Still playable on modern PCs - we play at QuakeCon and get a lot of people watching over our shoulders.

StarCon II, Warcraft II, Final Fantasy II, III, and VII, Super Metroid to name a few.

Oh, and Super Street Fighter II--many a tear were shed over the fury of my haddoken.

Dark Sun, you made my day! I spent so many hours with this game, try so many group combinations and enjoying the game everytime I fired it up.

Yep. The different combinations of classes and the fact that there were so many different ways to go about doing something which led to multiple outcomes to the story for each play through. I even think you could kill anyone you wanted to which lead to more interesting outcomes (and could get you stuck).
 
Final Fantasy 6 (or 3 at the time)
Chrono Trigger
Perfect Dark (and yes, the inferior Goldeneye)
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate 2
Diablo 2
Freespace
NWN
Warcraft 2
Starcraft
Warcraft 3
And vanilla WoW.

Most of these games instilled in me this childlike wonder.

Dear god, I'm not even 30 and already I'm "back in MY day"-ing.

EDIT: and as the avatar suggests, the Legend of Zelda series. Especially the first.

UO, but only if I had time.



First game I ever played too.

I never even played UO, but I was in Evercrack betas around the same time.

As far as enoying, I liked DAOC in it's day.

SWG, before SOE destroyed it, only played one SOE title after that ever since and deleted that one after a few months and never looked back.

I love Super Metroid. It's my favorite game of all time. I still have the original copy I bought back in '94. Occasionally(every 4-7 years)I bust out the old supernes and replay it.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Diablo II and Wing Commander hold a special place too.
