Any Easter(ish) DOS games? (retrolemmy.com)

Does anyone know of any good DOS games that fit the Easter, spring, colorful aspects of the holiday?

I'm in the mood to play something festive later and I've been on a retro PC kick lately, so I'm just curious if anyone has any suggestions for me to try!

For some reason when you say colorful dos games, my mind immediately went to some of the Commander Keen games. Doom also has a Commander Keen as an Easter egg in it. And Quake has a dopefish in it. So any of those if Easter egg isn't too much of a stretch.

Usually themed games are not too enjoyable. But you could try Billy bear's Enchanted Easter at your own risk.
