I was looking for some old game and stumbled onto this "The home of the Underdogs":
http://www.the-underdogs.info/index.php
Its a great site with all the old classic games I played as a kid. Most of them need dosbox and just arent playable if you ever touched a modern game. Others are still a great fun to play, despite their older grafix.
Some games I personally liked a lot:
Blood 1 & 2 (FPS)
Transport Tycoon Deluxe, but patch it to openTTD (Sid meiers <3)
Pirates! (Sid meiers again)
Colonization for windows (Teh almighty Sid again)
Syndicate Wars (Action)
Dune2 (first RTS)
Discworld (Awesome RPG, lots of fun)
Leisure suit Larry ( '80 pixel pr0n!!!)
Ascendancy (4x space sim)
Enjoy!
ps: Dont use download accelerators 'n shit. You will get banned. Tnx to loekino for downing alpha centauri and uploading it to me on msn ;)

My favourites certainly include most Sierra and LucasArts adventures. But there are too many to name (and remember). That's why I compiled a list of what I currently managed to think of (and already downloaded), just because I enjoy discussing DOS games too much. :D
I also have the complete King's Quest, Space Quest and Quest For Glory series, but I have them on separate DVDs.
If you have any other ideas or suggestions, or if you perhaps own games and/or sequels I don't have yet, please post them here! Also contact me if you want any games from my list.
...and ooh - Syndicate. I'd completely forgotten about that, used to play it loads when I was about 9 :D
Edit: Unfortunately this is again a site which is being bugged by ESA. Still a nice knowledge base.
Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games *Can't dl from here tho*
Legendary stuff for me.
And another nice abandonware site to check out: Abandonia
