I love that you looked at the physical boxes and manuals here!<br><br>I'd like to recommend the Lands of Lore games, especially the first two. They are very different from each other, the first being a 2D dungeon crawler and the second being 3D with glorious FMV, but they are both very story-focused and have that gorgeous Westwood artwork.

I think you'd like Ultima Underworld I & II. Done by Looking Glass Studios. Underworld 2 was my favorite game for so long. It even let you make your own spells using runes, way ahead of its time.

Small correction: Fallout was never an AD&D licensed game. It was originally conceived as a GURPS system game. Steve Jackson Games, who own GURPS, are notoriously difficult to work with. Thus, GURPS was stripped and the SPECIAL system we all know and love was created.

Played my first PC game in 1981...it was the original Wizardry. Hitting 60 years old now it is hard to choose the best because I have played pretty much everything since then.. In my opinion Wizardry 7 & 8 are the best games ever made. Any and every RPG or CRPG owes their existence to this Series. The entire Wizardry Series was incredible.

Great List, though i think i would have included one more - Dragon Age: Origins, which is now 17ish years old and still as great to play today as it was back then.

BG2 Shadows of Amn is my favorite on the list. I also still play the really old-school Strahd's Possession, Menzoberranzan and Stone Prophet.

For JA2 you should have mentioned the 1.13 modding community, you even used clips from that mod in the video. It allows the game to be run on modern systems, adds a lot of quality of life features, and also adds a LOT of new content and new mechanics.

Had a PIII 450 Mhz in the day and later added an nVidia card to run rames. Later upgraded to a new DIY tower with AMD 1800+ with 2 Gb RAM as an ATI 850(?) card. Fun times to play as build your PC.

Awesome list! Such forgotten games like Septerra Core or Pool of Radiance. I would add Temple of Elemental Evil.

I loved Crusaders of the Dark Savant! So many hours exploring, refining my team, solving puzzles, etc.
