I cannot remember the name but you got to choose between a boy character and a girl character and each stage you had to get all the collectibles to open the door. It was a 2d platformer as well.
Edit: Turns out the game is called Word Rescue.

Bunch of greats mentioned so far. I was a big fan of an older game called “Millenium: Return to earth” in which you colonized the solar system. One of the few games I had that came on the larger, five inch floppies.
Kings Quest games for sure. IV was the one I played the most, it was a buggy mess, but I loved it.
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis Truly a masterpiece or maybe I have rose tinted glasses A real puzzler with a decent amount of replayability
Magic Carpet was my favorite dos game I think, that or Loom.
Magic Carpet had you flying around on a Carpet, blasting fireballs at snake things, collecting mana orbs, building castles, and destroying castles of the enemy.
Loom was a Lucas Arts game where you played as a "can't look at the face of" mystical weaver of reality.. Dude under a robe with a Hoodie. You pick up a Magic staff, learn combo's of letters to play on the staff (I had a little notebook next to me with them all written down) and the game got absolutely wild. Fabric of reality breaking sorta wild.
DOOM
DOOOOM, the first actually good game that i played as a kid. I went from tetris to doom and it was insane haha
Wing Commander Privateer - I love a good economy game in my spaceship game.
Mechwarrior - Battletech 1st person. Get you a 30 foot tall robot and shoot some lasers at other giant robots. Go for the knees.
ZZT was an amazing game where you could make your own games and program "objects" using a simple scripting language. It was my first programming language.
It was Tim Sweeney's first game. I've never played Fortnight.
was road rash on DOS? played that a lot. wolf 3d too.
