starting with traditional turn-based crawlers:
>Might & Magic 4+5 World of Xeen
easily one of my top 5 dungeon crawlers (though you'll be doing a fair amount of crawling towns and world map too). Technically it's two games installed to the same directory, but you can just grab it the Might & Magic 1-6 collection from gog and it'll handle it for you
>Might & Magic 6-7-8
there's a mod for M&M8 that does it for 6,7, and 8 as well, though it's not quite as seamless
>Potato Flowers in Full Bloom
excellent for beginners and good fun for veterans, featuring a mildly tactical approach to combat and interesting dungeons
>Legend of Grimrock 1 and 2
semi-real time combat (in the vein of Eye of the Beholder or Dungeon Master) that may be hit or miss depending on what you want out of the genre, but excellent dungeons with a strong emphasis on puzzle solving
>D&D Warriors of the Eternal Sun
get the WOTES V2 patch to fix a large number of problems
top down in the field and first person dungeon crawling in caves and dungeons. Based on the BECMI ruleset and set in Mystara's Hollow World, fans have even made a tabletop conversion of the campaign
>Shining The Holy Ark
an ambitious dungeon crawler for the Sega Saturn set in the Shining Force universe. Does a lot of things that wouldn't be done again in the genre for more than a decade. A bit story heavy as the genre goes, not that that's a bad thing as it leads directly to the start of Shining Force III
>Buck Rogers XXVC: Countdown to Doomsday and Matrix Cubed
pic fucking rel
you're not playing as Buck but you will run into him. Lorraine Williams may have been doing her best to tank TSR but Mike Pondsmith wrote the XXVC setting and the video games based on it are pure unadulterated awesome
both the PC and Genesis version are worth playing, with the Genesis being more of a top-down game while PC is a classic dungeon crawler
