Definitely Planescape: Torment. As Mnemophage said, you can forgive some shoddy mechanics for pretty much everything else the game offers. Not only is every tiny character feel like a unique entity and practically every bit of the story is unforgetable, but it's one of the few RPGs I can call to mind that really allow for an alternative to hack-n-slash at nearly every turn and where you really do have a wide-array of options instead of the goody-two-shoes solution or the indescriminantly evil solution.Mnemophage said:
If you haven't played it yet, get on that.
hm... i'm going to repeat some already mentioned to re-affirm my love for them:
Oregon Trail (how can you NOT love oregon trail!?)
Starcontrol 2
Deux Ex
System Shock 2
Planescape: Torment
Grim Fandango
Half life 1&2
Baldur's Gate 2
Morrowind
Descent (would've forgotten this one, but its awesome)
Wing Commander Series (now Freespace 2 and its mods also)
Space Quest/Kings Quest/Quest for Glory Series
Monkey Island 1. I like 1, the rest, meh.
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (forget exact title)
MOO 2
and many, many more that I can't recall at the exact moment

Did anyone say Sacrifice? No? I'll say it then. Sacrifice.
There.
I'd also like to second MDK 2. That game was a joy from beginning to end and it's a shame that nobody bought or played it. I mean you can play as a four-armed dog wielding four chainguns at once. What's not to like?
Plus the original MDK introduced the Gaming world to the joys of sniping, which should never be forgotten.
Oooh, everyone needs to play at least one of the Advance Wars games too.

Little Big Adventure(called Relentless here in America). It's an under-appreciated oldie(runs on DOS), and pretty fun. Just recently got it working on my PC and am playing it again for the first time in god knows how long.
Team Fortress 2 deserves a mention. And if you like team gameplay like that, might as well give Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory a try. It's free.
Hum.. All the other games I was going to mention have already been said.

I'll mention games that have not yet been mentioned and are kinda old:
Sid Mier's Alpha Centauri (How did you guys miss this, PCGamer gave it a 98% score, tied with half-life 2's score)
Ascendancy (this actually works without a DOSbox, amazing)
Super Mario 64 (duh)
The Longest Journey (perhaps THE best traditional point-click adventure game)
Guild Wars (k fine it's not an old game, but this is good for anti-WoW ppl, in my view alot of the things you thought were missing or wanted in WoW can be found in Guild Wars (goes vice-versa too unfortunately).

Well, lets see here
- Ocarina of Time. This doesn't even need an explanation
- Eternal Darkness. This game was excellent. Great storyline, graphics and gameplay and it kept me entertained enough to play it through three times to get the final ending.
- Pokemon Red/Blue. Yes I am adding these ones in because despite their childish nature, they were fun and completing the PokeDex doesn't involving find 8 billion different f****** varieties of pokemon as the modern incarnations do.
- Baldur's Gate 2. I have played this game to death and I still love it. I have yet to play it the same way twice, although my favourite was the sorcerer class.
- Super Smash Bros. This was the highlight of the N64 aside from the blessed Ocarina of Time and allowed my parents to discover new swears words as me and bro were beating the hell out of each other.
- Goldeneye. It was kick ass for its day. You could even lag it
Finally Diablo 2 - Truly awesome game. Well done to Blizzard.
