I'm pretty sure Doom will be the most popular (and my pick too), but I'll throw a shout-out to Epic Pinball; that Android table was the best one in the game anyway.

"Stars!" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars!

A 4X game for Win 3.11 that was set up for multi-player by email and ftp turbo.

Fantastically ergonomic use of early GUI features.

You could design your own alien race and ships, the default races were well balanced, but all played very differently.
