It's a 90's game I used to play when I was a kid on the Windows 3.1 DOS.
Description:
There is a shooting box machine type thing in the middle of the screen and there are little rectangular men who come down from the top of the screen and parachute down to the ground. Your goal is to shoot them before they hit the ground because if they do then they will pile on top of each other next to your shooting box machine and blow it up. Very simple design.

Ignore the "-----" lines.
It's a game around the time of Commander Keen, Q*bert, Doom 95 etc... The description might not be entirely accurate, but that's the best from my memory. It's probably something very simple, but I can't seem to recall the name. Anyone got any ideas?

First of all, Q*bert came out in 1982 while the other two games you mentioned came out in the 90s. 
Secondly, the game is Paratrooper.
