For me it was definitely DOOM 2! Miles ahead of anything else I had played before.

Honestly? For me I'd have to say Commander Keen. I spent an hour on a long distance BBS to download the 1MB demo with a 2400 baud modem just to try it. It was totally worth it (to me, not my grandma's phone bill) and absolutely blew my mind at the time. Seeing that smooth scrolling and having a platformer like SMB on the PC was seriously crazy at the time.

Plus eventually that led me to Wolfenstein 3-D which was mind-blowing itself, and then of course Doom.
