UFO: Enemy Unknown - hated playing it, loved watching my dad play it.
Dune 2 - the game to which every RTS needs to pay some respect to.
Sid Meiers Pirates! Gold (original) - so much better than the current junk
Project X - Great soundtrack, great Bullet Hell
Worms - Comedy Genius
Cannon Fodder - Tactical, difficult, funny

If you haven't noticed, I was a HUGE Team 17 fan :) (including Alien Breed, old and modern)

Nostalgia hasn't always bore out when I have gone back to play them again, but my fondest memories on PC gaming would be with the following games:

Space Quest 3 - Pretty much the first game I played on a PC, other than maybe Civilization

Civilization - See above ... Although I only played it once and couldn't figure out how to change the production in the original city.

Doom 2 - The first game I got on our family Pentium 60 (Before that I had an 8088 in my room, but I actually wrote all of my own games for that using BASIC, since it wasn't powerful enough to play very many games.)

Command and Conquer - I started playing Warcraft 2, and while fun it was nothing compared to the fun I had playing C&C. That game was a blast.

Mech Warrior 2 - I enjoyed the game Battletech, but rarely got to actually play it, and this game did a good job of simulating the rules for that game. Plus it has the best opening cut scene I had ever seen, and still holds up today.

Syndicate - I played through levels on this game over and over again, trying to complete the objectives in many different ways. My favorite was winning a level without ever being seen (by using disguises and bombs).

Dethkarz --- first PC game I really got in to. The spirtual succesor on the PC to the original Wipeout on the PS1. I still keep a Win 98 legacy box around just to play it.

BF2 and UT3.

I stopped playing UT3 when my disc got damaged by someone who didn't handle it right.

Man the time i put into that game i am still looking for a replacement.

BF2 while not that good online i made for it offline running people over was fun i can remember alot of 3am duels between the bots and my 4 wheels of fury.

So much fun .
