My dad used to sign up for this magazine that would give you a floppy disk insert every month that had DOS software & games on it. These disks kept me occupied in my elementary school days. They had text-based adventure games, dungeon crawlers, first person shooters (pre-cursor to Doom), puzzle games, word games, etc.
Sadly, I can't find any of them available for download on the internet. I guess they JUST WEREN'T POPULAR ENOUGH. ARGH.

Conflagration
Catacomb 3D
Murder in the Museum
and a ton of others I don't remember the names of
There's also this one game that was on our copy of OS/2 Warp. It was a puzzle game where you had a character that had to move boxes around on a tile-based grid. It was similar to Chip's Challenge except there were no fancy water/fire/ice tiles and no monsters. It just had one-way tiles and boxes arranged in specific ways. The goal was to move the boxes to the indicated tiles. I just can not for the life of me find any reference to this game. O_O''
