With the realization that plowing through my backlog could alter my choices, gotta go with the games that I've installed on every PC I've owned since I first bought these titles at their initial release:
Independence War 2 http://www.gog.com/game/independence_war_2
Operation: Flashpoint http://www.gog.com/game/arma_cold_war_assault

Gothic 2, with Betrayal at Krondor a very, very close second. My only game above those is Fallout 3. So there's my top 3 all time, all genre games. Two out of three are available here at gog. Not bad.

Thief II: The Metal Age, the perfect thieving simulator, the single most immersive game I've ever played.
It's the only game I would ever consider myself a fan of. All the other games are "just games" to me.
It just nailed the atmosphere with the filmnoirish steampunk fantasy setting and the wry cynical protagonist. The dark ambient soundtrack of Eric Brosius is to die for and the attention to the audio environment puts modern games to shame. The city feels lived in and the NPC's feel like real people. The conversations people have with each other and the things they mutter to themselves are often genuinely funny and it does a lot to humanise the guards. They aren't just generic bad guys who like to kick puppies for no reason, they're regular people who complain about the long hours, feel left behind by the rapid progress, have fantasies about getting rich and hiring their own guards*, and sometimes get drunk at work and try to chat up the barmaid.
* "Someday I'm not gonna be a guard, anymore. I'm gonna be a m...manor lord. An' I'm gonna hire lotsa guards to make them go on patrols an' night watch. An' I'm gonna sneak up on them...say, 'Didn't you hear something?' An' watch 'em jump. "

Psychonauts. "Imaginative" is really the key word with this game. Every level is completely unforgettable and the story has an excellent balance of comedy and plot. I love bizarre games, but what I think is even more impressive than just being random is giving your surreal humor actual context, Very little in the game feels weird just for the sake of being weird, everything that seems off is there for a reason, whether it just says something about the character whose mind your in at the time or is foreshadowing to a later event in the story. It's clever, likable and utterly insane, and that's why I absolutely adore it.
