Anyone made a user-friendly spoon-feeding list of games that are actually worth your time so you don't have to resort to downloading 650 gigabytes of trash edutainment shovelware "games"?

Just look for GOG releases and ScummVM games. Thats 99% of worthwhile options right there.
Why cant you do the most basic ass, surface level research?
Exodos is for people who already played most of the good stuf and play random games in search for a decent one they never played before. You're not gonna download 650gb of data if you just want to play "IGN's top 20 d.o.s games"
thank you for explaining
what I'm asking for
>You're not gonna download 650gb of data if you just want to play "IGN's top 20 d.o.s games"
Not to disagree but it's good for those people too. You can grab the light version and download games you want and it's probably the easiest way to run a lot of games in the almost optimal way. You can automatically set up shaders and dosbox staging, and also the games come either manuals or anti-piracy cracked. Also, some games come already set up with add-ons like the All Seeing Eye for EOTB.
>You can grab the light version and download games you want
The only Dos games worth downloading are the exclusives titles. Because most console ports turnout to be better than Dos and smaller to download.
Frick you I do what I want.
Just do it how we did as kids: Look at the box art, read the back of the box, play whatever seems cool, feel disappointed when it sucks, and repeat. Eventually you'll find something actually cool and it will feel so much better to have found it that way.
That doesn't work when games are free and can be downloaded in seconds (if we're talking DOS games).
It does if you have a modicum of self-control and aren't an ADHD moron.
there's a recommended list on the wiki if you don't want to get a list from some IGN homosexual
https://vsrecommendedgames.fandom.com/wiki/PC/MS-DOS
there's literally a dozen Dos game lists and youtubers who cover dos exhaustively, if you can't find anything you still like that's a (you) problem

What kind of moron doesn't have a spare 1TB for this kind of thing. Dude just hit a spare HDD for this on Amazon.
Zoomers I swear
I have 5 3TB HDDs in my computer I bought for shit like this but now they’re all filled with porn.
Sounds like you have a problem.
I know I do, I just don’t know how to fix it.
Get a GF.
Nah, just kidding. I know plenty of dudes with porno addictions who had GFs but then the GFs left them because they spent more time watching porno than hanging with them
There is a 5gb lite version that downloads all the metadata files so you can see the full list, average rating, screenshots, description, and commentary description for context. Then you just hit install, and a command line torrent client grabs just that game from everybody seeding the entire collection. As to what games you'd like, that really depends on what kind of games you even like. Some games have severe nostalgia filters by a lot of the people making game lists. Some of my favorites from when I was a kid/teenager are trash games, but were amazing to me at the time. They don't hold up and I don't enjoy replaying them.
>5gb 'lite' edition that doesn't include a single goddamn game and downloads individual games slowly
lol, sorry exo, the experiment was a failure. Upload the games themselves to archive.org, please.
>downloading 650 gigabytes of trash edutainment shovelware "games"
All those games are in individual zip files. Just download what you want. If you're a zoomer who can't operate a dos emulator without a homosexual custom frontend, guess you'll need those files too.
There's also Magazines.zip with pdfs of PC game magazines, the best way to find games besides the classics everybody knows. Play something that looks interesting and make up your own mind. Internet opinions are useless, just read the comments on a video for any shitty game "this was a great game, the best"
frick exbloat6 just throw individual zip files from TDC or Exo5 into DOSbox Pure, as for what to play don't be a gay and do your own research as others have said.
Not sure if this is the /vr/ DOS pack, but it's something I grabbed from a while ago that still works.

Here's part of the readme. Yeah it's the vr pack, go read the rest of it to see all the games in the DOS pack folder.
Pretty sure virtually everything worth playing has been ported to Windows, either officially (id software games, Build Engine games, Tomb Raider etc) or unofficially (Ultima series, ScummVM point & clicks).
