Dune 2 (1992 I think) C&C (1995) Total Annihilation SW: Dark Forces Tie Fighter Aces over the Pacfic
but I think Halflife is my favorite, not only because its an amazing game in its own right, but also because it was my first online gaming experience and spawned many great mods.
i always said it was the fps-rts-rpg holy trinity that made me fall in love with the pc, but i guess i never really got into rpgs until much later - never really thought about it before... age thing, i guess
X-wing was awesome when it came out. I remember my 386 with 4mb of ram it being all choppy lol. I went out and bought a 486 with a whopping 8mb of ram and it ran sweet as hell.

The first Rainbow Six was revolutionary as well.

Had a nice DX/2 as well.. :) Funny how you practically had to "build" your comp back then.. it came with no OS.. no restore CDs... no CD drive.. no soundcard.. etc..
Now we are like little spoiled children .. people still come onto these boards crying that PC gaming is sooo expensive..
BTW, did you slap on that Overdrive processor onto your 486? I went out n bought that so I could slap Windows 95 on the poor thing.. lol
To name a few that weren't mentioned, Heroes of Might and Magic II, Mechwarrior 2, Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries, Master of Orion, Master of Magic, Heretic.
I'd have to say Half-Life, as I still say it's the greatest PC game I've played. I'd also throw Jedi Knight and Tie Fighter on the list because I'm a huge Star Wars (and Kyle Katarn) fan.

Dude, you are my new best friend. I would have named every one of those in the EXACT same order!
as much as all the games mentioned have rocked in one way or another i have to mention some of my fav BBS games of the 90's.
how about Trade Wars?
or Legend of the Red Dragon, and to a lesser extent Usurper
STUDD's and STUDDETS (those where both quite entertaining to my middle school mind)
and the grand daddy of them all MajorMUD. man i can't even calcualte the number of hours i spent playing that game. hours spent searching FTP sites for a new BBS that didn't have players that had already aquired all the good items. heck it even introduced me to basic programming when i learned to make scripts to level up may character while i was at school. that game alone is the reason i give WOW players so much slack, i've been there man......i've been there....
I'm sort of suprised that no one mentioned The Oregon Trail game...but I guess dysentary and stuff like that was something fun out in the Northwest of the US.
