SNES era RPGs like Final Fantasy, Lufia, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Star Ocean, etc. And once you're done, move on to the equally worthy roster of PlayStation 1 era RPGs.
Populous The Beginning
Many many many hours in computers class in grade school was lost to this game. Best game of what I only found out later to be a series.
There's a lot of great stuff here, I'm going to add morrowind but seriously, mod it, I love the game but it's definitely of its time, controls aren't terrible (a bit alien but workable) but the combat didn't age well, all dice rolls so while it looks like you should connect it's all chance. Game itself gives the player a lot of freedom of choice, tons of ways to play it too.

Shadowgate 64: Trials of the Four Towers
It is a puzzle game like Myst but the puzzles make more sense, less like rubbing 2 coconuts on everything until they fit, and the world has more life to it.
Red Faction (PS1, PC) - Just one of my favorite series. One of the early FPS's with destructible environments. Continued with a series, RF 2, RF: Guerrilla, and RF: Armageddon. RF 1 and RF: Guerrilla are the best imo.
Indigo Prophecy, a.k.a. Fahrenheit (Xbox, PC) - "Interactive Drama" with a wild story. From the same studio and precursor for Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human.
These ate just a couple off the top of my head that I haven't already seen posted here.
Pong.
Alright lots of recommendations in here, some that are making me question how old I am now since some of these don't strike me as old enough to require a recommendation but I'll just suggest one as a bit of a dark horse.
Tyrian 2000, the classic PC Shmup of a time long gone. Oh and I guess Jazz Jackrabbit cause that soundtrack is funky.

Spyro the dragon 1-3
Zelda 2.
Star Wars: Tie Fighter, X-wing, and X-wing vs. Tie Fighter.
Omg that's me in a few months, I was not ready for that
Fatal Frame(s), Silent Hill 1-4, and I agree with the top comment with Katamari. I don't think I've ever frowned playing that game. Also, Sonic the Hedgehog.
The older Bomberman games, the Metal Slug games from the Neo Geo, Gunbird, King of Fighters 2002, Final Fantasy games like II (PSP is the most complete version), VI and Mystic Quest, コテ・DE・メクール (a PC-98 game), the first Shantae, modern homebrews like Tanglewood, Nyx - The Paradox Relic, Augury Red Code and Micro Mages, Mega Race, Kunio-Tachi no Banka (rebranded as River City Girls 0 in its recent release, and has an option to play with untouched dialogues), Wonder Boy in Monster World, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Phoenotopia (Adobe Flash version).
at the moment im playing warhammer 40k dawn of war - soulstorm. it so good.
