Suppose your question is legit and not an excuse to rack up the post count, but what on Earth are "DOS games for Windows" supposed to mean? You can play almost any DOS game in Windows using DOSBox, you know.

But, if you're looking for DOS games that have native Windows versions, ports or adaptations, I believe I have you covered here.

Correction: as Descent II was a commercial (not shareware) release, the free version is just a three-level demo (but totally worth a try I'd say). The full game should be available for a low price from GOG though.
