1) Planescape Torment - probably the best game to use a story ever created, if there is any art in gaming this game would definitely be a candidate as what kind of 'art' gaming can be.
2) Freespace series, no other space sim has put the fun elements together like this series, it's too bad it's sales numbers were so low, I would love a freespace like MMO, it would blow the doors of games like EVE: Online which bore you to death because there is no realtime action and it's all computer controlled.
3) Descent 2, probably one of the most under-rated games of all time, since this game was released before games had full IP support and was done over IPX emulation via kali. Then when Quake came out, it pretty much killed interest in this game over kali. This game had the best 3D multiplayer I have ever experienced, some of the most amazing full motion video renders and which set the 'tone' and feel for the plot, even though it wasn't original or even that deep, it was certainly iteresting for a game of this type. It was difficult to play but even with a keyboard, mouse and joystick, the challenge of mastering true 3D combat made you feel more godly then any in any other modern FPS, true 3D combat, not that panzy soldier stuck to the ground shit. I could never get tired of fighting multiplayer opponents in this game, even with the crappy graphics and fugly cube-ified corridors. It's too bad descent 3 could not recapture the magic and feel of multiplayer descent 2.
4) Fantasy General - A game that slipped entirely under the radar because hex-style strategy games were on the way out and the units/design and graphics were a bit weird (graphically). It was like panzer general but with fantasy units, this game was deep and very cool despite the awkward art and fantasy units, the still sketches and drawings for many of the units were very classy and well done, and the music was well done as well, very epic, I still have some of the songs in MP3 format on my hard drive.
