I'm gonna have to give it to Monster Bash, but there's a lot of terrific competition. Jill of the Jungle, Cosmo, Commander Keen 6.
Abuse.
Mystic Towers.
Jazz Jackrabbit 2 for sure.
There was a game called Dangerous Dave. Very hard and frustrating but I remember I used to play it a lot.
Correct me if I'm wrong but is Mystic Towers a platformer? I thought it was more like a Head Over Heels style exploration isometric thing.
Jazz Jackrabbit was fun and nice-looking but had some notable flaws. They were fixed in Jazz Jackrabbit 2 for Windows, which is an overall better game, but I wasn't a fan of how things looked really small and faraway in that game.
Commander Keen series, especially 4 - 6 (Secret of the Oracle, Armageddon Machine, Aliens Ate my Babysitter). Absolute classic games that get forgotten about all the time now (Though I hear there's an easter egg in a recent id shooter...)

What's your favourite old-school DOS platformer?
Good times!

Mine is Zool. Loved that game as a kid.
I love how there are so few words in the thread title and yet we're still getting Windows games and non-platformers. XD
Not being a dick, I genuinely think it's quite funny.
Great picks so far. I'd forgotten all about Skunny.
Lemmings, puzzle-platformer:
Arctic Adventure
Monuments of Mars
Pharaoh's Tomb
