Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn

A true unicorn of a game. Got the 4 CD pack and ringed instruction manual at Staples in the late 1990's. I think it was $4. Quality across the board. The cd case had incredible fantasy artwork. The thick manual with color commentary from wizards. And the game itself was deep. Unmatched for the 90's.

I don't think of it as a game anymore. It's a masterpiece of art. Nothing will ever be quite like it again. Not nostalgia, just the fact of the matter.

Fallout 1,2 also. Not quite on BG2s level but I still play them. I got both 1,2 as a $10 pack in the late 90s or early 2000's. deep F'ing value.
