I'm setting up my MiSTer FPGA and want to prioritize a bit. I currently have DOS and Win 95 running, but plan to setup Macintosh and any other worthwhile computer platforms. Any computer platform welcome (I already have the consoles figured out). What are your "must try" game suggestions?

Edit: I just got back to this post and am pleasantly surprised by the response. I'll probably be adding most if not all of these to test since I have the space. Thank you to everyone who commented.

It's an awesome game, but from 2001.

Edit: oh shit. Wikipedia claims 2001 indeed... Now makes me want to check what exactly we played or whether I manufactured that memory....

~~Nope. G1 is from 98, G2 is from 01.

I played them in Germany in German back in the day maybe the English release was later?~~

Where did you get that info? Checked Mobygames after Wikipedia. They also date G1 to 2001. G2 is from 2002. I was sure about the date, because I heard the Gothic episode from the amazing german podcast Stay Forever a few days ago and am now playing the first game. 😁

Edit: worldofgothic also lists the 15.03.01 as the release date for the german version.

Edit 2: my Lemmy app doesn't show the strikethrough and I am a bit too hungover to understand your edit without reading it four times.
