To this day, the original "Maniac Mansion" remains to be one of the coolest games in my entire DOS collection! Not the fancy, "enhanced" version from 1989, everyone knows, but the classic release from early 1988. It looked very much like the C64 version, but for IBM-PC. This was sold on a single, 360K 5.25inch floppy disk. If you're into retro stuff, you should definitely check this out!
