TIE Fighter! It's the reason I really got into gaming, PC gaming specifically. Mario on NES and such were fun, but TIE Fighter was the first game I'd spend all day at school thinking about and then spend all afternoon and all weekend playing. It's on Steam and GOG and has aged really well.
Kudos to Sid Meier's Gettysburg, too.
Your comment totally gave me a flashback. I was always fascinated by the huge ships in the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games, and I spent soooo much time daydreaming about those games in elementary school. No internet required, just imagination!
@brandonsh there has been a lot of work done to upgrade the engine to modern standards and support things like widescreen.
