My top two are X-Com(plus TFTD) and Elite(various versions).

Both are still amazingly good to play, even after this time.

I remember having bad dreams in X-Com because when it was night and
you had to save a city from invasion, things crept up on you and
started firing from the dark and then the things with big mouths
tried to eat you and plasma flew everywhere...

Then your troops got controlled and started firing back at you...

Classic game.  So few today have that unseen enemy movement anymore.

Deus Ex was very close in that the AI had the characters move around
and you had to deal with that.  Halflife is the typical Doom model - placed
monsters that activate when their models make LOS to you.  360 degree
fully aware at that(ick).

Elite... well, it's still amazing to play.
