What is your list of 'must-play' games. I'm trying to fill the gap between some awaited new releases by going back and trying some classic stuff. Suggestions?

<font color=cadetblue>In no particular order:
WarCraft II
WarCraft III
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Wolfenstein 3d ;)
Diablo 1 & 2
StarCraft +Brood War
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
Baldur's Gate II
Unreal Tournament
Half Life + Various Mods

What Lothar said. But I'd add Red Alert 2, Homeworld, and SystemShock2.

And Halo and Soul Reaver and Myth II and Giants (what a funny game).

edit: and Fallout. :D

And

Planescape: Torment

Baldur`s Gate series
Warcraft III
Icewind Dale series
Max Payne(series? :D )
Starcraft
Planscape:Torment
Elite Force
Half-Life

Must play games ehh?

System Shock (both of them)
Fallout (Same here, both of them)
Wizards & Warriors
Elder Scrolls Arena
Freedom Fighters
Sim City
Warcraft
Warlords
Might&Magic (the early ones)

Hmm yes I won't add the BG series since everyone here has played it. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

There are many classics to be played, good to hear you're going back a bit.
My reccomendations may be a bit older than most others, which well, should almost be a pre-requisite for the classic tag! :D

I'll stick to RPG's.
A few classics which I've found very inspiring over the years:

Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar
Ultima VII: The Black Gate
Ultima Underworlds 1 & 2
Curse of the Azure Bonds (Yep, that 'old SSI RPG engine!)
Bard's Tale III: The Thief of Fate
Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday
Buck Rogers: The Matrix Cubed
Eye of the Beholder I and II
Lands of Lore
Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession

Okay I don't even want to think too long on what my avatar has turned into...

Anyways, keep the suggestions coming. I have played many that have been mentioned above. Anything D&D I've played also. Is starcraft Sci-fi? Alot of people seem to recommend this game, what's so good about it? Never played half-life either..isn't that a first person shooter (groan)? I don't really like FPS's with the exception of the Thief series which IMHO was a first person sneaker [img]tongue.gif[/img] .

Starcraft is a RTS! Very good one!
