Final Fantasy VII (It's really the best video game ever, and I know it's really a PS game but it did come out on PC too)
Starcraft: Brood War (I agree with E.M. that all Blizzard titles are great)
Tribes 1 & 2 (Best online experiences ever. Beats the hell out of those $10 a month games that are coming out. And I believe both games are being given away for free now. So depressing...)
Grim Fandango (All Tim Schaefer games are brilliant)
Wing Commander: Privateer (Or freelancer if you don't like dated games)
Either age of empires or Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Those were two early games that really started their genres, respectively. Great games, I actually still plauy some AOE from time to time.
What did the five fingers say to the face?! Slllap!!

Looking Glass games put out some great games a few years ago
System Shock 1 & 2 Thief 1 & 2
Fallout would probably but in the runnings for me, as would be many of the early Lucasarts game.

Umm, wow. RTCW and AoE were *early* entries into their genres? What are you, 14?

Best ever is tough. There are a LOT of great games out there. I'd have to go with, in no particular order: Everquest series Baldur's Gate series Icewind Dale series Civilization III The Sims Knights of the Old Republic
I also loved Final Fantasy VII, but I've only played it on the playstation, so I've no idea how it was on the PC.
Best games (as defined by the games I enjoyed a lot, or enjoyed playing for a long time)
Baldur's Gate I, II + expansions Starcraft Torment Starcontrol II (but not 3!) Diablo I and especially II Age of Empires II: Age of Mythology (not 3!) X-Men Legends Series Myst (any of the series) Deus X (the first only) Fallout (I and II)
