My choices are pretty old, because so am. I play and enjoy a lot of new games, but I guess I'm too jaded by now, for them to leave an impression comparable to that of games of my youth.
In no particular order:
1. Elite 2 - Frontier
2. X-Com: Enemy Unknown (the original, but the remake is awesome too)
3. Fallout 2
4. Vagrant Story
5. Hitman: Blood Money
I could probably list another dozen titles, each equally deserving of a spot in top 5. That's possibly because when I was growing, games were something of an alternative sub-culture and were created largely by lone visionaries, or small groups of artists, as opposed to share-holder committees and marketing specialists.
