I won't list the bad games, as their are too many to list, and I prefer not to be too negative, in general.. Here's the goods!

I see a lot people exclaiming their fondness over X-Com, but no-one said anything about JAGGED ALLIANCE 2, or it's prequel.

Fallout 1 and 2, definately.

Viper Racing -- INCREDIBLY good physics, and the only game I've ever played with a truly dynamic damage modelling technique!

Grand Prix Legends -- Hard as hell, but PERFECT physics, AWESOME sense of speed.

European Air Warrior -- Excellently well-rounded gameplay. No flight simulator since has been quite as well-rounded.

Let me throw in another vote for Autoduel. This was one of my all-time Favorites, and if someone doesn't make another game based on the Car Wars series, I will totally freak out. I have a TON of ideas about a game like this, and would LOVE to exercise them!

Combat Mission : Barbarrossa to Berlin -- I can't believe more SEIV players don't know about this game. It's so appealing in similar ways. I LOVE the armor penetration modelling, it makes me ERECT.

Total Annihilation : Similar in some respects to the complexities of SEIV, you could build your empire in HUNDREDS of different ways, and each unit countered another, appropriately. PLUS -- YOU COULD LOB SEVERAL NUKES AT A TIME AT YOUR OPPONENT! WOW!!
