Been trying to remember the name of one I used to like.
It was very similar to this picture, but you had a capsule-shaped home base and had to aim missiles at the enemy base (I think while compensating for wind). You could also build those tanks every certain amount of turns and they would travel to the enemy to attack for for a limited time.

probably a long shot here but anyways:

If anyone knows the names of this game, it came on a shareware CD for windows 98 (possibly 95 but not likely)

The first is some kind of indiana jonesish themed game where you go into caves and boulders can kill you and there are traps you can set off and snakes n shit. You can also make custom maps and play them.

I will contribute with Tower of The Ancients. Used to play this game a fuckton and even my dad liked playing it sometimes.

It was a learning game, perhaps set in a Roman era. it revolved around a small town or school, and it was mid-screen isometric in appearence, it involved mostly walking around collect items and talking to people, normal stuff. I think there was a lot of yellow involved visually, but not limited to few colour palette, it had many ranges and detailed

i don't get the hate this game has, it was a pretty solid 1vs1 fighting game for being made by two college students, the same ones who made Executioners when they were 16 years old.

Bloodlust Software is a developer of humorous PC computer games. It was originally formed in 1992 by two high school students (Ethan Petty and Icer Addis) who were angry at the rise of movements against computer game violence. To parody the situation, Bloodlust ended up making excessively violent games.

Not DOS but somewhat obscure. Grezzo 2 is an Italian total conversion megawad, developed by Nicola Piro, a member of the metal rockband "Karashow" and released in 2012. It's commonly known because of its blasphemous and offensive content.

Spellcross: The Last Battle

Is a turn-based DOS strategy game for the PC, developed by a slovak company Cauldron HQ and published by SCi in 1997/1998. For a variety of reasons (notably, a relatively nonexistent marketing budget and the emergence of games dominated by the demands of 3D-graphics cards), unfortunately for its designers, the game had little mass appeal, sold poorly, and has remained obscure.

The plot is fairly standard and inconsequential, and the game is pretty fun and nifty in my opinion and has some unique visuals. From what I remember the chick who made it also made a godawful 90s-era weeaboo webcomic and had also planned to make a game based off of it that never happened.

Regardless, it's one of my favorite DOS games.
