Need to find out what's wrong with my old XP that keeps going to shit, because there's a ton of DOS and Win95/98 games I have that I either haven't played in years or haven't played at all that I'd like to.

I'm pretty used to the DosBox/Daemon Tools combo for running games with CD images, so I might be able to help if there's something you can't figure out.

Catacomb Abyss and Blakestone 3D are worth checking out if you like Wolfenstein 3D. They're quite similar to that game, with Blakestone basically being a sci-fi version of the same game
concept. There's also a Blakestone sequel named Planet Strike or something. Catacomb 3D is an old favorite of mine. It feels very old, even compared to Wolfenstein 3D, but it's got buckets of charm. There's a large amount of enemies to see and interesting things like exploding walls, stages with ankle deep water and skeletons that come out of the walls. It's primitive, but a lot of fun. Especially the first episode (each episode has it's own sub title, so Catacomb Abyss is the first episode. Catacomb 3D is the collective name for them, but they exist as separate .exe files only, as far as I know, rather than a Wolf3D style episode select menu).
Witchaven 2 is a broken piece of **** :laughing:, but I played it a lot back in the day. I even built my own stages that tried to fix some of the worse aspects of the game. Sadly, those are lost now :(
Blood is widely celebrated as a great Build engine game. I got tired of it and think it's a bit unbalanced and annoyinng, but as long as it's still new to you, you would probably have a blast exploring it. It's got a pretty cool horror themed thing going and is quite creepy and atmospheric. Episode one was the best. After that it gets a bit annoying. I recommend not playing at too high a difficulty level, but I do recommend checking it out if you like Duke3D and Shadow Warrior.
Eradicator is pretty obscure and feels a lot like a build engine game. It's got some odd sci-fi themed graphics and will not seem very appealing at first. But the well kept secret of this game is that it's pretty solid and has some inventive features and a large selection of weapons. Also has some pretty big stages and a cool, ambient soundtrack. And 3 characters to play as, even! I like it quite a bit, but it's an odd game, admittedly.
