most two hits on him. It's worth playing for just a few minutes, though.

I've been playing the heck out of the Castle of Dr. Brain, Island of Dr. Brain, Prince of Persia and Super Solvers. I just found they had Mixed-Up Mother Goose, which is the first game I EVER played.

Then I discovered Eamon. Basically a pre-Zork text adventure RPG with hundreds of quests written by developers and fans. It was so beautiful, I nearly cried. I could play this game for months.

Even when I found some frustrating or just plain bad games, I'm really happy to have found these.
