For FPS, see if you enjoy Doom 4. If you enjoy Doom 4 then you should be able to enjoy the whole line of Doom 1/2 - Duke Nukem 3d - Quake 1/2 - Unreal that I consider as the golden age products. Unreal has the most advanced engine and the community releases a few patches back in the day, so you might want to watch a few videos and decide which one(s) to play.

For RPG, there are a few "ages". Check out Ultima 1/2/3/4, Wizardry and Bard's Tale which I consider still fun to play despite the oldskool graphics. If you can't stomach the style or graphics, check out SSI Golden Box products. If you still can't go through any of the above, I'd suggest you try out Fallout, Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter nights (Both Neverwinter nights and Baldur's Gate have an enhanced edition that you can purchase).
