Ultima IV - Quest of the Avatar
If only there were more games where you could play a true hero: someone who cultivates positive qualities in him/herself and ventures out to the darkest regions of the land to help others.
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers
This is one of the few adventure games that is tailored to perfection.. wonderful details and wry humor!
Asheron's Call
The mmorpg that tried to incorporate real role-playing rather than (just) point-click battles. It may have had its shortcomings, but it fostered community spirit, and thus is the best mmorpg of all-time in my book.
Syberia
Lovely - one of those rare masterpieces that incorporate character development, plot, exploration, and humor along with smooth gameplay and beautiful graphics.
Shadowgate
I loved this game - my favorite part was feeding the coins to the troll just to hear his exclamations (e.g. "mm.. that was a real pick me up!") only to find that it broke the game, since you couldn't get across the bridge :(
Fahrenheit 451 (Apple IIe)
I played this when I was seven and I kept getting eaten by the dogs.. I hardly got anywhere, but I just thought it was the coolest thing.
Centipede
As a kid I played this on my Atari 2600 endlessly. When I added it to this list I went to look it up on Wikipedia, and I discovered that it is considered to be the first computer game written by a woman. It also was the first arcade game with a large female fan base. I didn't know all of that at the time, but I loved it just the same!
