Superb games with less than great graphics, any examples?

Here are a few that came to mind:

System Shock 2

Diablo II

Rise of Nations (GameSpot's Game of the Year, but I didn't like it)

Deus Ex

Planescape: Torment

Heritic & Hexen series

Eye of the Beholder 1 & 2

Jagged Alliance was great... even though the graphics were pretty rough... even for '94.

Same goes with Civilization, it had very basic graphics, yet it's infinitely addictive.

Superbly stupid games, yes.
