4d boxing is interesting. I dont mean its goat or anything but controls are pretty good, as is the career/training mode. Graphics are serviceable and were really neat at the time.

Tunnels of Armageddon.

I had another game on the armageddon disk that was a cool 3d polygon flight sim shooter thing.

Comanche. X-29 retaliator.

It's a divisive series. You'll either love (most of) them or hate them. I love em, but I don't know how much of that is my nostalgia talking.

Give Pools of Radiance a chance, and if you don't like it then don't bother with the rest. They wont be your cup of tea.

I feel like one of the Microsoft Flight Simulator titles is essential. For ease of use/understanding I'd suggest 4, but 1 or 2 is probably more notable given it was once one of the standard pieces of software used to test/demonstrate IBM compatibility. Version 5 is also great, but by that point it's more worth looking at if you're into flight sims than if you just want to play with some notable software.
