Abandonware DOS title

The most popular PvP (player VS player) games

Of all the multiplayer modes available for a game, PvP (Player VS Player) is one of the most appreciated.

In fact, the first games in history lacked a computer opponent (it needed more resources, more code, etc.), there was PvP before everything else.
