Portal! Wish I’d remembered that one for my list. Such an inventive game.

Morrowind was such an amazing experience, it's one of the games I wish I could experience for the first time again.

Morrowind was bundled with a video card I got, and thought I'd at least try it. I had no idea what it was or how it worked, and I fell headfirst into it. WEEKS thrown at it, and I never got bored.

After that, Oblivion was a letdown for me and I didn't get very far into it. Skyrim was great fun, but the lore was clearly secondary. (I eventually went back to Oblivion and found it a better story than Skyrim, but Morrowind is still the best.)

You can play TES3MP and hold someone else's hand through it for the first time.

Hat tip to you for including some classic games. Most of the respondants are making me feel positively antediluvian :)

Ah, yes. From before the flood of modern content

Both grim Fandango and psychonauts 1 and 2 are absolute gems
