Hi video games subforum!
Im currently in the process of creating a Windows 98 rig for gaming, cuz I like old nerdy shit like that :P
Im planning on installing MS-DOS 6.22 so I can dual boot both, and besides from connecting to bbs's, I need games to play dawgg! Recommend me some good dos games and the like
Home, its where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
Windows 98 runs DOS natively...
Point is you don't need to dual-boot when you can just exit to DOS in Windows.
A truly prophetic sig...

Going for an obvious recommendation:
The Commander Keen games are an excellent series of platformers from ID Software's early days - I'd highly recommend giving them a try.
(You can get the first episode entirely free, BTW - shareware my beloved)
You can try the 8-Bit Guy's "Planet X3". It's for DOS, and it's a worthwhile game.
David needs to clean up his garage, which is crammed with copies of Planet X3, perhaps you can help him clean up a bit?

If I recall, it's not pure DOS but an emulation of DOS. Less than XP, but still not as genuine as DOS 6.22 running windows 3.1.

(Also I want to run 3.1 in 6.22 for the funnies so dos would be a must)

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream short story had a cool point-and-click dos game
theme hospital, systemshock, quake, civlization, and simcity 2000 are SOOOO GOOOOD
this is my dos games library in lutris, are are all awesome
Apart from several that were already mentioned (definitely play Prince of Persia and Jazz Jackrabbit)…
Dyna Blaster (puzzle + action game about making your way to the castle to rescue your girlfriend)
Bio Menace (shooting aliens in a city, sewers, caves and forests)
Prehistorik (action platformer from the Stone Age)
Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion (killing horror creatures; cool death animations for that time)
King's Quest (an unforgiving adventure; keep save backups)
and Legend of Kyrandia (a very funny adventure; play if you don't know what a 'fireberry' is).
The Internet Archive has a built-in MS-DOS browser emulator and a huge library of DOS games. Here's a few:

Oh, shit, Fallout is already considered a retro DOS game. :P
Crosscountry Canada. You WILL truck this block of concrete to Trois-Rivières on two hours of sleep and yesterday's breakfast.
It's kind of funny in hindsight how bizarre this game gets for an edutainment title. You can get your cargo stolen because the game never tells you how to secure it. And how the heck do you ship to Churchill, Manitoba? There's also a bug where you can go to restaurants while your seatbelt is still on.
Carmageddon, Blood, Dangerous Dave, Cannon Fodder
Bloody shooters and race is all I have, sorry
