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.

Portal! Wish Iโ€™d remembered that one for my list. Such an inventive game.

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
