Interesting.  Off to tend to my lemmings!  I've made it to Upsidedown World in Taxing so far, and I only needing Lemmings Encyclopedia once.  However, I have checked to solutions on there, but they turned out to be correct, so technically it's not getting it from there.

3D Lemmings

Are you sure 3D Lemmings was on DOS? I had it on CD.

[Pooty]

I love 3D Lemmings. Once I was able to handle the controls, there was a good game to be found in there. I wish they'd do it again. With dual analog sticks, it should be a lot easier to implement now.

Other top 5 DOS games in my opinion (and yes, 3D Lemmings is definitely a DOS game) are Ultima V, Flashback, Beneath a Steel Sky and Wolfenstein 3D.

3D Lemmings

Are you sure 3D Lemmings was on DOS? I had it on CD.

You can have CD games on DOS.  In fact a large number of my DOS games are.
And I believe 3D Lemmings did have a CD version.  And it came out on disc for PS1 and Sega Saturn, for obvious reasons.

Yes, I know that 3D Lemmings came out on CD, especially the PC version because it was the one I played.

Anyway, I'm trying my best to stay on topic, but most of the DOS games I remember were "Learning" games. These are the Top 6 DOS games I've played:

Lemmings
Grand Prix Racing
Prince of Persia
Thomas the Tank Engine Pinball
Math Rescue
Word Rescue
