I actually started gaming with shareware games back when computers ran on some form of DOS and an 80386 processor was fast. I regged (registered) some of those games, too.
Over the years, though, I've enjoyed the following:
Baldur's Gate (borrowed from my sister) Baldur's Gate 2 (bought for my niece, but is now mine) Diablo, Diablo II and Lord of Destruction (aforementioned niece and sister lost my LoD disk) Morrowind Oblivion (although it stopped playing with my old video card after I updated the driver and I didn't figure out the problem until it was too late to roll back the driver) DA:O and Awakening (I'm still on the fence about whether or not I'll get DAII. Once I start with a series, I like staying with it to see what the newer incarnations add.) Neverwinter Nights
I sometimes play assorted "pinball" freebie games like Color Cubes (Tetris knockoff) or Amazon Adventure (marble matching). "Pinball" games are the ones where you don't really have to think, just react. And I sometimes play certain simple, freebie puzzle games.
I'm looking forward to Skyrim, but I hope BethSoft supports it better than they did Oblivion. BethSoft issued the last patch for Oblivion when the game had been out less than six months. Now, Blizzard knows how to support a game. You can get an updated version (upgraded for the newer operating systems) of their Diablo Warchest.
