I loved Planescape:Torment. I also love the BG-series, and Diablo II.
Long ago, I loved the old SSI Gold box game, especially the Pool of Radiance series. But most of you here are to young to have played them
But I'm a really bad source of information, I haven't played many CPG:s in my life. I found Warcraft II too easy, you learned an effective strategy too fast.
@MM: You like Planescape? Two things we can agree about

Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter. Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the speciality of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of reckless cowards who are so eager to escape that they exit directly through the wall of a house, leaving a cookie-cutout-perfect hole. The threat of skunks or matrimony often catalyzes this reaction.
yep, I remember 'em as well-- I finished all the gold box games. My first was Champions of Krynn on my c64. Great games!
Pirates! was cool, too.
I still remember getting killed in my first fight by about 5 hobgoblins! I didnit realise that one sleep spell could finish them all off. Now that's real gaming! Horrid wilting and timestops? Bah

1) Unreal Tournament: Best first-person shooter ever created in my opinion.
2) StarCraft: Best RTS in my opinion, great story too.
3) Baldur's Gate 2: Need I say more?
4) Heroes of Might and Magic: The reason why I like turn-based stragety now.
5) Homeworld: I just love this game!!!
6) Diablo 1: IMO, better than D2.
Although I am only 15, I too have played the GoldBox games thanks to Abandonware websites. My favorites are Pool of Radiance and Eye of the Beholder. The one thing I don't like old-school RPGs is that they are all first person with a very limited freedom to move. I think Baldur's Gate is a great improvement using the isometric view instead of first person.
