Dungeon Master is great -- you really feel like you're in a dungeon.
You can hear the monsters sneaking up on you, gates opening, etc...
The only problem is that it takes 1Mb of memory.  

I've got Drakken too.  It has nice graphics, but the control seems more
difficult.  I don't know about the memory requirements.

I'd go for the 1Mb upgrade & Dungeon Master.  

Another "adventure type game" I really enjoyed was Space Quest III by
Sierra.  Some of the other Sierra games have some pretty lame graphics
and music, but Space Quest III looked and sounded pretty good.  I'm a
really lousy adventure player (although I like the genre) and I solved
this (almost) by myself, so if you're good at this stuff it might be
too easy.  I thought some of the scenes were pretty funny, though.

A couple of less adventure oriented games that are still a lot of fun
are "Battlehawks 1942" and "Their Finest Hour".  Both are WWII combat
flight simulators.  Battlehawks is about the war in the Pacific and 
Their Finest Hour is about the battle for Britian.  You don't need to
spend a lot of time learning how to fly the planes, and blowing up other
planes is a lot of fun.  You get to fly both sides if you want so you
can see the battle from the other side.
